• Germany might have messed up their vaccination program. They have hundreds of thousands of
    AstraZeneka doses available because people don't show up. There are reports of severe reactions to the vaccine.

    At the ambulance service in Dortmund around a quarter of the employees had to report sick after the vaccination. In several hospitals in Lower Saxony, vaccinations with the AstraZeneca vaccine were temporarily stopped on Tuesday. An unusually large number of employees had previously had vaccine reactions.

    I wonder if that is a placebo effect after the false report of the Handelsblatt and the news
    about South Africa stopping the vaccinations?

  • Was just reading about this. Fucking hell. Stoking uncertainty about vaccines in the middle of a pandemic, providing fuel for anti-vaxxers, to score political points. What could go wrong? It'll be interesting to see if there's similar issues in France.

  • Ah yes, I've been reading about that over the last few days, too.

    Vaccine nationalism, what could possibly go wrong?

  • Can't see the spiegel link, so are they a valid news source now? Any idea what the vaccine reactions are? If it is nocebo/hysteria, then it is fucked. How fucked we will see.
