Top Government Official: AstraZeneca’s Covishield Demonstrates Lowest Side Effect Rate in India Compared to Global Data

As per the report by a high-ranking government official engaged in the nationwide introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine, India has the least number of adverse effects reported worldwide from AstraZeneca’s vaccine. The official, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that of the astonishing 180 crore doses of Covishield that were given, India has recorded about 80,000 adverse effects. He did note that in 98% of these instances, there were moderate local responses, such as fever, injection site edema, or soreness.

The source stated, “But of the 180 crore doses administered against 4 to 10 cases (out of every 10 lakh doses) globally, only about 50 cases witnessed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), a rare side effect caused by the jab.” “In India, the probability of TTS with Covishield was approximately 0.000003%, while worldwide, the risk was approximately 0.0004%,” the officer approximated.

These projections coincide with the announcement by the Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical business that it has begun the worldwide removal of its COVID-19 vaccine, following the company’s admission a few days prior that the vaccination may induce a rare adverse effect known as TTS. Blood clots in tiny blood vessels all throughout the body are a defining feature of TTS, a blood condition. The term “thrombocytopenia” refers to low blood platelet levels.

The Serum Institute of India (SII) in India created the vaccine that is manufactured by AstraZeneca and sold globally as Vaxzevria. Previously, the vaccine was known as Covishield. In an attempt to calm people’s concerns, the official underlined, “The vaccine does not exhibit any long-term effects on the human body.” Any possible negative effects, in his opinion, would most likely manifest themselves on the first dosage. “There is no reason to doubt the efficacy of the vaccine or anticipate any adverse events in the future,” said the official, adding that “if it has not occurred by then, it is improbable to arise later, ensuring your safety.”

The official went on to say that “people from South Asia (South Asians) have a genetic makeup that makes them less likely to develop thrombotic and thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). It explains why side effects were less common in India than in other populations. “In general, the advantages of vaccination far outweigh the minimal risk of harm,” the officer said when asked if the reduced number of adverse effects may be the result of underreporting. However, India has been continuously keeping an eye out for any growing indicators of injury as a precaution.

The manufacturer of Covishield, Serum Institute of India, responded to public concerns over TTS by stating on Wednesday that TTS was properly declared on the product’s package along with all other uncommon to extremely rare adverse effects. Since we are aware of the ongoing concerns, we must emphasize our commitment to safety and transparency. A SII representative stated, “From the beginning, we have specified all rare to extremely rare side-effects in the packing insert in 2021, including thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome. It stated that the business ceased producing more Covishield dosages in India in December 2021.

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav addressed the media together. When Kejriwal brought up the topic of the assault on Swati Maliwal, he handed the microphone to Akhilesh. He stated, “There are more important things than this.” As for the alleged attack on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at Kejriwal’s residence by CM’s PA Bibhav Kumar, AAP MP Sanjay Singh has made statements about it thus far. He said he would speak on the matter and then cited Manipur, Prajwal Revanna, and the wrestlers’ protest against former chief wrestler of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“The prime minister said nothing while the wife of a Kargil hero was paraded in Manipur in her undies. PM Modi requested support for Prajwal Revanna, who had raped and molested many women. And the authorities assisted him in his escape. Swati Maliwal went to visit the women wrestlers during their protests at night, and the cops beat her up. Sanjay Singh remarked, “We have seen PM Modi’s silence on Hathras, Kuldeep Sengar. “The Party of Aam Aadmi is a family. The party has already made it clear where it stands on this matter. I want the BJP to respond to all of these questions, especially the incident in which the cops beat up Swati Maliwal. Politics shouldn’t be played over this, according to Sanjay Singh.

On Wednesday, Sanjay Singh visited Swati Maliwal at her home, but the BJP is pressing for action against Vibhav Kumar in this regard. Leaders of the BJP also questioned if Swati Maliwal was under pressure from the AAP, given that no formal complaint has been filed on the assault event. The picture of Bibhav Kumar seen at the Lucknow airport with Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh was released by the BJP on Thursday. “This is the image from last night of the Lucknow airport.” Vibhav, the one wearing the black shirt, struck Swati Maliwal. Kejriwal is upset, as is Sanjay Singh, who said that Bibhav has done something really wrong. BJP’s Kapil Mishra commented on X, saying, “The third one is Kejriwal himself, who is accused of getting Swati beaten up.”

Kejriwal Sparks Controversy: ‘Modi Never Ruled Out Retirement at 75,’ Amid ‘Amit Shah for PM’ Claim

Amit Shah will succeed Narendra Modi as prime minister in 2025, when the latter turns 75, according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who announced this Thursday. The prime minister has never said he will not step down at that age. Despite the disagreements between Amit Shah and some other politicians on Kejriwal’s age and retirement, PM Modi never said he wouldn’t retire at 75, Kejriwal said at a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chairman Akhilesh Yadav (Lucknow). “Everyone in the nation is confident that Modi won’t deviate from his 75-year retirement age,” Kejriwal stated.

“Amit Shah’s appointment as prime minister is now confirmed. According to him, the BJP has ignored every opponent, including Devendra Fadnavis, Manohar Lal Khattar, Vasundhara Raje, Dr. Raman Singh, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The only issue at hand is Yogi Adityanath, who would be ousted in two to three months, according to Kejriwal, who also mentioned that no BJP leader had disputed his remarks against Adityanath, suggesting that Adityanath’s departure was all but certain.

According to Kejriwal, eliminating reservations is the BJP’s “big plan” if they win the election.

During his first rally after leaving Tihar, Kejriwal stated that if he supported the BJP, Amit Shah would become prime minister since, according to party policy, no one over 75 may hold any job. Narendra Modi will turn 75 in 2025. In response to Kejriwal’s assertion, Amit Shah stated that Narendra Modi will serve out his term and continue to head the party well beyond 2029. Amit Shah charged that Kejriwal was fomenting disarray within the party about the leadership, whereas there is none.

“I would want to inform Arvind Kejriwal and associates that there is no need to celebrate Modiji’s 75th birthday. The BJP constitution does not mention his ineligibility to serve as prime minister. He will serve out the remainder of his time as prime minister. The party is not confused,” Amit Shah declared.
