Boris Johnson Defends AstraZeneca Shot Over Blood Clot Fears
~1.7 mins read
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday defended the safety of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine after several European countries halted its rollout over blood clot fears.
Germany, Italy and France on Monday joined others in suspending the vaccine, dealing a potential blow to the global immunisation campaign against a disease that has killed more than 2.6 million people.
However, the World Health Organization, AstraZeneca, and the European Medicines Agency have insisted the shot is safe, and that there is no link between it and reported blood clots.
The British leader on Tuesday echoed assurances that the jab was not harmful.
“That vaccine is safe and works extremely well,” Johnson wrote in The Times newspaper.

“It is being made in multiple places from India to the US, as well as Britain, and it is being used around the world,” he added.
Fears have grown in some countries over the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine after several cases of blood clots or brain haemorrhages in people after receiving the inoculation, with a small number of deaths reported.
But AstraZeneca and medical experts in Britain have said there is no evidence of clots being caused by the jab or that they are occurring in greater numbers or frequency than in the general population.
The vaccine was developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford in Britain, where more than 11 million doses have been administered, without any major problems reported.
On Monday, Johnson told reporters that Britain’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is “one of the toughest and most experienced regulators in the world”.
“They see no reason at all to discontinue the vaccination programme… for either of the vaccines that we’re currently using,” he said.
“They believe that they are highly effective in driving down not just hospitalisation but also serious disease and mortality.
“We continue to be very confident about the programme and it’s great to see it being rolled out at such speed across the UK.”

9 Bandits Killed On Their Way To Buy Foodstuff, Recharge Cards, Four Arrested In Niger State
~1.8 mins read
At least nine bandits have been reportedly killed while men of the vigilante group arrested four others during an exchange of fire at Fapo near Gulu in Azza community of Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State.
The incident happened on Sunday when two persons going to pay ransom for an abducted relative coincidentally met in the bush with the vigilante group's men on a rescue mission.

The bandits sent those going to pay ransom to buy some foodstuff and recharge cards when they met the vigilante members.

A source, who narrated what happened, said the vigilantes reinforced and attacked the bandits, leading to the death of nine of the armed bandits after a gun duel that lasted for hours.

It was reliably gathered that the vigilantes had reinforced and searched for the kidnappers to effect more arrest if possible.

A resident of Gulu, who spoke with DailyTrust, said that a woman came into the town naked on Saturday night after escaping from the kidnappers.

She stated that the said woman escaped when the rain started falling and she was left with other three women and four men who were tied to trees by the bandits.

Other sources said she was hosted by the Gulu district head where she explained details of her ordeal; hence vigilantes were mobilized to search and rescue others.

Unfortunately, the four men were said to have been killed by the bandits when they could not account for the women who escaped.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the State, ASP Wasiu Abiodun, when contacted for confirmation, did not respond to his calls or reply messages sent to his phone.
