Brazil's health authority said that a volunteer in a clinical trial of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University had died but added that the trial would continue

Oxford confirmed the plan to keep testing, saying in a statement that after careful assessment “there have been no concerns about safety of the clinical trial.”A source familiar with the matter told Reuters the trial would have been suspended if the volunteer who died had received the COVID-19 vaccine, suggesting the person was part of the control group that was given a meningitis jab.

“Everything is proceeding as expected, without any record of serious vaccine-related complications involving any of the participating volunteers,” the Brazilian university said in a statement. CNN Brasil reported that the volunteer was a 28-year-old man who lived in Rio de Janeiro and died from COVID-19 complications.AstraZeneca shares fell 1.8%.

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro said on Wednesday the federal government will not buy the Sinovac vaccine.

i expect more from you. Stop clickbaiting and make it clear that the person in the placebo group died.

Control group my a**. This vaccine has become political. I'll chillax for a bit and let nature decide.

So called news outlets are such trash these days with headlines like this. The way its worded you would think the person died from the vaccine which is not the case. Do better.

Wow that sounds reliable....

The killing must go on.

He was in the placebo group. He did not take the trial vaccine. Do a better headline.

How poor and desperate do you have to be to volunteer to die for a 99%+ survival rate virus vaccine trial? It seems borderline unethical.

The person was receivng the placebo - eg saline solution -, _not_ the vaccine.

Yikes

It’s like they deliberately forget to mention that the person who died was in the control group.

I won’t be touching that vaccine with a 10 foot pole

Is better to stop it,

it will expire after one month

Ohhh 😬😲

Cue antivaxxers with NFI how clinical trials work.

Na wa for covid sha

*in the placebo group

He didn’t die due to the trial, delete this bullshit headline Is the death because of the coronavirus or the potential vaccine or is it completely unrelated, ? Bad headline. Should note in the headline that the individual who passed had a placebo not the vaccine.
