Federal officials discuss AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine following Health Canada investigation | FULL

Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam commented Friday on the news that Health Canada had found the benefits of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine “continue to outweigh the risks” after investigating reports of blood clots in several countries. She said rare adverse reactions are expected when vaccines are deployed on a global scale and they “must be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.”

The agency said an assessment of available data on the reports out of Europe determined no link between the vaccine and an increase in the overall risk of blood clots. Health Canada stressed that the reports themselves were rare, and suggested blood clots “can also be due to COVID-19” itself.

Nearly a dozen countries resumed the use of AstraZeneca’s shots on Friday.

The United States also plans to send roughly 4 million doses of the vaccine that it is not using to Mexico and Canada in loan deals with the two countries, bowing to pressure to share vaccine with its allies.

That guy could never convince me of anything.

Once you see that Adam's apple, you cannot un-see it.

Dr. Tam - Canadians would like to see your transcripts from the University of Nottingham, University of Alberta and UBC. Some are beginning to question if you really are "Canada's Top Doctor". Some have started to point out that nobody at these schools remembers you being there. Please prove them wrong.

We are NOT obeying anything you say any longer, we are getting together with our friends, enjoying normal life, exercising our charter rights and you can’t do anything about it.

[rolandmanning]

Something doesn't add up over the last year Tam.

[smokumchevy]

Read direct from the latest WEF pamphlet ? Of course 🙄

[jp]

Astrabloodclotaka jabby banned in how many countries again?

[brettb]

can't believe Tam wasn't fired last February... except when I remember, oh yeah, the Trudeau Liberals 🤢

[nickknight]

The majority of Canadians do not believe you Mr. Tam.

[jstansutube]

The Canadian public has lost confidence in Tam's advice. Tam needs to resign.

[Babrooker]

Let Dr. Sham and her family take it. Even the US is getting rid of it so that should say something right off the get.

[nickmanning]

Hold on hold on. The BBC just reported that this vaccines formula was given to India out of the goodness of the parent companies hearts so that vaccines could be produced for third world countries out of their facility. Canada, states that we do not need to worry about our recent purchase of vaccines because our batch came from India and not Europe. Are we buying vaccines that are supposed to be used for the people of India and other impoverished countries?

Wasn't she the one who said masks were useless and told NOT to wear them? Its one thing to not encouraging to wear masks and its another to say DONT wear. I lost my hope in this fool, and I dont believe her. A lot of blood was on her hands back when she said not to wear masks, and now shes out for more blood by blatantly stating astra zeneca ks safe despite multiple countries stopping.

[jays]

Doesn’t everyone see there’s SUM TING WONG with Dr. Tam and these vaccines. 😂

[joypaquette]

There have been a total of 2, 209 reports (78.1 reports per 100, 000 doses administered) up to and including March 12, 2021. Of the 2, 209 reports,  287 were considered serious (10.1 reports per 100, 000 doses administered).

[bryanl]

Given Tam's track record... the only thing we can assume is that she's wrong.

[TruthSetFree-zmep]

Google “presidential apology for Tuskegee “

[Greenball_vr]

Dr Tam has been on mute for a year now, It’s refreshing to see people commenting on here, I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks this dude is a lying clown!

[huskavarnapunkband]

Well how can you trust anything a guy says who claims to be a woman.???? Mr. Tam!!!!

[wildbill]

She is still a thing? Look at these paid mouthpiece.
