Why do some people think that the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine was taken off the market because it is dangerous?
The usual suspects…
Why Was the AstraZeneca COVID Vaccine Taken Off the Market?
So why was the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine, Vaxzevria, taken off the market?
“In a statement, AstraZeneca said the decision was made because there is now a variety of newer vaccines available that have been adapted to target Covid-19 variants. This had led to a decline in demand for the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is no longer being manufactured or supplied.”

The simple answer is that we simply don’t need it anymore.
“As a result of this commitment to ensuring global and equitable access, the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine saved 6.3 million lives in the first year of the global vaccine rollout – the most out of all the vaccines in circulation at the time.”

Although we sure did need it when it first came out!
The AstraZeneca COVID vaccine was very useful when it first came out, but it hasn’t been updated to deal with the latest COVID variants. And other vaccines that have been updated are in good supply, so again, we don’t need the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine anymore.
What about the risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia that was rarely associated with the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine?
It was a very rare side effect and much less likely to occur than if you actually got COVID.
So whatever you might hear from anti-vaccine influencers, the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine was not withdrawn because it isn’t safe or wasn’t effective.
