Shares in AstraZeneca were slightly higher on Thursday despite an update on the European Medicines Agency's website on Wednesday stating the regulator said that the approval for AstraZeneca's Vaxzevria had been withdrawn “at the request of the marketing authorisation holder.” AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine was first given the nod by the EMA in January 2021. Within weeks, however, concerns grew about the vaccine's safety, when dozens of countries suspended the vaccine's use after unusual but rare blood clots were detected in a small number of immunised people. The EU regulator concluded AstraZe...

The pharma giant AstraZeneca has requested that the European authorisation for its Covid-19 vaccine be pulled, according to the EU medicines regulator.

The first scientist to publish a sequence of the COVID-19 virus in China was staging a sit-in protest after authorities locked him out of his lab. Virologist Zhang Yongzhen wrote in an online post on Monday that he and his team were suddenly notified they were being evicted from their lab, the latest in a series of setbacks, demotions and ousters since he first published the sequence in early January 2020. The move shows how the Chinese government continues to pressure and control scientists, seeking to avoid scrutiny of its handling of the coronavirus outbreak. Zhang wrote the post on Chinese...

Overall, around 32 per cent of Europeans polled said they had neither a positive nor negative view wh...

Jair Bolsonaro foi acusado de cometer fraude com o certificado de vacinação contra a COVID-19. De acordo com a acusação da polícia, o próprio ex-presidente do Brasil e outras 16 pessoas introduziram informações falsas numa base de dados de saúde pública para fazer parecer com que ele, a sua filha de 12 anos e outras pessoas ao seu redor tinham sido vacinadas. De acordo com a investigação, o objetivo era contornar as restrições sanitárias noutros países. A acusação lança uma nova luz sobre uma investigação da comissão do Senado que terminou em outubro de 2021, com uma recomendação de nove acusa...

A German man who was vaccinated against coronavirus 217 times in the last 29 months has reportedly shown no side-effects, according to a study published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal. The 62-year-old showed no sign of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. The man, from Magdeburg in Germany, said he was vaccinated so many times for "personal reasons" according to researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Researchers contacted the man after hearing about him from a newspaper and asked if they could undertake tests to examine his body's response to the multi...

A new study suggests that COVID-19 can impact cognitive function a year or more after people have contracted the virus. The study enrolled more than 140,000 participants and assessed the cognitive and memory abilities of individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 compared to those who had not been infected. Study participants were tasked with completing an online cognitive evaluation using a platform called Cognitron. The tasks were designed to identify nuanced changes to cognition such as memory, reasoning, attention, and impulsivity. “The potential long-term effects of COVID-19 on cognitive...

A COVID-19 antiviral drug has been underused in Europe with about 3.1 million courses of the medicine set to expire in the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France by the end of this month. With clinical trial data showing a nearly 90 per cent reduction in the risk of severe illness, Paxlovid first came to market as a critical tool against COVID-19 at the beginning of 2022. But the UK-based global health data and analytics company Airfinity said in a report earlier this year that a few of the batches initially delivered by the drug’s manufacturer Pfizer already started expiring in July 2023, acco...

To date, nearly 200,000 people have died of Covid-19 in the UK. It’s an astonishingly high figure for the virus that came to the shore in the first months of 2020. The new three-part drama ‘Breathtaking’ on ITV takes viewers inside the healthcare system to witness how doctors desperately tried to keep up with a rapidly spreading virus against inert government advice. The show is based on the book ‘Breathtaking: Inside the NHS in a Time of Pandemic’ by British palliative care doctor Rachel Clarke. During the pandemic, she took note of her experiences within the UK’s National Health Service (NHS...

Are you curious as to how French director Olivier Assayas spent his 2020 Covid lockdown? If you have a modicum of sanity or self-respect, the answer is an emphatic ‘no’. However, the celebrated filmmaker behind the excellent Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper seems to think his lockdown was interesting enough to merit a feature length film. Most baffling of all, the Berlinale decided it merited an inclusion in the Official Competition. We’re plunged back into the early days of the global pandemic, with a broadly fictionalised portrait of the artist as a pompous navel-gazer, punctuated b...
