AstraZeneca withdrawing Covid vaccine due to rare side effects

The Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is being globally withdrawn due to rare side effects. The European Union has already stopped its use. AstraZeneca cited commercial reasons for the withdrawal, as updated vaccines are available. The vaccine's side effect, causing blood clots and low platelet counts, led to at least 81 deaths in the UK. Lawsuits are ongoing with over 50 claimants.
