Australia to Phase Out the Use of the AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine Due to Safety Concerns

by Michael Curzon
23 June 2021 1:12 PM

Australia will gradually phase out the use of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine in its national vaccine roll-out, with doses only to be given if requested from October onwards. The decision has been spurred by safety concerns and follows the development of a condition that can cause paralysis and can even be life-threatening shortly after taking the AZ vaccine in at least eight Australians. The Guardian has more.

The Government released a revised planning document on Wednesday outlining how it intended to direct supplies over the rest of the year…

The vaccination document, titled National Vaccination Allocation Horizons, suggests in July and August AstraZeneca will continue to dominate the vaccination program, with up to 2.6 million doses being administered each week, predominantly to those over the age of 60, through state and territory clinics and the primary care network.

But as the vaccination of this age group nears completion, it is anticipated AstraZeneca will be used only “subject to request” from October.

The commonwealth last week announced changed health advice for the AstraZeneca shot restricting it to over-60s because it has been linked to an extremely rare blood clotting condition.

In the “Horizon Two” phase in September, supplies of the Moderna vaccine come on stream, with up to 125,000 doses per week to be made available to the primary care network, the document foreshadows.

By this stage, Pfizer supplies will also be ramping up, with up to 1.3 million doses a week available, up from the 750,000 a week available in July and August.

The Pfizer supplies are expected to increase again by the end of the year to between 1.7 million and 2.3 million doses a week, as the Government races to meet its pledge to allow every Australian access to a vaccine by the end of 2021.

Let’s just add this apt recent comment from Aus again, here:

“It turns out, we were wrong, they were right and all of those people who were VACCINE HESITANT ARE now looking really REALLY SMART.“

Best get used to that feeling, fellas.

All the focus on the safety concerns around AZ.
Any focus on the mRNA safety concerns?

Exactly. If you wanted to turn folk away from the non mRNA and towards the mRNA this is how you’d do it…slowly… such that everyone getting boosters would go for the latter.

I’d be more concerned about mRNA than AZ. Both novel but AZ a bit more traditional.

Doctors For Covid Ethics state that the AZ jabs are riskier in the short term but the mRNA jabs are riskier in the long term. Essentially you will develop resistance to the viral vector which tricks its way into the cells which reduces its potency upon repeated injection.There is no such resistance to the mRNA injections. They will have a 100% success rate every time they are injected with no resistance. The mRNA gets in to cells all over the body. That’s one of the main issues. Nobody seems to know how long the production of spike protein lasts either, seems to be a grey area. The bottom line is it’s all bad and there is no excuse for forcing this crap on people when they are suppressing and actively smearing safe and effective drug treatments in order to “get jabs into arms”. COVID Vaccine Necessity, Efficacy and Safety (a very good document) https://doctors4covidethics.org/covid-vaccine-necessity-efficacy-and-safety/ 6. Initial experience might suggest that the adenovirus-derived vaccines (AstraZeneca/Johnson & Johnson) cause graver adverse effects than the mRNA (Pfizer/Moderna) vaccines. However, upon repeated injection, the former will soon induce antibodies against the proteins of the adenovirus vector. These antibodies will then neutralize most of the vaccine… Read more »

thanks [insert name] for info!

I always assumed the mRNA would be more ropey. Never before got a mRNA vaccine licensed. The only way they can get them out is by skipping trials

“At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, no mRNA drug or vaccine had been licensed for use in humans.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_vaccine

this is interesting too…

Thanks Steve I’m pretty sure I read it before but that Moderna article is very good. The last line is chilling though

“We have a chance to transform medicine, and we won’t quit until we are done and we have impacted patients.”

They’ve impacted patients alright so mission accomplished there! I wonder what the fourth “secret” vaccine they were cooking up mentioned in the article?

Wikipedia quote is interesting, a drop of truth in a sea of lies. This might interest you – looking at the magnetism being observed in the vaccinated. I found another good piece on this but I’ve lost it will post when I find it. This is fascinating because the nano technology which could produce this effect does exist. Hmmm

Myocarditis is becoming a big issue in the US where the Pfizer (mRNA) vaccine is the main one offered. As far as I’m concerned, they all have big risks since they were rushed through with virtually nothing known about long-term effects.

It’s very important to keep on and on about the fact that governments all over the world, captured, hostile to their own citizens governments like the nefarious 5 Eyes governments have done everything in their power to suppress and smear safe and effective drug treatments. It is sick and criminal in the most profound way to know that after making all this noise and creating all this destruction, HMG and co has denied citizens access to safe and effective cheap off patent drugs in order to pave the way for the lethal maiming experimental injections. This is something the masses really need to be informed about repeatedly. If they are their loved ones end up in hospital with Covid they will NOT get the best treatment because the availability of these drugs and treatments threaten the “emergency use authorisation” they have criminally obtained for the jabs. Their government wants them to inject something which might kill them or might leave them disabled for life instead of taking harmless and highly effective drug treatments and preventions for the vulnerable. It’s sick and this has the power to wake people up because it is provable and true and really brings home the… Read more »

The “problem” with not having many “cases” of COVID out in the community is it’s a lot harder to hide the side-effects of the vaccines, or blame any deaths or illnesses on COVID.

