[historyb]

A volunteer involved in AstraZeneca and Oxford University’s coronavirus vaccine trial has died, Brazilian health authority Anvisa announced on Wednesday, according to Reuters. An investigation into the death is ongoing, but the trials will continue.

The Wall Street Journal, citing local Brazilian press reports, said the volunteer was a man in his 20s from Rio de Janeiro. It was not immediately clear if the man received the vaccine or had been part of a placebo group.

An anonymous source told Reuters that if the victim had received the vaccine, the trial would have been stopped.

An AstraZeneca spokesperson told Fox News that the company cannot comment on individual cases in an ongoing trial due to regulations. However, they said the company has followed all required review processes.

He died of Covid-19...
Apparently he worked in the covid-19 wing of the hospital and got infected and died.

wow

He got a meningitis vaccine instead of the target vaccine...he thought that he had the real one instead of the placebo.

They told him that nobody knew what he got...but he believed that he got the targeted one because... well there's a lot of wink and nod deals going on in Brazil.
So he went about with little precaution even though he was on the front lines because he thought that he was safe from risky behaviors.

This is the vaccine that our PM has signed up for and wants to force/blackmail onto us...
The vaccines trials have been full of problems... They first tested it on chimps and found that it didn't work. All the chimps got infected with covid...
At that stage the trial should have been cancelled, it should never have gone ahead onto human trials... But it has...

The meningitis vaccines safety, which they are using as a placebo, should be questioned. But i doubt that will happen.

Apparently,
The reports are that this guy believed that he received the vaccine.
And he just happened to be a medical professional of some sort that worked in a Covid ward of a hospital.
He died of coronavirus complications.

And he had only received the placebo.
