After law-enforcement authorities in Sicily and Piedmont seized batches of the AstraZeneca COVID jab, prosecutors in the EU's third-largest economy have launched a manslaughter investigation after a music teacher died just hours after receiving the jab.
According to Italian-language media outlets, 57-year-old Sandro Tognatti died after receiving the jab in his hometown of Biella on Saturday afternoon. He soon developed a high fever, but went to bed anyway, he his wife, Simona Riussi, told the Italian press.
The next morning, Riussi awoke to find Tognatti dead. She called an ambulance, but Tognatti was already dead. Prosecutors in Piedmont officially launched the investigation later in the day. As we mentioned above, prosecutors also seized a batch with nearly 400K jabs in it.

So far, health authorities have insisted that there's no link between the jab and Tognatti's death. Officials said a criminal investigation was launched to be "completely sure" that the man's death "cannot be attributed to the above-mentioned inoculation".
Italy, France, Germany and a handful of other nations temporarily suspended the AstraZeneca vaccine after reports of patients developing deadly blood clots surfaced. Deaths were reported in Austria and elsewhere, which prompted Denmark, Iceland and other nations (as far away as Thailand) to halt the jabs to allow for a brief investigation. AstraZeneca and the EMA (Europe's top regulatory authority) have insisted that there's nothing to suggest a link between the jabs and heightened risk for blood clots, but in a press conference Tuesday morning, the agency promised to investigate.
Among the more than 11M Italians who have already been vaccinated, Italian authorities have documented at least 15 cases of blood clots and 22 cases of pulmonary embolis among those who have received the jabs.
AstraZeneca said on Tuesday that it will supply the U.S. government with an additional 500,000 doses of its experimental, long-acting antibody-based Covid-19 combination treatment that aims to protect those who aren’t able to be vaccinated.
The $205 million agreement to supply the treatment—called AZD7442—builds on a deal the Anglo-Swedish drug manufacturer struck last year with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense (DoD).
Under that deal, announced in October, the U.S. invested $486 million for the development and supply of 100,000 doses of AZD7442, with an option to acquire up to an additional one million doses in 2021.
Ireland became the latest country on Sunday to suspend the administration of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by AstraZenaca and Oxford University after a Norwegian regulator reported a few recipients developed blood clots following their doses–mirroring developments in other countries that have taken similar precautions as the vaccine remains under clinical trials in the United States.
Ireland's health department recommended that the administration of AstraZeneca's vaccine be "temporarily deferred" immediately on Sunday morning, citing a report from the Norwegian Medicines Agency that highlighted four instances of "serious blood clotting events" in adults who had received the vaccine.
In a statement, the nation's deputy chief medical officer said it has not concluded that there is "any link" between the vaccine and the cases, but that the decision to suspend its administration was made out of precaution and pending further information.
Other countries, including Iceland, Denmark and Norway, suspended their administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine last week on separate concerns over blood clotting, but the World Health Organization and regional authorities have said there is no evidence the vaccines caused the coagulation.
BREAKING: Tear gas used at Montreal anti-lockdown protest
Police then began deploying teargas with no warning to the crowd. This led to the Westphalian Times editor herself getting hit with a canister of teargas.
Thousands of Quebecois took to the Montreal streets on Saturday in protest of Premier Legault's lockdown measures. These measures are strict and include a 8PM curfew for everyone. Exclusive reporting from the Westphalian Times depicts Service de police de la Ville de Montréal pushing and teargassing protestors.
Westphalian Times editor Marie Oakes estimates around 3,000 - 5,000 attendees at the protest showed up initially, followed by thousands more. Footage shows massive crowds marching down St. Denis in Montreal.
The police were out in full force and used megaphones, warning attendees to socially distance or face fines in the thousands. Eventually, back up arrived and the SPVM began shoving protestors. According to Oakes, one protestor yelled over the intercom, "this is a peaceful protest, you don’t have to do this. People are peaceful here, you’re the violent ones. There’s a woman lying on the ground."

The protest is still on-going. The is a breaking story and will be updated as more information comes in.
The Netherlands has halted use of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine for at least two weeks while an investigation of possibly serious side effects from the jab is undertaken by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The precautionary decision to suspend use of the vaccine until at least March 28 was based on new information from Norway and Denmark regarding potentially serious side effects in people who received the inoculation, Dutch Health Minister Hugo de Jonge said on Sunday.
“We can’t allow any doubts about the vaccine,” de Jonge said. “We have to make sure everything is right, so it is wise to pause for now.” Dutch health authorities reportedly had to cancel 43,000 vaccination appointments because of the suspension.
