AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine trial in the United States is expected to resume as early as this week after the US Food and Drug Administration completed its review of a serious illness

AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine trial in the United States is expected to resume as early as this week after the US Food and Drug Administration completed its review of a serious illness, four sources told Reuters., after a participant in the company's British trial fell ill with what was suspected to be a rare spinal inflammatory disorder called transverse myelitis.

He said the AstraZeneca/Oxford and University of Queensland projects used different approaches, with UQ's being a more "classical" vaccine model while AstraZeneca's was a newer approach, and it was a positive that both projects could be made in Melbourne. “In this case, after considering the information, the independent reviewers and MHRA recommended that vaccinations should continue,” the draft consent form stated. “Close monitoring of the affected individual and other participants will be continued.”

A J&J spokesman on Tuesday said the study remains on pause as the company continues its review of medical information before deciding to restart the trial. J&J noted that its "study pause" was voluntary, in contrast to AstraZeneca's "regulatory hold," which is imposed by health authorities. FDA "has come to the same conclusion as the other drug regulators including the MHRA," the letter states.The Health Research Authority, which helps regulate UK medical research, did not say if the letter had been sent or respond to questions about it.

US files landmark antitrust lawsuit against GoogleThe US Justice Department files an antitrust lawsuit against Alphabet Inc's Google, claiming the $US1 trillion company uses its market power to fend off rivals and stifle competition. It’s interesting that regulation is being used to protect a free market is that an oxymoron ? Considering this is how most large US corporations operate now and have been for decades, I reckon this is politically motivated. If you don't tow the line, Trump will use government to go after you. He just said he will make Barr investigate the Bidens. Banana Republicans.
