AstraZeneca to seek U.S. authorization for COVID-19 vaccine this month or early next
Nasdaq.com ^ | MAR 12, 2021 | Julie Steenhuysen (Reuters)

AstraZeneca Plc AZN.L is preparing to file for U.S. emergency use authorization (EUA) for its COVID-19 vaccine later this month or early April after accumulating enough data to judge the inoculation's efficacy, sources with knowledge of the ongoing clinical trial told Reuters on Friday (12 Mar).

AstraZeneca said in February it expects its vaccine could receive U.S. emergency use authorization at the beginning of April and could immediately deliver 30 million doses to locations around the United States.

Cleared by the EU health ‘experts’. That sure was fast, I doubt they did much (if any) testing?

So how many of those countries started dosing it out again? Or are they still suspending it, and ignoring the EU?

with the removal of this dangerous DNA operating system
from so many countries, so much more will be available
for the dangerous, lying, treasonous US “govt-CCPcontrolled”
to now force-inject into the remaining Americans,
as the virtue signal blue wrist bands are now revealed.

No country ‘banned’ the AZ vaccine. It was suspended by various countries following the blood clot reports. The European Medicines Agency announced today that there was nothing statistically anomalous in the clotting. Fracne, Italy, Spain and Germany have already announced that they’re immediately resuming AZ. It’s been pointed out that the risk of clotting from Covid itself is far higher than the risk from vaccination.

You could very well be right. I’ll be curious to see how the FDA handles the suspension from some European countries and the issue of ineffectiveness with the South Africa variant. Personally, I just don’t see the point of approving a vaccine that doesn’t work against all variants. To me, that’s just asking for that variant to become dominant in the US among a population of people who thought they were fine because they had been vaccinated.

But hey, FDA might surprise me and just decided to issue the EUA anyway. I’ve certainly been wrong before.

Excuse me but are you saying blood clots are not serious?

Why would they have to do additional testing when they have all the data they’ve collected from those who’ve been vaccinated. These ‘blood clots’ incidents were extremely rare. The article noted that those on birth control do experience ‘blood clots’ and most of the reports of blood clots were in women of childbearing age. Quite simply, as much as many would like, they can’t blame every thing on the vaccines when there are other possible causes.

The article didn’t address specific countries. Knowing how tightly managed the EU can be, I doubt these other countries will persist after the EU gives its approval.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, there’s no way to tell if they are flat making that up since these vaccines are experimental and don’t have sufficient studies/trials. The human population will serve as their guinea pigs and I doubt they are going to rush to tell us that their products are dangerous.

Also, there are other harms from the vaccines, like “immune thrombocytopenia” so it’s not like ‘there’s no real problem with blood clots’ so let’s resume cause it’s safe. They are having the same political problems we are in which political objectives are driving the ‘need’ to ditch safety concerns and FORCE FORCE FORCE the vaccine on everyone world-wide.

“AstraZeneca to seek U.S. authorization for COVID-19 vaccine this month or early next”

well, there sure would be a bountiful supply for the U.S. since use of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been suspended in more than a dozen countries:

The medical industry has been weaponized as a political tool. We are being lied to, people. Below I'll include a post I wrote re Moderna and Pfizer which sounds like the same level of 'safety' 'efficacy' distortions making the rounds about AstraZeneca. We have to advocate for ourselves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Covid-19 'vaccines' are mis-classified. They are gene therapies which have been classified as 'vaccines' in order to protect manufacturers from liability, and to lure people into wanting them. They do not prevent disease or stop you from transmitting the illnesses to others - which is what vaccines do.

The Covid-19 vaccines are actually experimental gene therapies. They are based on mRNA technology invented in 2005. Since that time no illness was successfully treated with that technology.

The mRNA technology was used to try to create a vaccine for HIV and other Corona Viruses in the past. They never could get it to work for HIV or any other disease. In animal trials in 2005 and 2012, the animals died. After injection, the animals displayed elevated antibodies as expected. But when the animals were exposed to the actual Corona Viruses they were testing, their immune system overeacted (i.e. Antibody Enhancement Reaction).

