Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

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?
