British AstraZeneca vaccine fiasco in continental Europe: Germans fear vaccination

February 28 2021 37

In Germany, a substantial surplus of the British vaccine AstraZeneca has formed, as citizens are afraid of being vaccinated with it, writes the German magazine Der Spiegel.

The heads of government of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony proposed making the resulting "excess" doses available to everyone. There are too many refuseniks in priority vaccination groups. The authorities of these federal states want the vaccine not to lie idle in storage places, but to be used with benefit by other people who do not want to wait for the turn.

In Germany, as in other countries in continental Europe, the AstraZeneca vaccine was recommended for people under the age of 65. However, not everything is calm in the "younger" groups either. The fact is that, unlike the American Pfizer vaccine, AstraZeneca is less effective and has a greater risk of adverse reactions.

As of February 25, 2021, only 239 thousand doses of AstraZeneca vaccine were used in Germany out of 1,4 million doses available.

No bottle should lie or be thrown away, because every vaccinated person receives protection from COVID-19 for themselves and for everyone

- said the head of the government of Bavaria Markus Seder.

Colleagues fully agree with him: Winfried Kretschmann (Baden-Württemberg) and Michael Kretschmer (Saxony). They are confident that priority is needed, but when there is a vaccine shortage. There is no shortage now. Therefore, it is important to vaccinate those who wish, summed up the media from Germany.

Note that the fiasco in Germany is being watched with great interest by the residents of Ukraine, a country that has refused the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. The interest is explained quite simply: the Ukrainian authorities approved the use of the CoviShield vaccine. It was developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, but manufactured in India under license. Therefore, the concern of Ukrainians can be understood, because they are destined to be vaccinated with a little studied drug, and 500 thousand doses have already been delivered to Kiev.

    Why are the rates of vaccination in the Russian Federation so low? More than 6% of the population has already been vaccinated in Estonia. In the Russian Federation, this number is about 4%. Looks like it is necessary not to advertise Sputic V, but to really treat YOUR people. And everyone is "treated".

This vaccine (Astra) has shown poor efficacy against the mutated virus. In particular, against the Australian version of B.1.351, it turned out to be generally useless (just like Pfizer, by the way - against the English mutant B.1.1.7)
The link, to the positive effect, of these, so to speak, "vaccines", in terms of mitigating the course of the disease towards a mild form, does the social environment, in fact, SOOO (!) A disservice:

a mild course of the disease is, in fact, an asymptomatic form.
And this means that such a "vaccinated", even without knowing that he is ill, continues to go to work, to visit, to public places as usual, continuing to "carry" this mutated virus to the people.

And it's good if this "people", too, at least with this "junk" is vaccinated. And if not?
Those who are not vaccinated will not be able to count on even a mild form.

AstraZeneca launched vaccine production for 27 EU countries, Germany has already agreed to jointly build a laboratory for the production of AstraZeneca. Sputnik V is supplied to Belarus, Argentina, Bolivia, Serbia, Algeria, Palestine, Venezuela, Paraguay, Turkmenistan, the United Arab Emirates and Hungary. that is, countries that are unable to buy other vaccines either financially or politically.

  Yes, yes .. heard the ringing, but we don't know where he is. Yes?)
  
  I'll try to expand your narrow-minded horizons:
  
  The German branch of the Russian company R-Pharm, namely R-Pharm Germany GmbH, located in Bavaria in the town of Illertissen, has been releasing a joint vaccine called Sputnik-AstraZeneca since the beginning of February.
  This is a compromise that the Russians were able to agree to in order to start production of the Russian "Sputnik V" under such an intricate name. Sputnik V itself is still awaiting official “European admission”.
  As soon as this approval is obtained, R-Pharm will continue to release the "satellite" under its real name.

Strange as it may seem, but in the EU the level of vaccination as a percentage of the total population is twice as high as in the Russian Federation. Drawing a conclusion from the article, we can assume that everyone who wanted to be grafted there already.

  Maybe it is. And what's so strange about that? Would you, personally, like to be a guinea pig and experience the unpredictable side effects of a time-tested vaccine?
  
  in the EU, the level of vaccination as a percentage of the total population is two times higher than in the Russian Federation.
  
  2,5% versus 1,2% is also not particularly impressive.)
  A real significant percentage of vaccinated, today shows only two countries: Israel and the UAE. Well, Americans can also have a "number".

    Those who do not want to be vaccinated are still alive and I have an opinion. And those who are already at the cemetery no longer have an opinion or a voice.
    Now count how many died without being vaccinated and those who died by being vaccinated? In Estonia, one vaccinated and 630 unvaccinated died. So who should I trust?
    Or did you not teach at school how many people died out in the old days when there were no vaccines at all?
    Now I listen to BFM. In Russia, according to them, in general, people do not want to be vaccinated, although it is easy to be vaccinated, there are NO queues. ... How is this to be understood? Or, for the sake of propaganda, one should start saying that like "The Russians don't want to be vaccinated with Sputnik V?"

      To begin with, as a person who has some relation to medicine (directly to epidemiology), in no case am I opposed to vaccination.
      
      I just voiced public opinion. Here's how the media explain it:
      
      ... the vaccination process in Russia is slow for a number of reasons, one of which is the reluctance of the population.
      
      There can be many reasons for reluctance. And the general mistrust of Russians in vaccines as such, and the absence of a real fear of the "corona" - unlike the United States and the EU, we have neither such a number of deaths, nor such a strict quarantine. Only 56% of Russians are, in principle, afraid of contracting the coronavirus.
      
      https://m.vz.ru/world/2021/3/4/1087950.html
      
      In my opinion, quite an objective opinion.
      
      With regard to the side effects of these new and, for quite objective reasons, not tested for a sufficient time vaccines: this is actually a big deterrent. You can, as you say, die without being vaccinated, or you can survive, but, for example, remain crippled for life. The choice, of course, is yours.

        I would like to, but science is becoming more and more a "means of production" (all over the world).
        
        It turns out that being just sick, and not healthy, you bring money to those for whom this "science" works.

        You do not follow the "logic of our communication" well. It was not by chance that I gave you a link that you apparently ignored, but it says, for example, this:
        
        Some Russians are not vaccinated with the very good Sputnik V vaccine only because in a month or two another one, developed by the Chumakov Institute (relatively speaking, a classic type of vaccine), will be available. Informed citizens, doctors and even employees of foreign diplomatic missions are waiting for her.
        
        You have an amazing ability to speak without hearing your opponent (like a black grouse on a current).
