Podcasts about astrazeneca's covid

Many in the vaccine-injured community have been told their symptoms—from piercing, constant ringing in their ears to paralysis in their lower body—is due to “anxiety.”Brianne Dressen, a former preschool teacher in Utah, was severely injured after participating in AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial in November 2020. She is the co-chair of React19, the leading non-profit organization aiding those injured by the genetic vaccines.“This has happened to tens of thousands of Americans that I know of—it's likely far more—where patients are met with physicians that are doubtful, unbelieving, and in many cases, just outright dismissive to their patient's complaints. And that really puts the patient in a very vulnerable situation, especially if you have family members that are doubtful of what's actually happening with you… There's some people that have made the ultimate choice to end their suffering,” said Dressen.Dressen's organization, run entirely by volunteers, is working with over 20,000 vaccine-injured Americans to help them get the treatment and support they need and connect them to doctors willing to help them.“We want the injured to be empowered to be able to make their decisions and take ownership of their healing when everything around them—their medical teams, their jobs, their government—has abandoned them and essentially stripped them of that power.”Dressen says the NIH knows a lot more than they let on. After Dressen and her husband repeatedly pled for help, the NIH flew her and others to the NIH to be evaluated, studied, and in some cases, treated.But to this day, the public and the medical community are not being informed about the major neurological injuries that can occur post-vaccination—even though the NIH knows early intervention is key for such autoimmune dysfunction.Follow American Thought Leaders on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmThoughtLeaderTruth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@AmThoughtLeaderGettr: https://gettr.com/user/amthoughtleaderFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanThoughtLeadersGab: https://gab.com/AmThoughtLeaderTelegram: https://t.me/AmThoughtLeader

Richie is joined by Alex Mitchell.Alex Mitchell is about as courageous a man as you're ever likely to meet. In March of 2021, Alex received the first dose of AstraZeneca's Covid-19 jab. Not long after he arrived home, Alex collapsed and was rushed to hospital. He was immediately sent for surgery to remove dozens of blood clots in his body. A few days later, his leg was amputated in order to save his life. His doctors were unequivocal. The Covid shot had induced Vaccine Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia. Alex was very lucky to be alive. Alex tells Richie why he had a Covid jab. He discusses informed consent, apathetic journalists and politicians, Big Pharma's history of putting bad drugs on the market and regulatory bodies that can hardly be described as independent.

Brianne Dressen wanted to do the right thing when she signed up for AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine trials.  She had faith the government would get things right.  Within 24 hours, her health deteriorated to the point that she could no longer work at her beloved pre-school.  In the time since, she has racked up millions — yes millions — of healthcare bills.  And where is AstraZeneca?  Where is the FDA?  Where is the NIH?  Brianne answers all those questions with Michele.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vaccitech (NASDAQ:VACC) CEO Bill Enright joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of the latest clinical developments at the company following a production second quarter, which saw it ending June with cash and cash equivalents of $192.3 million. Enright highlighted interim data from the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm's ongoing Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of VTP-300 in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Vaccitech also recognized further royalty and milestone payments related to the sales of Vaxzevria, AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, which he said have contributed significant non-dilutive capital to support the company's clinical and preclinical programs going forward. "We have cash at least through the end of 2024 if we receive no additional royalty payments," Enright told Proactive. "We'll most likely be able to get well into 2025 with our current cash position."

South Africa's health regulator reported on Thursday a causal link between the death of an individual and Johnson & Johnson's (J&J) Covid-19 vaccine, the first time such a direct link has been made in the country. The person presented with rare neurological disorder Guillain-Barre Syndrome soon after being given J&J's vaccine, after which the person was put on a ventilator and later died, senior scientists told a news conference. "At the time of illness no other cause for the Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) could be identified," Professor Hannelie Meyer said. The person's age and other personal details were not disclosed for confidentiality reasons. Last July, US authorities added a warning to a factsheet for J&J's vaccine saying data suggested there was an increased risk of GBS in the six weeks after vaccination. At the time it noted 100 preliminary reports of GBS in vaccine recipients, including 95 serious cases and one reported death. J&J did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. The company said at the time of the U.S. warning it was in discussions with regulators and the rate of reported cases of GBS in J&J vaccine recipients exceeded the background rate only slightly. "The benefit of vaccination still far outweighs the risk," Boitumelo Semete-Makokotlela, chief executive of the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), told reporters. "In our context we have administered about 9-million (doses) of the Janssen (J&J) vaccine, and this is the first causally linked case of GBS." Europe's medicines regulator last year added GBS as a possible side-effect of AstraZeneca's Covid vaccine which, like J&J's, uses viral vector technology. South Africa's Health Minister Joe Phaahla told Thursday's news conference that as of mid-July there had been just over 6 200 "adverse events" reported to SAHPRA out of the more than 37-million Covid vaccine doses administered in the country, equivalent to 0.017%. Semete-Makokotlela said the regulator had assessed around 160 deaths since the Covid vaccination rollout started but had not seen a causal link to vaccination until now. South Africa has been using shots from J&J and Pfizer in its Covid vaccination campaign. The rollout got off to a slow start due to difficulties securing supplies and protracted negotiations with pharmaceutical companies, but more recently it has been slowed by hesitancy. Around 46% of its adult population of 40-million is now fully vaccinated.