Ireland made the same decision earlier on Sunday, suspending use of the AstraZeneca vaccine after four new cases of people suffering serious blood clotting after receiving the shot were reported in Norway. Denmark stopped offering AstraZeneca vaccine jabs on Thursday after some recipients developed blood clots, and Norway followed suit.
An anti-lockdown group staged a protest in Denmark’s capital to express their solidarity with an activist who was sentenced to two years behind bars for allegedly inciting violence at an earlier demonstration.
Several hundred members of the ‘Men in Black’ anti-lockdown group took to the streets in Copenhagen on Saturday night, lighting red flares and shouting slogans as they moved through the streets. Some demonstrators played bagpipes and pounded on drums, while others carried a large banner reading “black-clad resistance.”
Footage published by RT’s video agency Ruptly shows the demonstrators, many of them dressed in black, launching fireworks into the air as police escorted the crowd. There were no reports of violence and no arrests were made, according to local media.
Iceland has become the latest European nation to suspend the AstraZeneca jab.
The tiny island nation has confirmed roughly 6,000 COVID cases since the start of the pandemic, which is roughly 2% of the population.
Meanwhile, the EMA (the European equivalent of the FDA) confirmed that it has counted no fewer than 30 incidents of harmful blood clots in patients who received the vaccine, including at least one case in Denmark where the patient died.
The reason for halting the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is due to reports of serious blood clots after vaccination.
As per tweet of writer and skeptic Alex Berenson, this is not the only vaccine that causes adverse effects.
Alex Berenson tweeted “Just wait until they hear what the mRNA vaccines can do… Really, though, the side effect profile of the @astrazeneca vaccine is hardly worse than the mRNA shots, but somehow it has faced much more scrutiny. Follow the politics, I mean science.”
Health minister of Denmark confirmed the suspension of AstraZeneca Jabs via tweet. He said “there’s currently no ways to know for certain whether the cases of serious blood clots are connected to the vaccine, but the situation certainly warrants more investigation. We acted early, it needs to be thoroughly investigated.”
Italian PM Mario Draghi halted a shipment of AstraZeneca jabs to Australia. Health authorities in Italy are suspending jabs from current batch of vaccine. On the other hand, health authorities in London and Brussels dismissed these issues, insisting that this vaccine is safe while going with plans to approve Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose jab.
The EU medicines regulator said it was recommending the vaccine be authorized for all adults over 18 “after a thorough evaluation” of JNJ’s data found the vaccine met the criteria for efficacy, safety and quality. The JNJ jab is the fourth to be licensed for use inside the EU.
Health authorities in Denmark are so much worried about the adverse side effects believed to be related with AstraZeneca vaccine. Now Danish authorities also suspended AstraZeneca shot on Thursday. Many patients have reported cases of blood clots they received after getting vaccinated. This suspension will last for 2 weeks.
As per European medicines agency, there are no evidences that link blood clots with the vaccine. The company said only 22 cases of adverse events have been noticed and approx 3M people have been vaccinated.
One investor claimed Denmark’s suspension of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on blood clot concerns shows “the detection systems that look for potential safety issues are working,” and that most of these “safety events” would ultimately be linked to natural processes, not the jab.
“It’s good to see the safety signal detection systems working and it’s important that any safety signal is followed-up using the correct protocols,” Shore analyst Adam Barker told Bloomberg. Data from the vaccine’s phase three trials suggests that “you would expect that most safety signals won’t ultimately be linked to the vaccine,” he said.
However, “it’s hard to make judgments on the impact on shareholder value,” he added, given there are “a lot of moving parts.” But ultimately, a risk-reward trade-off with any therapy; “you can only confidently make judgments on that decision when all the data is finalized and clear”.
From the NZ branch of Pravda - and instructions to sovereign nations from Big Daddy
Bulgaria, Denmark and Norway are among the countries that have paused (sic) its use.
But on Friday a WHO spokeswoman said there was no link between the jab and an increased risk of developing a clot.
Margaret Harris said it was an "excellent vaccine" and should continue to be used.
Around 5 million Europeans have already received the AstraZeneca jab.
There have been about 30 cases in Europe of "thromboembolic events" - or developing blood clots - after the vaccine was administered. There were also reports that a 50-year-old man had died in Italy after developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
The WHO is investigating the reports, as it does any safety questions, Harris said.
But no causal relationship had been established between the shot and the health problems reported, she said.
On Friday, AstraZeneca said the recorded number of blood clots in vaccinated people was "significantly lower... than would be expected among the general population".
"An analysis of our safety data of more than 10 million records has shown no evidence of an increased risk of pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis," a spokesperson said.
Bulgaria's decision to pause its rollout followed similar steps by Denmark, Iceland and Norway as well as Thailand. Italy and Austria have stopped using certain batches of the drug as a precautionary measure.
The European Medicines Agency, the EU's medicines regulator, said earlier there was no indication the jab was causing the blood clots.
