WHO Approves AstraZeneca Vaccine for Emergency Use, But Some Nations Say
‘No Thanks’
‘No Thanks’
The World Health Organization (WHO) Monday approved two versions of the AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID vaccine for emergency use despite growing safety concerns in other countries and earlier questions about the drug-maker’s clinical trials.
Countries like the U.S., UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia and others have their own regulatory process for granting emergency use approval for vaccines and other drugs, but those countries that lack the necessary regulatory framework rely on WHO to vet vaccines.
WHO’s approval of the vaccines produced by AstraZeneca-SKBio (Republic of Korea) and the Serum Institute of India paves the way for 300 million doses of AstraZeneca to reach 145 countries in the first half of 2021, through Bill Gates’ COVAX program.
But while WHO is moving forward, other countries are hitting pause on AstraZeneca amid ongoing reports of side effects and lack of efficacy.
According to Fierce Pharma, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not approve the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine due to inconsistent manufacturing concerns and a study released earlier this month showing the vaccine’s efficacy against the mild and moderate COVID-19 was only 21.9%, well below the 50% threshold required for vaccine approval.
According to the Wall Street Journal, South Africa suspended plans to distribute the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine when the same study showed only 10% efficacy at protecting against the mild and moderate COVID-19 from the new South African variant.
South Africa’s health minister, Zweli Mkhize, said, “the country would temporarily halt a planned rollout of the vaccine until there was more information on the vaccine’s efficacy” and instead distribute the as of yet unapproved Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Although the European Medicines Agency authorized the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine for anyone over the age of 18, Germany did not authorize the vaccine for use in people 65 or over citing a “lack of efficacy.”
According to the BBC, France’s health regulator said there was still not enough data about the effectiveness of the vaccine in people over 65. Austria, Belgium, Poland and Switzerland also recommended the vaccine not be given to older people, citing insufficient evidence.
Reuters reported today that health authorities in some European countries are experiencing resistance to AstraZeneca’s COVID vaccine after hospital staff and front-line workers experienced adverse reactions. Although a spokesman for AstraZeneca said side effects are to be expected, France, Germany and Sweden are experiencing more side effects from the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine than from the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to Reuters.

Although a spokesman for AstraZeneca said side effects are to be expected, France, Germany and Sweden are experiencing more side effects from the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine than from the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to Reuters.
Two regions in Sweden temporarily halted vaccinations last week after 400 people received the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine and 100 people experienced adverse reactions leaving them unable to work. Another region observed a surprising number of side effects after a mass vaccination effort of more than 500 people.
“There seems to have been a larger proportion of side effects than expected,” Andreas Heddini, medical director of AstraZeneca in the Nordic region told SVT News. “We have seen that somewhere around 10 percent of those vaccinated are expected to have side effects of this kind.”
Multiple adverse reactions were reported during the 2020 AstraZeneca trials, including spinal cord damage consistent with transverse myelitis, death and acute neuro encephalopathy. Although global trials were temporarily paused, the trial in India moved forward and Indian Health Secretary, Rajesh Bhushan, said during a press conference that the adverse event would “not affect the timeline in any manner whatsoever.”
The AstraZeneca vaccine is different from Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA COVID vaccines. The AstraZeneca vaccine is based on the virus’ genetic instructions for building the spike protein — proteins on the SARS-CoV-2 virus that it uses to enter human cells. Whereas Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines use single-stranded RNA to “store” these instructions, the AstraZeneca vaccine uses double-stranded DNA. Researchers then added the gene for the coronavirus spike protein to a modified version of a chimpanzee adenovirus that can enter cells.
The AstraZeneca vaccine is similar to the controversial ebola vaccine, a DNA and recombinant-based adenovirus vaccine, which, as The Defender reported in December, may put some populations at heightened risk of developing HIV.
Despite AstraZeneca’s confusing results and efficacy of only 63.09% compared to the 95% efficacy rating of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, it is hailed because it is easier and cheaper to produce than other rivals that have already been approved by WHO. WHO is focused on scaling up production and distribution of the vaccine, explained Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO’s director-general.

Greebo • 4 hours ago Those who act on emotions will be stampeded into taking a new type of vaccine that is only partially and hastily tested by those who stand to profit enormously from its sale. Others will prefer to take their vitamins D and C, zinc and quercetin which are not known to harm anyone and are proven to block or ameliorate the effects of COVID 19.- Elizabeth_Hart • 3 hours ago The authority of the WHO has to be challenged.
The WHO is a front for the vaccine industry*, it's funded by countries which are developing massive vaccine markets, e.g. the US, the UK, Germany, Australia and others. The top funder of the WHO is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations, with the BMGF founded GAVI Alliance in 6th place.
There must be an investigation into the WHO, which has had enormous influence over the handling of the current coronavirus situation.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and World Economic Forum were also behind Event 201, a pandemic table-top exercise conducted in October 2019, which appears to be the blueprint for the industry-focused and fear-mongering response to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.
Now vaccine products approved under Emergency Authorizations are being rushed out around the world in a massive experiment, without 'informed consent'.
We are in a disastrous situation, we must demand accountability for this NOW!

