Let's turn to real-time evidence, then.
Dr. Berthiaume, today Denmark, Norway and Iceland announced that they will temporarily suspend the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine as a precaution after “reports of severe cases of blood clots” in people who have been vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca. This follows a similar move by Austria at the start of this week, where authorities are investigating the death of one person and the illness of another after they received doses.
Is Health Canada currently investigating these reports of potential adverse effects? In your view, should Health Canada temporarily suspend use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine as a precaution while these reports are investigated? If not, why not?
