Apparently this is 2nd time that $AZN/Oxford #COVID19 vaccine trial has been paused according to volunteer info sheet covid19vaccinetrial.co.uk/fi… Another participant previously developed transverse myelitis but was deemed unrelated to the vaccine per Nature nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
#COVID19 So according to NYTimes, the serious adverse event that caused the clinical hold in $AZN/Oxford vaccine trial is transverse myelitis, an inflammation of the spinal cord that may cause varying degree of neural injuries.

Ok, so 2 months & 7 days. Hydroxychloroquine is literally one of the most researched medications for #COVID19. And it doesn’t work. Done. We must trust science - not nice anecdotes - because it’s what saves lives. Medical disinformation is dangerous & literally killing people.
It‘d be really helpful to know how long we have to talk real science & public health before hydroxychloroquine dominates the discussion again.
