Canada has paused its Astra Zeneca under 55s roll out because of the risk of blood clots. This is the second time since mid March that blood clots have been associated with A.Z.
Unlike us the bulk of Canada's supply which is Pfizer & Modena with a small fraction of A.Z, Australia has the opposite
Lancet remarks that AZ is good for 3rd world countries because: -its cheap -its easily storable and distributable because it doesn't need freezing
How 3rd country is Aus? Perhaps our Government has 3rd world attitudes ..eh?
When I inquired today from Queensland Health why Pfizer was not available for the over 70s (class 1b) I was told that AZ was the only available brand...take it or leave it.
The lady added that AZ was made in Aus as if that compensated for qualities that did not measure up to Pfizer or Modena.
Over 70s, particularly those with Arterial Fibrillation (AF) are more prone to blood clotting than others and the over 70s have the highest incidence of AF by far.
The question is the over 70s being sold a pup to save the Morrison Government money because the Pfizer shot costs 5 times that of the AZ ? IMO, yes !
