AstraZeneca was the first pharmaceutical laboratory to launch a vaccine on the market at the end of 2020, a year after the appearance of the virus.

    Huh any info about why they’ve requested this? The article doesn’t go into very much detail

        But then why pull authorisation?

        Is this some kind of patent thing where they “destroy” it before it becomes public domain?

          They don’t want people using an ineffective product (new strains) just because they have surplus of it that then hurts their public image

            Or they’d like countries that have a reserve be forced to abandon that supply and buy fresh stock.

      They recently admitted in court filing that their VAX does in fact have side effects. Presumably related to this.

      They also covered these risks when bringing VAX to market.

      We really need to find who did this and serve them some rope.

        If you’re going to advocate murdering people, you could at least make a token effort to be factually correct about why.

        None of your anti-vax, end of the world conspiracies came true, the date just keeps getting pushed further out. It’s time to shake off your cult programming, apologise to your family and move on with your life – something millions of people don’t get to do because of anti-vax idiocy.

          Corporation literally engaged in criminal misconduct to get drug approved for the market. But you are here defending their conduct?

          Fucking bootlickers, learn to think for yourself.

        Does it matter what they admit? These companies always wait for many years to admit anything. By then the damage to people is done.

        Of course one could argue that if everyone would vaccinate, almost everyone would be better off, except people with side effects. But I can absolutely understand why people don’t want to risk being that person getting side effects. There is no help to be had if you are that person.

          If they admit in court then yes, it will have legal consequences as we see here. They are rushing to reduce their litigation risk going forward. Likely bribing politician and health officials in various markets as we speak.

          Will they be punished for misconduct? We know that these people can kill whistleblowers and jack shit anyone will do about it…
