London: The vaccine against Covid-19 from the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer and the German firm BioNTech caused twice as many deaths and adverse effects in the United Kingdom as that of AstraZeneca / Oxford, said a study published today.
According to the report of the Institute for Global Change founded by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the 21.6 million doses of the AstraZeneca preparation administered in the country until April 5 only produced 321 infections and 22 deaths.
The Pfizer / BioNTech, of which 15.4 million injections were applied in the same period, caused, on the other hand, 626 positive cases for the disease and 40 deaths.
The report adds that in absolute terms, the negative results of both compounds are infinitely lower, compared to the effects of the disease in non-immunized people.
It further states that the chance of developing blood clots after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine is one in every 250,000, a ridiculous ratio compared to one in every 2,000 people after taking oral contraceptives.
The safety of the compound created by the Anglo-Swedish company and Oxford scientists and which began to be administered en masse in the United Kingdom last January, almost a month after Pfizer, was called into question after several cases of thrombosis were reported in people. who received it.
Although both the British regulator and the European Union assured that the benefits outweigh the risks, several countries temporarily suspended its use, while Denmark ruled it out altogether.
