James Rodger – Birmingham Mail Apr 24, 2021

Vaccine chiefs could move to outright ban the AstraZeneca jab for under-40s.

It comes after fears the true link to blood clots could be higher than previously thought.

Reports on Saturday suggest the true clot risk is now double.

Under-30s are being prioritised for Pfizer and Moderna jabs, amid blood clot risk fears.

The AstraZeneca won’t be offered to anybody aged between 18 and 29 as it stands.

The joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation is considering whether a further change of policy is needed for older groups, the Telegraph reports.

Medical Healthcare Products and Regulatory Agency (MHRA) chief executive Dr June Raine has spoken out.

She said: “It is still vitally important that people come forward for their vaccination when invited to do so.”

Comment — Apr 24, 2021

You really have to wonder why people are being urged to get vaccinated against Covid-19, despite the higher risk of bloodclots. After all, for most of the population Covid-19 is only marginally more severe than seasonal cold and flu. The only people who seem vulnerable are the very old or those with pre-existing health problems — the very same people who are now most at risk from Covid-19.

In fact were it not for the constant fear-mongering from the media and politicians about the “pandemic”, you might not have noticed that seasonal cold and flu have all but disappeared.

Or could it be that they are now being diagnosed as Covid-19?

Either way we all being urged to get vaccinated against an illness that for most will be no more severe than seasonal cold and flu, with a vaccine that has not completed proper testing. In fact trials were halted last year after test subjects fell ill. They were subsequently restarted but testing has still not been completed. So we still don’t know what the long-term impact of the AstrZeneca vaccine will be.

I shouldn’t have to spell this out. It should be glaringly obvious. It normally takes between 10-to-15 years to develop and test a new vaccine. So why the frantic rush with the Covid-19 vaccine?

Why are health authorities urging people to get vaccinated with what is essentially still an experimental vaccine?
