1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,940
Now then, COVID is back in the news.

2
00:00:03,020 --> 00:00:06,020
Are you hearing people are quite nervous about getting the vaccine?

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,360
One of the professors who worked in the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:14,240
is a paediatrician who is one of the most intelligent, sensible and honest people I know.

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,740
And I spoke to him, I was lucky enough to speak to him

6
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:20,960
because I worked in a documentary that looked at the Oxford vaccine.

7
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:25,340
And do you know what? There is no conspiracy. There is no fake news.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,980
The AstraZeneca COVID vaccine is being withdrawn worldwide

9
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:34,760
after the pharmaceutical giant admitted it causes a rare and dangerous side effect.

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,640
Government had no capacity to enforce any of this.

11
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:40,980
You must wear a mask.

12
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:45,140
And people wore masks in New York.

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,700
But if they said, I'm not wearing a mask, there was nothing I could do about it.

14
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:55,520
Masks have been mandatory since April and a fine for not wearing one took effect this week.

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,240
It was really all voluntary.

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,060
Wear a mask. It is the law. And the law is the law.

17
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:06,640
People who have got conspiracy, maybe anti-vax views,

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,400
who believe now that they were deliberately misled over these vaccines.

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,700
It's been developed quickly because we've sped up the process to make it more efficient.

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,480
We've still had all the safety checks in place. That has not been compromised.

21
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:22,180
AstraZeneca admits its COVID vaccine can cause rare blood clots.

22
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:26,260
Based on all the information we had, there was not enough to say that it was down to the vaccine.

23
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:31,880
Dr. Marco Cavallari, head of anti-infectives and vaccines for the EMA,

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,000
told the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero,

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,820
It is becoming more and more difficult to affirm that there isn't a cause and effect relationship

26
00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:48,780
between AstraZeneca vaccines and the very rare cases of blood clots associated with a low level of platelets.

27
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,740
You know, you talk about, like, you know, cancel culture and who to shame.

28
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:55,060
Ivermectin? A dewormer? Really?

29
00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:57,920
They are shaming themselves. No one has to shame them.

30
00:01:57,980 --> 00:01:59,960
They're shaming themselves by doing that.

31
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,960
They need to be called out and shamed, brother.

32
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:06,420
I am taking a regular dose of Ivermectin.

33
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:09,940
Ivermectin was a boogeyman early on in COVID.

34
00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:10,940
You couldn't talk about it.

35
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:12,620
That was wrong.

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,420
We were given bad information about Ivermectin.

37
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,200
You're going to question the vaccine, but you want to take a horse dewormer.

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,920
Those clots happened for lots of other reasons,

39
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:26,080
and they weren't happening at a higher rate than we would expect at that time.

40
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Germany, France, Spain and Italy are all taking the precautionary measure of suspending use of the vaccine

41
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,160
because of fears about possible side effects, including blood clots.

42
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:43,620
The AstraZeneca vaccine has already been suspended in the Netherlands, Ireland, Iceland, Bulgaria, Denmark and Norway.

43
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:53,660
And it was extraordinary when you think about it that society acted with that uniformity voluntarily.

44
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:55,420
Wear a mask.

45
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:57,400
It is the state law.

46
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:58,820
It's not an option.