kris Elizabeth_Hart • 2 hours ago I agree. it's one thing to start a non-profit.. it's another thing when all of a sudden that non profit turns into a global dictator. if these are non profits who get to form public policy... then they should answer to the public.. there should be some way to prevent someone from acting like a majority shareholder just because they donate so much money to them. that or limit how much any one individual can donate to them. the world health organization should answer to the world not to bill and enabler gates.
MICHAEL • 2 hours ago Probably not germane in the bigger picture but its clear the people in the middle of this pushing vaccines are operating from "the greater good" so that 100 people with serious anaphylaxis out of 400 is just the bad news that requires you to swallow hard and keep it moving. They have no idea what the long term death rate will be after the 2nd installment and try not to care.
Eeezumblogspot • 2 hours ago The names; Bill and Melinda Gates are beginning to be associated with fear, loathing, disgust, and a strong desire for these people to be convicted of crimes against humanity... However, although Billie's name no longer suggests trust, his money continues to buy the right people, allowing him to continue destroying the lives of millions.Share ›- MICHAEL • 2 hours ago The various pieces of the plot are coming boldly into plain site.
The use of false death and case numbers manufactured in the US by the CDC.

The WHO by their aggregate actions proves they cannot be trusted.
Unfortunately, based on everyone's actions, it appears that the RNA and DNA "vaccines" are a biological attack on the population as a whole. The infrastructure that Gates has built (seen and unseen) seems poised to maximize the long term damage of these DNA-altering shots as if under a directive to reduce population (the "useless eaters") with the WHO, CDC, FDA, and NIH in each country corrupted to follow their agenda.
Unless we can make visible a massive debate on the science of all this, I believe we're doomed. - Kalen • an hour ago The so called controversy about AstraZeneca “vaccine” and Modena/Pfizer “vaccine” is all corporate power play, it is all about money and who gets it as rejection of cheap Sputnik V and Sinopharm “vaccines” proves it. Whatever they say both types mRNA and adenovirus viral vector “vaccines” have not been proven safe or efficacious within targeted groups. Neither the west nor Russia or China published raw data and neither were internationally peer reviewed as all operate in under emergency mode approval.
As the irrefutable fact of faulty methodology of “vaccine trials” relying on flawed PCR test to determine infection status of trial patients, lack of sufficient testing of vaccines as phase 2,3 trials have not been completed and conclusions on safety and efficacy not reached while reality of unprecedented scale and severity of COVID vaccine linked short term adverse effects with unknown long term outlook sets in, opposition grows among broad swaths of population refusing to become guinea pigs in such medical experiment.
As a response more and more aggressive virtue signaling campaigns are being unleashed. From blatant threats of killing grandmas by refusing to take a jab to accusations of anti social behavior of harmful delinquency bordering to criminality to pseudo intellectual appeal accusing people mostly liberals and progressives, proponents of natural life of clean air, soil, food and clean drug free life of being hypocrites, Luddites tifling medical progress whose ideology becoming too harmful to society at large to be tolerated.
Similar fascist threats are directed for example to Orthodox Jews refusing vaccinations on religious grounds by alleged Israeli progressives calling for total subjugation of Jewish religion to state law. The COVID vaccination medial rhetoric became more blatant and aggressive than before aimed at fighting well founded skepticism and natural self-preservation instinct by calling for socioeconomic extortion and protection rackets to be adopted by governments and corporates as governing policies of metaphorical starvation of enemies.
What we witness today is Nazi style Medical Apartheid in addition to already exponentially growing socioeconomic apartheid being introduced under guise of phantom pandemic.
Like in the past fascism was fueled by alliance between degenerated liberals, lapsed socialists and corporate elites and landed aristocracy, the same alliance between progressive liberals, woke movement committed to the same ideology of identity politics of division that brought us institutional racism, is bringing us contemporary fascism and corporatism of today - 2. Astrazeneca used a more honest testing protocol?
I need to look at testing protocols between the mRNA manufacturers to see... Maybe someone else has already done this?- Voyt Regnal Sentinel • 3 hours ago just do not take these jabs..the best approach.
- "Think the Oxford jab's safe? - 2nd Gov. update on adverse reactions to Covid vaccines released!", at:
https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2...- Chelsea Yorkshire Christine Thompson • 3 hours ago Yes, we found the article. Considering that Daily Expose is using a UK govt. site, it's very likely that 4-8x more fatalities and serious injuries have gone unreported. After all, all Western governments have been euthanized by BIg Pharma, Big Corporations, and the real odd balls like Monster Gates.Christine Thompson Sentinel • 4 hours ago Here's a document from here in the UK, re. the Adverse Effects of the AstraZeneca (Oxford) injection... provides data re. what adverse events have taken place, including deaths, blindness, and many others. What a tragedy that so many people, worldwide, have been brainwashed into thinking that this injection is safe...I hope this will create a clickable link...)
