SÃO PAULO—Brazilian health regulator Anvisa said clinical trials in the country for the Covid-19 vaccine being developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca would continue despite the death of one of the volunteers.
Oxford University said it had carried out a “careful assessment” of the case in Brazil and that “there have been no concerns about safety of the clinical trial.”
If an alien civilization placed a infectious virus on Earth and its people, Don't you think they would also include a defense system to reject any virus killing vaccine? The harder you try to kill it, the stronger it gets. Read more syfy?
So many of you commented this this is horrible journalism bc he was the control, yet the article did NOT indicate whether he got the placebo or not. It had a weak assumption that MAYBE he was control bc they didn’t halt trials, but facts are facts. WSJ and WE have responsibility!
What kind of placebo did they use arseen?
sure it was only a placebo, we believe ya.
He not given the Covid vaccine. He was in the control group. Stop the misleading headlines.
Good luck y’all. You can have my dose. I’ll just chill and wait 5 years until they actually, ya know, do it the right way.
He was given the placebo. This headline is all conspiracy nuts need to go anti-vaxxer and increase the confusion in the world that we all have to live in, including staff of the WSJ. What’s the matter with you.
Hahahahaha .... good luck y’all. You can have my dose. I’ll just chill and wait 5 years until they actually, ya know, do it the right way.
Stop censorship! American people have right to know, Tweeter, Facebook, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN etc.
I think there is an agenda behind this misleading headline, as to the 'race for a vaccine approaches'. Obviously intentions to discredit another company, is the sole purpose is for the financial gain of others.
He took a placebo. Expect better reporting from you guys. Smh
Placebo 🤦🏻♀️ please be specific next time !
Anti-Vaxxers are going to have a field day. Extremely sad event. Clinical trials work with this as one of possible outcomes that there is little they can do to forestall with certainty. If it happens it will help save thousands and millions of others who have a similar profile.
He took the placebo. Really. He did. Big pharma wouldn’t lie.
What was the cause of death?
Tweet should just say Brazilian guy died and left it at that.
The Person received the placebo.

Seriously stop hurrying the vaccine !!!
Have the US Congress submit to vaccine testing. Let’s see how that goes.
What a profoundly irresponsible headline. Do better.
Hit by car?
He received the placebo, not the vaccine. This tweet should be blocked as misinformation.
Click bait. Such a cheap way to generate funds.
And then you get aggravated when we call you enemy of the people!
I can't believe you would employ such a cheap journalistic ploy by giving a false impression with your headline to the people who see it. That man was given a placebo so the vaccine doesn't even come into play. He died from covid.
Bad headline. Usually better to get your news from Bloomberg...not WSJ. 'Deceased AstraZeneca Trial Volunteer Didn’t Receive Vaccine '
Why do you post misleading headlines?
Caipirinhas and vaccines don't mix well.
'It didn’t give any information about the identity of the volunteer or whether the person had taken a placebo dose or a real dose of the vaccine. ' Kinda pointless to report on this until that's known.
P - L - A - C - E - B - O 💊 not the vaccine 🙄👍
That will disqualify their results from the trial.
That’s one hell of a misleading headline—considering he was THE CONTROL
WSJ, check your headline. People who don't read the article, and that's the majority, will walk away thinking the person died from the vaccine. That'll contribute to more people distrusting the vaccine, and that's dangerous. Change the headline!
WSJ needs clicks. Placebo!
Was he part of the CONTROL GROUP? The ones who DID NOT receive the vaccine?
Why are you spreading fake news? The man had a placebo and died from other causes
***He was given the placebo***
From the control group...
Placebo
Control group? Or was it in paragraph 6 that people can die in tests for reasons unrelated to the agent.
I expect this kind of malicious clickbait from the Washington Post or some other tabloid garbage site, but not from the WSJ. The volunteer who died was part of the placebo group.
HE WAS A PLACEBO RECIPIENT!!! Why are we reporting this way? Is MSM trying to scare people? WTF?
More panic pandemic porn from WSJ. Have you any clue how many people die of natural causes each day? Trying to create vaccine panic is unflattering for a venerable old rag like yours. But that's the new paradigm for WSJ. Disgusting, biased, anti-Trump. That's all you've got.
😳🤯💨🤦🏻♂️
What happened to the AIRLINES hope $JBLU JBLU $SAVE $LUV $DAL $AAL $UAL $DAL $AA
Captions are important. Knowing the patient only received a placebo and not the vaccine are important.
So, zero context? Was he hit by a bus? The fact that they're not pausing the trial would lead me to believe that they have no reason that the vaccine played a role in the death of the young man. If it's obviously from another cause, they should make that clear.
Trying to get readers to pay for subscription on juicy news. The young doctor sad passing was not due to the vaccine as he was not given one. He contracted covid 19.
Maketeers must be allowed to cut the line. Their immune systems are so shot, they will not make it into the colder months.
No vaccine is safe ☠️
Better add like UK media, that it's still unclear if this person really got the vaccine or a placebo, if placebo was also used.
