There seems to be a growing number of EU countries halting the vaccination programme.
Let's hope more countries do this with the amount of reactions people are reporting.
If this was any other vaccine for another type of virus tested on a far smaller population size, the human trial would have stopped immediately and taken back into the lab as they have done with past vaccines.

Maybe it would be better suited for the young population groups

The EU has made a complete hash of the vaccination programme. They, the EU, has picked on AstraZeneca, both through spreading false rumours and acting like the Mafia. The EU is trying to divert attention. Picking on a British company is them trying to be clever.
The AZ vaccine has been administered millions of times in the UK. No significant problems reported.

Yup, I had my first Covid jab earlier this week; AstraZeneca was given as it's the one with the least risk of side effects or allergic reaction.
There's been one death out of 15m+ AZ vaccines, there's no evidence the death or couple of dozen clot cases are due to the vaccine as the incidence rate is lower than the normal background rate.

Who has "found"? Blood clots are not as uncommon as people think, so this is probably coincidence give the very small numbers involved - 30 clots of which a couple have been fatal with >5 million doses in the EU. I wonder what the normal rate of blood clots is? Significantly more doses of AZ given in the UK and nothing reported.
The EU are just being over-cautious and trying to find reasons why their vaccination programme is so poor. Crass politics.

There does seem to be some anomalies regarding this even though there have been relatively few reports. In Norway one health care worker in her 30's died about a week after receiving the vaccine. As far as I know, it's not confirmed that she indeed died from blod clotting. Three other health care workers, noted as relatively young, are in serious condition due to blod clotting. These have also received the vaccine. No underlying conditions as far as they have told us pleebs.
Ok, so this could be any number of things (like birth control pills etc. for women). But there seems to be a combination of blod clotting, skin haemorrhages and a low amount of platelets. This combination of conditions plus their young age has caused some alarm. But if this actually does have a connection with AstraZeneca then why aren't more people dropping?
I'm not trying to sway anyone either way here, just reporting what's in the news. Some doctors are quite worried. Hopefully this has nothing to do with the vaccines and we can continue on our merry way.
