Fainting on air in announcements of AstraZeneca vaccine withdrawal in Denmark

The official announcements by the Danish government that it will permanently stop the vaccinations with its preparation were completed with an unexpected AstraZeneca, which it subtracts from its overall program.

The head of her national health authority Denmark“This is a reaction to what has happened in recent days, and especially the tragic death after the vaccine,” he told reporters. We now know more than we did a month ago and so we know that there is probably a biological explanation for the thrombosis caused by the AstraZeneca product. “

Tania Eriksen, head of the Danish Medicines Agency, fainted during Brostrom’s speech, with the result that the press conference was temporarily suspended. Ms Eriksen recovered a little later but was taken to hospital for precautionary measures, with initial reports of illness after overwork.

The interview continued with Brosstrom noting that “we took data from the databases of Denmark and Norway and concluded that 1 in 40,000 may have a rare and serious syndrome called VITT and of course it can have very serious complications. We have not been able to limit this syndrome to a specific age group. However, this does not mean that we reject the vaccine. “All vaccines have side effects,” he said, adding: “We do not stop because we are afraid of side effects. We know what the side effects are. We do not reject the vaccine because of it. The potential benefit outweighs the harmful effects of fighting a pandemic. Due to the special situation in Denmark, we continue to supply vaccines without AstraZeneca. Also based on how the vaccine develops, we do not need this vaccine. The decision not to have an effective and approved vaccine was very difficult. But that is what we did in the end. “

The 149,000 Danish citizens who have already taken the first dose with AstraZeneca will be able to take a second dose with another company, according to Tania Eriksen, according to Euronews.

The decision of the authorities practically means a delay of three weeks in the vaccination of the citizens as now the appointments for people over 50 years of age were to start. But this will not happen, as all AstraZeneca vaccines are withdrawn.
