    It would fit a well established pattern for the EMA and EU to have lost the application.

    It's beyond a cluster fuuu at this stage.

    This is just more gravy on top.

    Is this true?


    @HappyDays2020 yes 100% but anyone that brings into the public light is always put in the same light as antivaxxers which i find just a little annoying when my all kids under 10 are fully up to date on their Vaccines!


    This is the Official goverment database that is used for reporting all adverse reactions to any Vaccine. So yes anyone can submit a report but its a .gov website and there is severe penaltys for those who submit false reports.



    VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, including parents and patients.
    Healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS:
    Healthcare providers are strongly encouraged to report to VAERS:
    • Any adverse event that occurs after the administration of a vaccine licensed in the United States, whether it is or is not clear that a vaccine caused the adverse event
    • Vaccine administration errors
    Vaccine manufacturers are required to report to VAERS all adverse events that come to their attention.
    Online reporting is strongly encouraged. Please report clinically important adverse events that occur after vaccination of adults and children, even if you are not sure whether the vaccine caused the adverse event.
    The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) accepts all reports, including reports of vaccination errors. Guidance on reporting vaccination errors is available if you have additional questions.
    Knowingly filing a false VAERS report is a violation of Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1001) punishable by fine and imprisonment.

    If this is actually true, then someone's head needs to roll.

    My own personal opinion is the French and Germans are so butt hurt over brexit they're trying to control everything to get "one over" the british and obviously they always want to make putin look like the dodgy dick that he is.

    I'm extremely pro Europe, but they have made an absolute balls of the whole covid and vaccine situation, they literally couldn't have done any worse.

    Correct anyone can report to VAERS. So many of the reports will list things that have not been verified by a medic. Similarly anyone ie member of public or HCP can report to HPRA or other European agencies.
    All the regulatory websites will have a very obvious and clear caveat listed that just because a suspected report is listed does not mean it was caused by the vaccine. Many HCPs will diligently report especially in the early days of a vaccination campaign even when they are fully satisfied the vaccine was not the cause of the event. Remember many millions have been vaccinated in US for example so many deaths and Heart attacks and hospital visits etc that would have happened anyway will still happen.
    The first monthly safety review for the Pfizer vaccine has been completed and no new safety concern was identified and this included review of any deaths reported in period after vaccination. Summary available on EMA website.
    HPRA are publishing safety summary every 2 weeks.

    I think it is just incompetence more than any Brexit twist.

    Maybe as well with the ema based in Amsterdam, the Dutch were very relaxed about the whole thing up to a few weeks ago.

    It's systematic.

    Eh, it says it in the big bloody disclaimer on their website, with the URL you posted.

    https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html

    ...VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable.

    If they are fair enough. But don't start slagging off a not for profit vaccine that looks like doing a decent enough job.

    The amount of panic they must of caused by those articles in the German press saying AZ is only 8% efficient in older people and then Macron coming out saying it is basically non effective in older people was below the belt.

    I mean other nations in the world actually listen and respect what these people say, they certainly had some agenda behind it.

    Possibly, but no one can deny the EU have been absolutely riddled with incompetence this past year.

    I'm genuinely flabbergasted if what the sputnik tweet is true.

    But dare I say at this stage, I'd believe the Russians over the EU, who have just been woeful with covid.

    I hope he didn't get angry when they refused to believe him.

    The Russians?

    And what if the Russians are wrong? Will the people who criticise the EMA criticise the Russians?

    Have a look at the replies to that post. It looks like the Russians have sent the application to the wrong place.
    Also from this date [1 July 2015], companies should no longer send their centralized procedure applications for human medicines to individual EU member states on CDs/DVDs or via the Common European Submission Platform (CESP)2. Companies should only send such applications to the EMA via its eSubmission Gateway/Web Client and these applications will automatically be made available to all national competent authorities via a common online repository.

    Well, Italy has authorized the Monoclonal Antibodies a couple of days ago.

    Monoclonal antibodies are a bigger pain in the neck to produce than vaccines. Also, they are incredibly expensive.

    And they have failed against these new variants, unfortunately.

    Yes. But they saw nothing like that during previous lockdowns.

    That's a serious drop . It really gives the impression when people are over 60 that should be it with most restrictions
