Denmark Remains “Uncertain” About Saftey of AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine

by Michael Curzon
25 March 2021 4:03 PM

Denmark has extended its suspension of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine for three weeks, while officials continue to investigate reports that it causes blood clots. The country initially halted its use of the vaccine on March 11th, along with a host of other countries which have since decided to resume their AZ jab rollouts following the European Medicines Agency’s announcement that it is “safe and effective”. Sky News has the story.

On March 11th, Denmark joined Norway, Austria, Italy and Iceland to suspend the use of the vaccine after reports of blood blots.

Originally the rollout of the coronavirus jab was paused for 14 days as a precautionary measure but Danish officials said on March 25th that this has been extended by three weeks as they conducted their own investigations. …

“Right now, we believe that our basis for making a final decision on the further use of the Covid vaccine by AstraZeneca is too uncertain,” Soeren Brostroem, head of the Danish Health Agency, said.

He said: “Many studies have been launched, but we do not yet have any conclusions. That is why we have decided to extend the break.”

Hesitancy remains due to suspicion that the AZ jab may be linked to “very rare blood clot cases”.

The Danish Health and Medicines Authority took the decision to stop using the jab after reports that a 60 year-old woman died with blood clots in several parts of her body a week after she received the vaccine.

A second person died in Demark after getting the jab, but health authorities said that they have no evidence the vaccine was responsible for either death.

The decision “was made on the basis of presumed side effects”, Tanja Erichsen of the Danish Medicines Agency said.

“I would like to emphasise that I am not talking about ordinary blood clots,” Ms Erichsen said.

“It is not about blood clots in the arms, legs and lungs.

“It can’t be ruled out that there is a connection between the vaccine and the very rare blood clot cases.”

A recent survey of 1,053 Danes suggests that, regardless of the result of these further tests, concerns about the vaccine are now widespread in Denmark. Far more Danes would decline to get an AstraZeneca Covid vaccine than would refuse to get a Covid jab altogether, showing that hesitancy is not simply the product of general vaccine scepticism. Reuters reports:

One in three Danes would decline to get a Covid shot using AstraZeneca’s vaccine, local media outlets TV 2 and Politiken reported late on Wednesday, citing a recent survey. …

The survey, conducted by Megafon among 1,053 persons, showed 33% of Danes would decline to get a shot with AstraZeneca’s vaccine. However, only 7% would decline regardless of which Covid vaccine they were offered.

The Sky News report is worth reading in full.

“Because it was his own staff association that was taking action against him, they would not fund any legal advice or action in support of his defence…“

…Straight out of the Franz Kafka playbook diligently followed by yet another captured institution – Add the Police Federation to the long list of unions and professional bodies adept at representing themselves, but less inclined to represent their members.

The irony is that I’d bet good money they wouldn’t have sacked him if he’d not been white. I know that had he been ‘BAME’ he’d hardly have been likely to have made these comments in the first place but it’s now abundantly clear that as long as the racism is geared towards white people ( by coloured people or other whites, shamefully ) then it’s all good, because nowadays it’s repackaged as ”positive discrimination” most of the time, and that’s acceptable, according to Clown World logic. But whistleblowers/dissidents must be quashed and silenced at all costs. A tale as old as time.

It would be remiss of me not to conclude that the little khant’s brown fingers are all over this. And the envelopes too.

I think the Khant would ethnically cleanse London of white people if he could.

Banned from standing is the crucial point here. They don’t dare let the members decide whether what he did or said merits dismissal. I’m sure whoever made this decision claims to believe in “democracy”.

The members should leave the federation.

I think we all know what ”anti-racist” is code for nowadays, don’t we?

”£60k for an “Anti-Racist Practice Lead” at Norfolk County Council.

As a Norfolk MP, I am calling on @NorfolkCC
to dump this poisonous role.

End the ideological rot and focus on delivering efficient services for my constituents.

We don’t want, or need, this political garbage.”

If only he could lead Reform but then that is Nigel Farage Limited which has just taken cash from a former Tory funder who is a Nigerian born Lebanese muslim. Talk about shitting on your support base.

All roads lead to Marxism in today’s woketastic Clown World, and there appears to be little available in the way of an antidote;

”Europe has genuflected to Islam while America has bent the knee to multiculturalism; both are arguably the same. The engine is Marxism, and we’re seeing that what can’t be won at the ballot box is doing amazingly well in the streets and growing in power and acceptance in our courts.
Marxism is more than a textbook definition; it is an always morphing state of mind with only one defining quality: the subservience of the individual to the State and/or an authoritarian that knows best. Whether people call themselves progressive, leftist, anarchist, socialist, or communist, among other names, all are ideologies that seek to control people through whatever narrative serves them best.

Today, that narrative is multiculturalism, a cultural reworking of economic Marxism. The goal is to restrict individuals’ ability to think and act in their best interest in favor of the imperial “they,” with few knowing who actually pulls the strings (visualize Biden’s Trojan Horse presidency).
The connective tissue of multiculturalism uniformly weaves a misleading tale of caring for the downtrodden and those who, for whatever reason, aren’t enjoying being part of a country of free and self-reliant people. Part of that connective tissue is incipient hatred for the successful, especially independent thinkers and entrepreneurs. We see this vividly play out in violent and illogical demonstrations on our campuses and streets by uneducated young people led by professional agitators.

The beauty of the left’s hatred is that it never has to be based on provable truths; it just must be believed, much like any other religion that demands faith over provable fact. While not a religion per se, it takes on many of the same trappings, fooling weak and uneducated minds with popular narratives in place of actual knowledge and truth.”

So it reduces to the Police Federation Boss being sacked after having the courage to tell the truth that is, in any case, clear for all to see. British society, employers, institutions, as well as Policing, are rife with precisely the dynamic that he so well describes.

If you live in a British city and you aren’t concerned about self-defence ten you are ignoring reality. The use of knives has increased dramatically and will increase a lot more in the near future. Different mindset when you have to assume that everyone is tooled up.

Through a present red wine haze I seem to remember in the run up to my retirement from the Met a whispering campaign to set up an alternative to the Met Federation.

There are two main reasons to join the Federation; legal representation should the sh1t hit the fan, and secondly for some of the financial benefits that come with membership (discounts at certain retailers, investment plans, and such like).

Were I still in the Job, I would absolutely consider that alternative because I wouldn’t want to send another penny to the ar5ehole5 at the official Federation.

Who actually sacked him?
Did all of the members hold a ballot?

As I understand it, the “rank and file”members like and support Mr Prior and they had no say in the decision to sack him, are they wrong?

Perhaps the 30,000 members could grow a backbone and withdraw their membership and subs?

The Federation should represent its members so the Federation should support whoever is elected by the members, and not ban someone from running for election.

Unless they are not interested in representing their members and are pushing an ideology.

Every institution is captured. This is the danger of consolidating great power into the hands of a few. For the weak, offices of governance is a draw to power they would be incapable of achieving on their own merits alone. The solution is for freedom loving people to contest appointment to these offices and drive the scumbags out.