Just imagine the headlines if some county lines dealer was knocking out pills that caused Guillane-Barre Syndrome and blood clots and left people disabled and blinded. It would be all over the news. But when it’s some corporate entity who have been given the green light by the war criminals in Westminster, look away, move along nothing to see here. And the fact they have laws against growing your own herbal medicine ie cannabis. These people are evil, no other explanation for it. What an insane time in history this is.

Just a couple of months in and already we are seeing the ‘safe and effective’ narrative about these vaccines crumble – potential signs of what could possibly be the onset of the biggest catastrophe in the history of the world … ever. I sincerely hope I’m wrong because I have good friends and and family who have all had their jabs twice and are potentially looking at a third.

I usually travel abroad about three times a year – one of those trips is to see family who I have not seen for two years now due to restrictions – but I have refused the jabs so far preferring instead to take Mike Yeadon’s advice in a video interview he did a couple of months ago which was to wait, bide your time a see what happens before accepting the jab offer – I’m glad I took his advice because if I had had my jabs then right now I would be a very worried person.

This news does not look good.

I have said to everyone I know (who will actually listen to me) and who is considering the vaccine to please wait until after the winter and see what transpires. I have a bad feeling about it all. They are already covering their tracks by predicting a heavy outbreak of flu this winter.

My local hospital serves a population of around 150,000.it is currently only able to take emergencies because it is running at capacity. This has suddenly happened and they’ve had single figures admitted with covid for some weeks.
I’m wondering if it’s side effects or ADE?
I have someone on the inside looking at figures for me, if it was ADE what sort of thing would they be likely to put on reason for admissions or death certs? (I was thinking flu, pneumonia or antibiotic resistant infection but may be way off beam here).

I doubt it’s ADE as the symptoms would be the same as Covid since ADE gives the virus an easier pathway to attack the host. Vaccine injuries would be my guess since there are many varieties !

Yes although there is a theoretical possibility that the vax would make infection by one of the other endemic coronaviruses worse. In this case you’d test negative for Covid. No reason to think this is happening but worth watching out for.

But Devi Sridhar, Professor of Anthropology, told us that the vaccines were “100% safe” on the BBC’s Newsround.

And the BBC would NEVER allow lies to be told to children.

Haven’t Australia just painted themselves into a corner? The TGA, their equivalent yellow card system notes 303 deaths from the vaccine. The vaccine rollout started late February, (approx 4 months) Their total Covid-19 deaths currently stands at 910, (approx 15 months) if they have 300 deaths every four months from the vaccine……you see where I’m going here? Do they keep stabbing and killing or what?

Deaths is the wrong metric as the vaccines are killing much younger people. Completely different ballpark.

Even in UK vaccines may not be ahead if you count QALYs, with about 77 young and middle-aged people now dead from the AZ vax.

Of course vaccines could easily have been ahead if they had been used responsibly, i.e. only in older age groups.

Sorry, I’ve thought about this and don’t agree at all. My point is that there is a real possibility that the vaccine deaths will be bigger than the Covid deaths in less than a year. Do you think the public will care about the ages of the deceased? Do you think they’ll suddenly start analysing the data?
I don’t think so.
Qualy years don’t figure in the sheeples minds at all! Ditto looking at data and actual scientific fact! If they did anybody under 60 would be thinking twice about getting jabbed wouldn’t they?

My money is on ‘stabbing and killing’, as you pithily put it. The Covid-crazy politicians in Australia now have so much political capital, and their health bureaucrats have so much reputational standing, invested in ‘Zero Covid’ that they can never let go of the narrative that Covid must be ‘eliminated’ because they fear that even just one ‘case’ which goes rogue in the community, causing an ‘outbreak’, will see them mauled by the press whilst their approval ratings amongst the population they have traumatised about the virus will tank. Mass vaccination, compulsory-by-default thanks to the Vaccine Passport, is the logical end-point of the damaging Zero Covid fantasy. Any vaccine-caused mortality will be blithely waved off as ‘death by coincidence’.   Government leaders are also so addicted to the political thrill and public adoration they get from being ‘successfully’ at the helm of a crisis that they can not politically back down from Zero Covid and the ‘vaccine’ narrative. Their in-house public heath officials and technocrats are also sucking up the popular adulation and do not fancy a retreat to bureaucratic obscurity any time soon (South Australia’s Covid Czar was awarded a gong in the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours list, and her… Read more »

They are prepared to continue to give the AZ version until October, but it only becomes a risk if administered after that date. And still the masses won’t question. The governments of our world know exactly what they are doing.
