Covid 19 Vaccine maker AstraZeneca admitted the side effects.

What has Covid 19 vaccine maker AstraZeneca admitted in the British court about the side effects?

AstraZeneca accepted the allegations of Covishield vaccine side effects before the UK High Court in February this year. But the company has also put forward its arguments in favor of the Covid 19 vaccine.

British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, which makes the Corona drug, has admitted for the first time that its Covid 19 vaccine can have serious side effects. AstraZeneca admitted in the UK High Court that the vaccine can cause side effects like thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS).

Thrombocytopenia syndrome causes blood clots in the body or platelets in the body to start falling rapidly. Due to blood clots in the body, the chances of brain stroke or Cardiac Arrest increase.

Indian company Serum Institute of India produced this vaccine in the country under a license from AstraZeneca and it was not only used in India’s Covid 19 vaccination campaign but was also exported to many countries of the world. Apart from Covishield, this covid 19 vaccine was also sold in many countries under the brand name Vaxjeveria. This case against AstraZeneca has been filed by Jamie Scott, who suffered brain damage after taking this vaccine. Many families also complained about the side effects of this vaccine in the court.

AstraZeneca accepted the allegations of the side of the covid 19 vaccine before the UK High Court in February this year. But at the same time, the company also presented its arguments in favor of the vaccine.

What did AstraZeneca say before the UK High Court?

A man named Jamie Scott from Britain has filed a case against AstraZeneca. Scott says that due to the company’s coronavirus vaccine Covishield, he is suffering from the problem of thrombocytopenia syndrome. He had become a victim of brain damage.

More than a dozen people have moved the court against the company’s Covid 19 Vaccine. These people allege that they have faced side effects after taking the Covid 19 Vaccine. These people have demanded compensation. In such a situation, what did AstraZeneca say in the court about the side effects of the Covishield Vaccine?

It is very important to know this:-

1. AstraZeneca has said in the legal document filed before the court that the coronavirus vaccine prepared in collaboration with the University of Oxford can cause side effects. These side effects can be like thrombocytopenia syndrome. But these are very rare.
2. AstraZeneca told the court that it is also important to know that Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) can occur even in the absence of a coronavirus vaccine. In such a situation, it is not correct to say that people are suffering from this syndrome after getting the vaccine.
3. The company says that in many independent studies, this vaccine is very effective in dealing with corona. In such a situation, it is important to look at these studies before reaching any conclusion.
4. The company believes that the side effects of the vaccine are extremely rare. The company said that patient safety is our top priority. Our medicines have met the appropriate standards and we have ensured the safe use of all medicines including the vaccine.
5. The company told the court that the clinical trials of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine and its acceptance worldwide show that large-scale vaccination programs have benefited, which reduces the risk of potential side effects of the vaccine.
6. The company says that 6 million lives have been saved worldwide with the help of the vaccine during the Covid-19 epidemic.
7. AstraZeneca says that they are concerned about the condition of people claiming many types of problems after getting the vaccine. But we still stand by our claim that its side effects can appear only in very rare cases.

Let us tell you that AstraZeneca along with Serum Institute of India (SII) had prepared Covishield in Pune, India. Since Corona, incidents of people dying have suddenly become common across the country. In such a situation, the Corona vaccine started being viewed with suspicion. But now after this confession of AstraZeneca, what turn will the further proceedings take in the court? Everyone’s eyes will be on this.
