The German “Der Spiegel” published an article commenting that the AZ vaccine is “a vaccine that nobody wants”, pointing out medical staff Refusal to vaccinate AZ vaccine has become a serious social problem in Germany. Some German medical nurses revealed that they had a high fever of 40 degrees after the vaccination, which felt like riding a bicycle 200 kilometers away.

200,000 doses of the new crown vaccine jointly developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University in the United Kingdom, commonly known as AZ, will soon arrive in Taiwan, allowing medical staff to give priority to it. Previously, it was reported in France, Sweden, Germany, etc. After the AZ vaccine was administered, the medical staff experienced severe colds and other side effects, so they had to take sick leave and rest, which caused the suspension of vaccination in France and Switzerland.
German “Der Spiegel” published an article on the 19th entitled “The Vaccine that Nobody Wants: Fears of AstraZeneca Could Have Dangerous Consequences” (The Vaccine that Nobody Wants: Fears of AstraZeneca Could Have Dangerous Consequences).
The article pointed out that since Germany began to vaccinate front-line medical staff on a large scale in the past three weeks, medical staff have refused to vaccinate. The main reason for their refusal to vaccinate is the low protection of AZ vaccine and serious side effects. . Hristina Markova, a nurse at a hospital in the city of Braunschweig in north-central Germany, said that 12 hours after she received the first dose of the AZ vaccine, she suddenly developed cold and fever. The fever reached 40.3 degrees Celsius that night. , The next day, she forced the patient to seek medical treatment and took anti-fever medicines. On that day, she had to take sick leave to rest.
The report pointed out that many people had symptoms similar to Markova’s after vaccination. A total of 88 staff in the hospital where Markova worked were vaccinated, and 37 of them took sick leave. Her colleague and intensive care unit nurse Kati Schmidt described herself as being pushed into a meat grinder, and she lay in bed for 2 days after the vaccine. With more and more colleagues taking sick leave, no one in the hospital wants to get the vaccine anymore. The last doctor who received the vaccine, Nikolas Bollenbach, said that he was “exhausted” the next night after the vaccine was administered. It’s like participating in a 200-kilometer bicycle race.”
In addition to the side effects, the AZ vaccine generally has a poor impression among German medical staff. The main reason is that about 60% of the protection is far lower than the 95% of Pfizer or Modena vaccines. The Berlin nurse under the pseudonym Michael Golke complained “How can people who fight against the new crown virus every day and who are obviously at high risk of infection be given a lower protective vaccine?” He said that he is not advocating that medical staff should be given priority. “But medical staff should not be better than the general public. worse.”
Even the German WMA Council Chairman Dr. Frank Ulrich Montgomery also publicly stated in an exclusive interview with German media, “You can’t cover up the fact that it (referring to the AZ vaccine) is less effective”, bluntly, like medical care. Groups at risk of infection should receive better vaccines. A doctor in Dortmund also published a comment in the medical journal Ärztezeitung, denouncing that the EU should not approve the emergency license of the AZ vaccine because the quality of its experimental data is “extremely poor.” A dentist in the western state of Saarland told the Minister of Health directly: “I am doing the most dangerous job in the world. You can’t give me the worst vaccine.”
In many states in Germany, medical staff have refused to administer the AZ vaccine. The report pointed out that although not all medical staff are skeptical of the AZ vaccine, the number has become a serious problem.
Galk said that about 20-25% of his colleagues refused to receive the AZ vaccine; Hesse officials privately revealed that there are not enough people under 65 who are given priority in the state. The number of people is willing to administer the AZ vaccine; the vaccination station in Saxony does not even need to make an appointment; the German Red Cross has also reported that there have been 50 cases of people who made an appointment for vaccination but ended up releasing pigeons.
So far, AstraZeneca has delivered more than 736,000 doses of AZ vaccine to Germany. However, according to the statistics of the Robert Koch Institute of Germany’s CDC, only about 106,000 doses of AZ vaccine have been administered in Germany. The state received 58,000 doses of vaccine, but as of the 15th, only 851 people had given it. In addition, according to a survey conducted by the online polling agency “Civey”, only 2.8% of Germans who are willing to receive the new crown vaccine are willing to choose the AZ vaccine.
Not only did the medical staff refuse to give the shot, the police union in the southern state of Bavaria has even asked the government to let the police give the “best vaccine.”
However, the report also pointed out that comparing the AZ vaccine with Pfizer and Modena vaccines, the experimental results of the latter two are indeed better, but the AZ vaccine has indeed greatly reduced the risk of human infection with the new crown. More importantly, it prevents In view of the incidence of severe illness, the report pointed out that the current new coronavirus vaccines approved by the European Union can almost 100% prevent the occurrence of severe new coronary disease. In particular, a study showed that after the second dose of AZ vaccine, no experimental volunteers Become a severely ill patient who needs to be hospitalized or died unfortunately.
In response to the refusal of medical staff to administer the AZ vaccine, Christian Drosten, an authoritative German virologist, said that many public discussions have misunderstood that the AZ vaccine is actually very good and is not the second vaccine.
Due to too few people making appointments for AZ vaccination, Berlin’s health director Dilek Kalayci said that it may be necessary to abolish people’s right to choose vaccinations. Other states are currently working on revising the list of priority groups, such as Saxony. The state is studying and planning to prioritize educators, teachers, and public health service personnel.