What's UP? On today's episode Laura Sextro, CEO of The Unity Project, has a heartbreaking conversation with Bri Dressen, a previously healthy preschool teacher and mother of two young children who was injured after participating in AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine clinical trial in November 2020. After months of being ignored, she co-founded React-19 - a science-based nonprofit organization, offering financial, physical, and emotional support for those suffering from long-term COVID-19 vaccine adverse events.They talk about the horrible treatment she received from AstraZeneca that led her to facing the NIH, testifying in front of congress, as well as how she is now collaborating with two U.S. Senators to get help for others injured by COVID vaccines.Links for Bri Dressenwww.react19.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/react19org/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@react19.orgTwitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/react19orgLinks for The Unity Project:The Unity Project is a 501c3 non-profit organization that relies on the contributions of our generous supporters to fuel the work we do in this movement.

Workers in South Africa's education sector will not receive their vaccines this week. That's because the United States medicines regulator, the Food and Drug Administration or FDA", has not yet given the go ahead for the Johnson&Johnson jabs to be released. J&J has offered South Africa 480-thousand doses of the vaccine -- a batch with a shelf life of three weeks. The government made a decision to accept the offer and roll out the batch to workers in the education sector. The FDA needs to determine whether the J&J vaccine was contaminated with ingredients of AstraZeneca's COVID shot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - The United States has begun the process of withdrawing all its troops from Afghanistan in line with President Joe Biden's campaign promise of ending forever wars. Last week, the Pentagon deployed additional warplanes to bolster the protection of American and coalition troops during the withdrawal process. Earlier this year, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had called for urgent action in Afghanistan to prevent a "spring offensive by the Taliban" as the 14-month ceasefire window under the Doha agreement, signed in February, last year, headed towards completion.  German health minister Jens Spahn said last week that the country will allow the administration of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine to adults of all ages. The country is setting a target to start vaccinating those aged between 12 and 18 by the end of August. Legislation passed amidst protests last month allows Germany's federal government to impose night-time curfews in areas where cases exceed 100 per 100,000 residents on three consecutive days and even stricter curbs where cases go above 165 per 100,000.  In a significant development for the space tourism industry, Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin announced last week that its space tourism rocket, New Shepard will leave for its first commercial sub-orbital journey on July 20th.

GBP/USD gained traction on Wednesday and built on the overnight bounce from one-week lows. The uptick was solely led by some cross-driven strength stemming from a fall in the EUR/GBP. The debacle around AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccines continues as the old continent is struggling to get jabs into its citizens' arms and even if the crisis is resolved shortly, many European would still refuse this specific inoculation – or perhaps others. The European Medicines Agency is set to announce its verdict on the safety of AZ's immunization on Thursday after cases of blood clots seemed to be correlated with the jabs. Several European leaders hinted that vaccination will likely return. However, a message saying that the benefits of the injections outweigh the risk could do little to alleviate concerns. Support awaits at 1.1870, which was a stepping stone on the way up last week, and that is followed by the 2021 trough of 1.1836. Above 1.1910, the next cap awaits at 1.1950, which held EUR/USD down on Tuesday. GBP/EUR is trading around the key level 1.17 on the back of euro-weakness, the highest level since 24 Feb 2020. A more than one-year high. The upside seems limited ahead of Wednesday's FOMC decision and BoE meeting on Thursday. The dollar index was up 0.1% at 91.925, having risen for three straight sessions on support mainly from elevated U.S. bond yields. USD/JPY was up 0.2% at 109.15, near the nine-month high hit earlier this week, and ahead of the Bank of Japan's two-day policy meeting ending Friday. AUD/USD dropped 0.1% to 0.7736.

More than a dozen countries have paused their rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine, mostly in Europe. Australia isn't among them, and as of Monday the jab will be offered to a pool of more than 6 million people here. But Australians themselves are, in some cases, feeling rattled by the news about the pause overseas. So what's got half of Europe spooked about this one vaccine? And what's the knock-on effect for us?
