After vaccination, blood clots and deaths have been reported, and some European countries have temporarily suspended vaccination of certain parts of the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine.
This is for prevention.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended continuing vaccination, saying there was no evidence of a link between the vaccine and blood clots.

▶ Among the 5 million people who received the AstraZeneca vaccine in Europe, 30 cases of blood clots were reported to the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Austria and Italy discontinued the use of certain manufacturing units of AZ vaccine as a prophylaxis during a causal investigation after some cases of blood clot death occurred in some of the vaccinators.
It is a vaccine with serial numbers’ABV5300′ and’ABV2856′, respectively.
Denmark, where cases of blood clots were reported after vaccination, and no cases of blood clots, were reported, but Norway and Iceland also temporarily suspended AZ vaccination as a precautionary measure.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is currently investigating a causal relationship.
There is no evidence that the vaccine increases the risk of developing blood clots, and the likelihood of a side effect from the vaccine is low.
In addition, vaccinations were advised to continue vaccination, saying that the number of cases of blood clots was not more than the normal rate at which blood clots could occur.

“Currently, there is no indication that vaccination caused the disease, and it has not been listed as a side effect of the AZ vaccine.”]
The British Medicines and Food and Drug Administration (MHRA) shared the same view.

“Thrombosis can occur naturally and is not uncommon. The AZ vaccine is currently administered over 11 million doses across the UK.”]
The BBC also said that about one in every thousand people in the UK each year develops blood clots, and the likelihood of a vaccine problem is low.
On the contrary, experts are concerned that this may not reduce the vaccination rate.

“Looking at reports like this, I’m afraid, “Is there really a problem with the vaccine?” There is not enough evidence to prove the link between AstraZeneca vaccine and’blood clotting. It is important not to make people reluctant to get a vaccine that has proven to be effective in preventing death.”
We need to make sure that people don’t mind vaccinations, but it seems that people’s anxiety has increased from the domestic reports.
Many domestic media reported wrongdoings as if the vaccine had been completely discontinued in certain countries due to side effects.

“Actually, I’m very concerned. Because the vaccine is currently being used in our country…. When delivering cases from other countries, you should clearly point out these parts and report on them….”
▶ Again, this is news related to vaccines.
In Israel, Pfizer vaccination has been shown to be more effective than clinical trials.
Pfizer made this statement in a report that analyzed data on its own vaccinators in Israel from January 17th to the 6th of this month.

“In Israel, where the majority of the population has been vaccinated, we have actually seen 97% of the vaccines and 94% of asymptomatic infections. These incredible numbers give us a clear indicator.”
However, those who did not get the vaccine were as much as 44 times more likely to be infected with COVID-19 symptoms than those who were vaccinated, and 29 times more likely to die.
As supporting the results of Pfizer’s analysis, the Israeli Army (IDF) also declared that the immunity formation rate reached 81%, and declared “to achieve the world’s first collective immunity group.”
South America Brazil has a completely different atmosphere from Israel.

“We are facing the most serious situation since the COVID-19 pandemic. Now Brazil, especially Sao Paulo, is facing the worst health crisis in history.”
As the number of inpatients for COVID-19 in Brazil increases, the share of intensive care units in many cities exceeds 90%, and there is growing concern that the medical system will collapse.
On the 10th, more than 2,000 deaths per day and nearly 80,000 new confirmed cases are pouring in, and the number of deaths waiting for hospitalization is increasing.
The authorities are tightening the blockade, but the public’s low awareness of quarantine, the low vaccination rate, and the addition of mutant viruses are insufficient to prevent the spread.
I am worried that countries may not adversely affect the difficult results of vaccination and quarantine.
It is not just one country that does well, but the Corona 19 crisis, the whole world must gather wisdom and join forces.
▶ In Myanmar, the military’s ruthless violence against citizens against the coup continues.
Human rights group Amnesty has released a number of videos filmed in Yangon and Mandalay over the past week.

Citizens struggle to help a protester who was shot and fell on the street.
It contains terrible scenes that you can’t believe even with your own eyes.
The UN Special Rapporteur in Myanmar said at least 70 people were killed and 2,000 citizens were illegally detained after the military coup.

“The people killed were their fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, husbands and wives. These were teachers, engineers, students, and of varying ages, but more than half of those killed were young generation Z under 25 years old. .”
It also emphasizes the need to cut off the military funds line.

“Myanmar is expected to generate approximately $1 billion in sales this year from its natural gas business. Without (multilateral) sanctions, the illegal military regime in Myanmar could use this money to attack criminal businesses and innocent people.”
Myanmar’s military is not paying attention to the ongoing warnings of the international community.
Rather, he said that the international community seems to be misunderstanding, and that he will transfer the government through the general election next year.
However, citizens of Myanmar are strongly protesting, saying that the reconvening of the general election gives legitimacy to the military coup.
