Denmark to share AstraZeneca Covid vaccines with poorer nations after declaring jabs too dangerous for Danes – WHO

The Danish Health Authority is exploring sending its AstraZeneca Covid vaccines to poorer nations, despite flagging the jab as having a “real risk of severe side effects,” according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The WHO’s European head, Hans Kluge, revealed the plan on Thursday, a day after Denmark became the first country on the continent to permanently scrap the jabs from its vaccine rollout amid an investigation into the potential side effect of blood clots.

The plan to share the vaccines with poorer nations has not been finalized, and Denmark has not announced specific details, but Kluge said, “the ministry of foreign affairs of Denmark is ready to, or looking already into options” for, distributing the jabs to countries in need.

Denmark’s health officials announced the decision to stop using the drug on Wednesday, declaring that it was due to “a possible link between very rare cases of unusual blood clots, bleeding, low blood platelets counts” and the vaccine, warning “there is a real risk of severe side effects.”

The Danish plan comes days after the WHO warned that the pandemic is at a “critical point,” despite vaccine rollouts in wealthier countries, as cases are “growing exponentially” due to a spike in infections in poorer nations.

Laying out their concerns, WHO official Maria Van Kerkhove blamed the failure to equally distribute vaccines, citing how jabs “aren’t here yet in every part of the world.”

The WHO has been running the international Covax scheme to secure a more equitable distribution of Covid doses amid accusations that wealthier nations have engaged in vaccine nationalism, quickly snapping up jabs for domestic use.

South Africa also gave away its AstraZeneca jabs, and now looks like its J&J won't be used either. At this rate the world might have to reluctantly rely on the Chinese and Russian ones, coz the American vaccines are expensive to rollout.

Bro, can you imagine?

They themselves don't trust the vaccine for their own people, but they are planning on sending it to ''poorer countries''.
