He said that the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine was far worse than Pfizer’s mRNA jab in terms of cardiovascular effects, heart attacks, strokes and even deaths.
“Why was AstraZeneca’s Covishield administered in India when it was suspended in the UK and some European countries due to severe side-effects? There needs to be immediate suspension pending inquiry as to why India got this so very very wrong,” he said.
According to the doctor, there have been an ‘unprecedented’ number of adverse reports when it came to the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. “8,00,000 reports of adverse effects which were beyond mild after administering 9.7 million doses,” he asserted.
