Breaking: Australia has agreed to donate 20 million doses of the locally made AstraZeneca vaccine to Asian and Pacific nations as part of a global plan to deliver one billion doses to nations in need | CroweDM + BevanShields

Australia will donate 20 million doses of locally made AstraZeneca vaccines to Asian and Pacific nations as part of a global plan to deliver one billion doses to nations seeking urgent help confronting the pandemic.

“These 20 million doses will go support our region to ensure that we continue to exercise our responsibility as part of a broader global responsibility to combat this virus.”Getty Images The progress on the domestic rollout is expected to free up more of the roughly one million AstraZeneca doses produced each week by CSL in Melbourne for export.

The US commitment is to ship 200 million doses from August to the end of this year, followed by 300 million in the first half of next year. COVAX co-chair Jane Halton, a former secretary of the federal health department, backed the G7 commitments and the proposal to use the non-profit initiative to distribute many of the vaccines.

CroweDM BevanShields Nice considering they are unapproved, and only provisionally approved let's kill as many people as we can.....

CroweDM BevanShields Vaccine effectiveness denying leadership, they are pathetic .

CroweDM BevanShields Scomo big noting himself for a great photo op Small print says - won’t be donating that anytime soon till roll out is further along, Also says gov “forecasting” big increase to Pfizer supply 60k a week soon So enough for 30,000 people a week, and that’s a big increase?

CroweDM BevanShields That’s what we should have been done from the start - send doses where the virus actually WAS. Then we might have prevented getting to where it was not.. namely… HERE.

CroweDM BevanShields So instead of proactively beat china to the race and getting SE asia to our side, scomo is happy to just attack china cause it pleases bogan voters who will probably decide the next election. Yeah, we are screwed 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

CroweDM BevanShields More PR from shameless LNP lickspittles at Costello’s TheAge, Crowe & Shields, presenting Morrison as a saviour despite his vaccine, aged care & quarantine catastrophes. BinTheAge TheAgeOfTrash MorrisonLockdown

NSW woman's death 'related' to AstraZeneca vaccine | Sky News AustraliaChief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly says the AstraZeneca vaccine remains an “extremely important” component of the vaccine rollout after it was revealed a 52-year-old woman's death was 'related' to the jab.\n\nProfessor Kelly said the woman was administered the vaccine a couple of weeks ago and developed an 'extremely rare' blood clotting event.\n\n“It (AstraZeneca vaccine) remains an incredibly, extremely important part of our vaccine rollout with our large numbers of doses that are available here in Australia,” he said.\n\n“It is absolutely key in relation to us becoming safe from COVID as a population here in Australia, and that remains the case.\n\n“I will point out that this remains an extremely rare event to get these serious clots but when they happen, as we have seen in this case, it can have tragic consequences.”\n PKelly_CBR Bring in Sputnik V. It comes with high praise. Bring in Sinopharm for the Chinese community. Bring in the French one too. Only with choice in our choice driven society will an informed public have confidence. Otherwise we're feeling rail roaded towards an inferior product.. PKelly_CBR How many have died within a month of receiving the vaccine? You know, the same metric you used for 'died after testing positive'. PKelly_CBR I'm 52. Fit as a fiddle. The AZ vaccine is banned in over a dozen countries. I'm happy to wait for an alternative. I don't care how small the chance is statistically that I'll have a problem. I'm a father to 4. That's the number I care about.

Second woman dies from extremely rare blood clots likely linked to AstraZeneca vaccineA second woman has died from an extremely rare form of blood clots that was likely linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine. This only feeds vaccine hesitancy. So many people I know over 50 do not want the AZ vaccine - they want Pfizer I don’t understand when they say that the AstraZeneca vaccine is only recommended for 50+ year olds because of the chance of blood clots. It’s as if the government is saying ‘We don’t care if the elderly die’