Note the animal trials were performed on OTHER Corona Viruses, not Covid-19, because there are still no isolated samples of Covid-19 for the researchers to use. The fact that no sample of Covid-19 is available anywhere is 'of concern'. The PCR tests were created without the Covid-19 virus samples too - they don't detect the pressence of Covid-19 viruses specifically, they detect the presence of fragments of proteins found in numerous other viruses and other materials.

The current Covid-19 gene therapies were never animal tested, skipped the 2-year testing period required for FDA approval and after 2 months of testing on humans, was given an "Emergency Use Authorization", so it's not FDA approved. It's EUA or authorized on the (false) belief that no other safe medications or treatments are available; that's why they have to prevent HCQ and Ivermectin from being available to the public - otherwise these gene therapies would have to go through 2 years of testing in addition to animal studies, which they know will fail as it has been failing for 15 years.

Aside from the 2 months of testing during Operation Warp Speed, the mRNA technology has never been tested on humans before the administration of these Covid-19 vaccines. When the 'vaccines' were released to the public, the manufacturers refused to release most of their experimental data; to date they still haven't released all of it. Slowly they have released some of it and when analyzed, their data reveals that claims regarding efficacy are 'different' from reality.

In a British medical journal, an associate editor (Dr. Doshie? (sp)) said that, based on the data, the vaccines are likely about 19% effective instead of manufactuers and MSM claims that they are 95% effective. At this low rate, they never would have been approved for use.

He's too general when he uses the term "approved" re the FDA because he shows elsewhere he knows they are experimental, therefore not FDA approved but "authorized". At the 8 minute mark, he's talking about side-effects etc. E.g., it seems likely that there is no way to turn off the spike proteins the Covid-19 therapies tell the cells to make so they are theoretically always churning out new ones, driving the body to fight and likely to trigger long term autoimune issues.

the AstraZeneca vaccine is the one that actually does affect a cell’s nucleus that it enters that some conflate with all of the vaccines.

Virtually none of that is true, as has been pointed out to you before.

“Fracne, Italy, Spain and Germany have already announced that they’re immediately resuming AZ.”

From the article Cathi linked in post#5, detailing the extent of the purported clotting issue:

“13 patients... in at least five countries”

More than 20 MILLION patients have received the AZ vaccine, in the UK alone.

Less than one in a million?

As Winniesboy posted “The European Medicines Agency announced today that there was nothing statistically anomalous in the clotting.”

Might be changing as more and more facilities are now receiving vaccines instead of them being very limited...you can ask around to see what vaccine is being offered at which facility.

If it were me, then I would just get in my car and drive around until I found a place that had the one I preferred.

It's for my mom and she would lose patience if we had to drive around for hours until we found the place with the one she wants.

I called around and no one will officially tell you over the phone which one they have. It's treated like a Masonic handshake.

“I’d be surprised if the risk-averse FDA actually authorized the AZ/Oxford vaccine any time soon.”

I’m wondering if Fauci might slow down approvals to competitors of Moderna, in which he is reported to have a big financial interest.

“no one will officially tell you over the phone which one they have.”

This app allows you to search for a particular type of vaccine (uncheck the others): https://vaccinefinder.org/search/

Ask the folks who work there when the new appointments open up. It can be pointless to search at other times, as batches often book up in minutes.

Also, some Freepers have recommended searching sites in majority minority neighborhoods - they often have much better supply/demand situations.

Personally, I’ll take the first available to me. I’d rather have the convenience of a one-shot, but I anticipate being offered Pfizer in April, so that’s most likely for me.

I’ve had a pretty good life and I’ll continue to do so as long as God wants me to. And I’ll do it without a Covid ‘vaccine.’

Forgot to tell you but when we got our second shot today, they gave us these buttons. About four inches across, Says “I’ve Been Vaccinated.”They’re like the old political campaign buttons. Wonder if I wear one to Walmart, I can skip the mask.
