AstraZeneca to withdraw Covid vaccine

There is so much disinformation and extremism on this platform. This is a good example. The claims made about the reason of withdrawal have nothing to do with any safety!

5 infant deaths in the UK from whooping cough.
Totally preventable if mothers get the vaccine during pregnancy, and kids get it during childhood.

Tragic and so unnecessary. The legacy of antivaxx misinformation.

People who have been diagnosed with cancer are often desperate. And unfortunately, that makes them very vulnerable to scam artists offering them a cure.

'vaccination has averted 154 million deaths'

WHO launched the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in 1974 to make life-saving vaccines available to all.

On the 50th anniversary of EPI, authors quantify the public health impact of vaccination: hubs.li/Q02w0Qpd0

Hey John Olooney was the leg ischaemic? Do you even know how to tell? If that clot formed during life, the leg would be ischaemic. It is clearly a post-mortem clot and you are misrepresenting clots to scare people. Maybe stop?

In this thread I will make some comments on the recently published paper in Cureus entitled 'Increased age-adjusted cancer mortality after the third mRNA lipid nanoparticle vaccine dose during the covid-19 pandemic'

The title is extremely misleading, given their data do not show…

VAERS is actually a national warning system that analyzes reports of possible side effects from vaccines -- it's meant to detect potential safety issues. I think Shanahan means the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which is a separate thing entirely which is funded by an excise…

It is with overwhelming gratitude, a little embarrassment, and a lot of excitement to share that I made it to the @TIME100 Health!

I’m equally floored to be alongside these other 99 incredible changemakers worldwide. Simply my heroes. time.com/collection/tim…

The only people I’m mocking are ones who think that post-mortem clots or literal arteries are mysterious, never before seen blood clots caused by mRNA vaccines. Lying about vaccine injuries only hurts those who actually deserve compensation and help. But cowards who block me…

I was going to say what I really think about John Campbell and his despicable Midazolam claims, but I decided to tone it down.

Contrary to what Dr Naomi Wolf claims, it’s not COVID vaccines. Research groups all around the world have checked. But anti-vaxxers don’t actually care about kids so why would they acknowledge this? ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Why has H5N1 bird flu infected other animals more readily? Humans lack one type of cell receptor in the upper respiratory tract that viruses can use to establish an infection. I cover some examples in my below explainer video:

Another episode of: Did Chief Turd actually read the study and does he care about the truth of what it says? Clearly not. So is he incompetent or a liar? You decide 😊 jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
