French President Macron "AstraZeneca Vaccine is 'Quasi-Ineffective' For The Over-65s"

31/01/2021

Emmanuel Macron asserted that the viral vector vaccine Oxford-AstraZeneca was "quasi-ineffective"
for over-65s

His office confirmed "What we can tell you officially today is that the early results have not been encouraging concerning AstraZeneca,"

Macron said there was 'very little information' available for the vaccine developed by the British-Swedish company and Oxford University.

Germany’s vaccine committee later concluded that a lack of sufficient data meant the jab should only be given to people aged 18-64.

What is EU’s AstraZeneca vaccine chaos dispute really about?

The vaccine doesn't have the coronavirus in it — instead, it's a type of chimpanzee-originated common cold that normally infects chimpanzees that can instruct human cells to make a coronavirus protein.

The solution is meant to help overcome the pre-existing immunity to a human adenovirus but it will also be the first time in the history of vaccines that an alien non-human chimpanzee virus will be used as a vector to produce a vaccine.

There are no long-term studies to demonstrate this technology’s safety.

There are also concerns related to known facts that many human diseases are caused by animal viruses.

The version of virus used in the AstraZeneca vaccine is found in Chimpanzees
