I’m guessing they chose not to pursue emergency approval here, due to the dosing issues reflected in their preliminary trial data. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 05:42
Also some where on a back board it was mentioned the other countries stopped using it because of developing blood clots. ? -- nm - Pippy Mar 18, 00:43 5
- yeah, but it's like a couple dozen cases of blood clots out of ~35 million vaccinated, which is lower than the background value you'd expect. - mafic Mar 18, 01:22 4
  - what vaccines is australia using? -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 18, 05:37 1
    - None. They have a firm policy on nature either killing you or you being stronger. See: every other living thing in Australia. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 05:41

  - 35m in India alone, plus shipped around the world to poorer nations (its made in India) they are sticking with it. WHO says its safe too -- (link) - zeitgeist Mar 18, 01:55
Because all those times AstraZeneca said if you can’t afford your medications, they can help... they were liars!! -- nm - Qale Mar 18, 00:13
Domestically, the AstraZeneca vaccine is still undergoing phase-three clinical trials and has therefore not been approved by the U.S -- nm - stim-mie Mar 17, 23:16 2
- I think they chose not to fast-track it, or at least not as much as the others. -- nm - mafic Mar 17, 23:38
- Along with the half dose thing I've been told. -- nm - . Mar 17, 23:17
