British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, which manufactures Corona drugs, has admitted for the first time that its Covid-19 vaccine can cause serious side effects. AstraZeneca admitted in the UK High Court that the Covid-19 vaccine could cause side effects such as thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). Due to thrombocytopenia syndrome, blood clots start forming in the body or platelets in the body start decreasing rapidly. Due to formation of blood clots in the body, the possibility of brain stroke or cardiac arrest increases.
AstraZeneca admits side effect allegations
AstraZeneca had accepted the allegations of side effects of the vaccine before the UK High Court in February this year. But the company also presented its arguments in favor of the vaccine. Let us tell you that the company sells this vaccine worldwide under the names Covishield and Vaxjaveria.
What did AstraZeneca say before the UK High Court?
A British man named Jamie Scott has filed a lawsuit against AstraZeneca. Scott says that he is suffering from thrombocytopenia syndrome due to the company's corona vaccine. He became a victim of brain damage. More than a dozen people have gone to court against the company's Corona vaccine. These people allege that they have faced side effects after taking the vaccine. These people have demanded compensation. What did AstraZeneca say in court on the side effects of the vaccine? It is very important to know this.
1) AstraZeneca has said in a legal document filed in the court that the Corona vaccine developed in collaboration with Oxford University may have side effects. These side effects may be thrombocytopenia syndrome. But this is very rare.
2) AstraZeneca told the court that, but it is also important to know that thrombocytopenia syndrome can occur even in case of not getting the corona vaccine. In such a situation, it is not right to say that people are struggling with this syndrome after taking the vaccine.
3) The company says that in many independent studies, this vaccine has proved to be very effective in fighting corona. In such a situation, it is important to look at these studies before reaching any conclusion.
4) The company believes that side effects of the vaccine are extremely rare. The company said that patient safety is our top priority. Our medicines meet appropriate standards and we ensure the safe use of all medicines, including vaccines.
5) The company told the court that the clinical trials of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine and its acceptance around the world have shown that the benefits of a large-scale vaccination program outweigh the risks of potential side effects of the vaccine.
6) The company says that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the lives of 60 lakh people have been saved worldwide with the help of the vaccine.
7) AstraZeneca says it is concerned about the conditions of people claiming various problems after taking the vaccine. But we still stand by our claim that side effects may occur only in very rare cases.
Let us tell you that AstraZeneca in collaboration with Serum Institute of India (SII) has developed Covishield in Pune, India. Since Corona, sudden deaths of people have become common across the country. In such a situation, the Corona vaccine started being viewed with suspicion. But now it remains to be seen what will be the next action in the court after this admission of AstraZeneca.
