AstraZeneca Releases 'Outdated and Potentially Misleading Data' on Covid-19 Vaccine Trial
PJ Media ^ | 03/23/2021 | Rick Moran

AstraZeneca, a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, must think we Americans are a bunch of ignorant rubes. After the company finally released results from its vaccine’s Stage 3 Trials, U.S. regulators were shocked to discover that the information was “outdated and potentially misleading.”

The rosy picture the company painted of its vaccine on Monday — that it had a 79 percent efficacy against COVID-19 and substantially reduced serious illness — turns out to have been more PR than real.

Stat:

In a statement issued soon after midnight Tuesday morning, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said it had been informed about the data questions by the data and safety monitoring board auditing the trial. DSMBs consist of independent medical experts who review data produced from clinical trials.

“We urge the company to work with the DSMB to review the efficacy data and ensure the most accurate, up-to-date efficacy data be made public as quickly as possible,” NIAID said.

The head of the NIAID, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was at a loss to explain it. “I was sort of stunned,” Fauci said. “The data and safety monitoring board were concerned that the data that went into the press release by AZ was not the most accurate and up-to-date data. That is what the DSMB communicated to AZ in a rather harsh note. Having seen that letter we could not just let it go unanswered.”

AstraZeneca is under enormous pressure following its rollout in Europe, where several EU countries have paused distribution because of some highly publicized illnesses after patients received the vaccine. There is almost certainly no causal connection between the symptoms — which include blood clots — and the vaccine, but in this hypersensitive environment where people are refusing to get vaccinated,

RE: Thank you President Trump!

Think again. Astrazeneca’s vaccine was developed by OXFORD in the UK. It isn’t part of Operation Warp Speed.

Well according to many here on FR, Maderna, Pfizer and JJ vaccines are killing people. Be sure to have a chat with them also.

Last year, Operation Warp Speed contracted for 300 million doses. It was their biggest single bet.

Vaccine follies continue. I don’t deny the virus. I don’t deny anyone to get the shot. I just point out some serious issues with the total Corona calamity and I personally will never be part of the shot show and weep for our nation and its future due to this. That seems to rile up many freepers: a person’s free will and critical thinking.

I don't care if you get a shot or not provided you promise to never infect anyone else.

“I don’t care if you get the shot or not provided you promise to never infect anyone else”.
If the ‘vaccinated’ can still get the infection/ pass it on, how does that work? It’s ‘ok’ for one , but not the other?

The ONLY reason it was said that the vaccinated COULD still infected and COULD still pass it on is due to the lack of data currently to PROVE otherwise so the government must by law error on the side of caution why is that so hard for so many to understand. Now that Israel with no political agenda here in the USA and not being part of some lunatic tinfoil conspiracy does have data with over 600,000+ data points and a further 4 million coming in the next few weeks.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/03/11/pfizer-covid-vaccine-blocks-94percent-of-asymptomatic-infections-and-97percent-of-symptomatic-cases-in-israeli-study.html

For those lacking in reading comprehension skills I’ll give the crayon version. If a person is not symptomatic NOR asymptomatic they are not shading virus and CANNOT possibly infect someone else. There is still debate on even if someone is positive on a PCR if they can infect others at what level of viral load. But that’s irrelevant because if.vaccine makes it so that 94% or more have ZERO detectable virons on a PCR test they cannot infect someone else period full stop.

Using that logic, you shouldn't be allowed to drive a vehicle unless you promise never to harm anyone else while behind the wheel.

Here’s one for you, on vaccines in general, from 2015...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4599698/

Vaccines can and do kill people.

On RARE occasions.

So we still vaccinate.

The problem comes when trust is gone and informed consent is impossible.

Here’s another issue: In NYS, primary care providers are NOT being allowed to distribute vaccinations. So the people who are the most familiar with your medical history are not being allowed to provide the best one for you. You sign up, show up, and get what you’re given.

If you’re elderly, immunocompromised, have other medical issues, then I’m not surprised that there are more deaths and more needless deaths.

BUT THEN THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH.

Meanwhile, an update on NYS. Looks like Albany has finally deigned to allow a small number of primary care providers to distribute. Bets it's only because uptake numbers suck.

Some primary care doctors receiving COVID-19 vaccine allocations from state

No, the analogy would be if I wouldn’t maintain my car, didn’t get insurance and drove on the wrong side of the road. You know, refused to do the basic things known to protect other people.
