This should be the headline but that wouldn’t sell

The thing is actual bad news is suppressed. How many people knew that the AstraZennica vaccine is only 10-22% effective against the beta variant of Covid 19, and that countries have had to send shipments of the AZ vaccine back because of this? Probably no one, unless you religiously follow my comments on here. Like legitimate terrible scenarios have happened, but it’s actually scary for the media to report on that instead of fear mongering over nothing, so they won’t, in order to keep the illusion up.

That’s not why they sent back shipments, at least not everyone, they sent them back because everyone is spooked by the side effects, which was anything but suppressed. If anything all media in Europe was screaming about them 24/7 and then complaining that people don’t get vaccinated.

This is blatantly false for South Africa. We sent back the AZ vaccines before there was any news fear mongering of side effects, because the AZ vaccine was only found to be 10-22% effective against the South African beta variant. Like again, you probably didn’t hear about this because no one cares about the global south, and because when something actually bad happens the media won’t report on it.

Eh, it’s not a headline, just eyes are drawn to 600 % figure, when it’s likely 200±40 percent, from more populated statistics (from the most affected areas, but still), over all uk it’s 40 percent increase, which is kinda bad for their vaccination rate