Other countries, including the UK, Germany, Australia and Mexico, have said they are continuing their rollout.
Germany's Health Minister Jens Spahn said he disagreed with the countries suspending the vaccinations.
"From what we know so far, the benefit... is far greater than the risk," he said.
The temporary suspensions come as a setback for a European vaccination campaign that has stuttered into life, partly due to delays in delivery of the doses.
In the latest upset, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz complained that the EU was not distributing coronavirus vaccines fairly among member states - according to population size, as agreed.
He said some countries were striking side deals with vaccine makers instead of leaving procurement to the European Commission.
The German health ministry acknowledged in January that Germany had signed a deal for 30m doses with Pfizer BioNTech in September.
A 65-year-old man in India collapsed and passed away just five minutes after getting first dose of vaccine against covid-19. This is the first post-vaccination death in Goregaon. He reached Millat Nursing Home, Jogeshwari at 3.30 pm and got vaccinated at 3.37 pm. He was injected with 0.5 ml dose of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine Covishield intramuscularly.
He collapsed in the chair and passed away within a few minutes. He was a Goregaon resident and he received the first dose of vaccine from Millat Nursing Home, Jogeshwari.
The authorities said we cannot consider it death due to vaccination till an expert committee reviews it and comes to a conclusion.
BMC said in a statement, “He had several comorbidities, including dilated cardiomyopathy, severe left ventricular dysfunction, hypertension and diabetes mellitus”.
Executive health officer, Dr Mangala Gomare said, the adverse event following AEF will review the case. “We don’t know if it was a case of anaphylactic shock. The committee will opine after looking at all details”.
As per a civic official, the 65-year-old man was administered injection Adrenaline. This injection is mostly used in cases of adverse reactions following vaccination. The man was shifted to ICU for further investigation. He could not survive and died at 5:05 pm.
His body was sent for autopsy at RN Cooper hospital. He was on multiple heart medications as per civic officials.
As per civic officials, more than 4 people got vaccinated in this city and more than 400 people have faced adverse events following vaccination. These side effects are minor, but few of them were hospitalized. State officials did not comment over it yet.
Total 40 deaths have been reported across India after getting vaccination against COVID. But as per officials, none of them was caused by the vaccine itself. Death of a health worker after getting a second vaccine dose has been reported in Bhiwadi last week. He was 40-year-old.
Even some in the independent media have bought into the hype surrounding the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID vaccine and its “non-profit” nature. But once you peel back the layers of obfuscation you quickly find not only the profit motive hiding underneath, but the dark specter of eugenics. Whitney Webb of Unlimited Hangout joins us to discuss her recent article, “Developers of Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaccine Tied to UK Eugenics Movement.”
The following is a set of questions that I have put together for those who are still "sitting on the fence" and who might be persuaded to do their own research. It is, for that reason more conservative than my own personal position.
I hope that you will take this as a resource that you can share with your friends and relatives.
I am emailing it out to everyone I know.

I have been following this for some time and feeling rather uncomfortable about what I was hearing. A video by a rest home worker in the US with a heartfelt cry saying his residents were “droppin like flies” shortly after taking the vaccine made me decide I cannot stay silent
So, I just want to pose the same questions I have asked myself over the past months and invite you to do the research yourself and find your own answers. I do not wish to persuade you of any one viewpoint. I think they are important questions.
Mostly, we get our information from TV sound bites and newspaper articles that do not provide context and often contradict each other, r so we do not get the chance to ask questions.
When we do ask the questions it is often hard to find answers. It takes quite a lot of research as well as a good memory.
I have put in red the items I think warrant a close look
If you find the following useful I would suggest you share it with your friends and ask them to share it with their friends.
If you do not just let it rest there.
COVID-19 TESTING
When covid-19 began to dominate the headlines from March, 2020 there was a lot of reference to testing but on searching I could not find any answers to my questions of what it was and what does it measure? The only answers to the question came from people completely outside the mainstream. This situation has changed quite a bit over the months but to this day the one place I cannot get information is in this country.
We keep hearing that people have tested positive for covid-19. But what does that really mean
Here are some of my questions:
What Is A Covid-19 case?
This is from a (non-practising) GP, Sam Bailey, from Christchurch
The following video is one of the very best explanations that I have come across and comes from a (presumably retired) vice-President of the Pfizer corporation who has impeccable qualifications and yet has been totally censored by the media and social media.
Ex Pfizer Vice President Mike Yeadon Blows The Whistle
Why does this test have to be administered via a catheter up the nose practically to the brain stem, when it is known that other much less-invasive techniques (such as saliva tests) that provide quick answers have not been taken up? In case you don't know, the PCR test is administered by deep insertion of a cotton wool swab with a twisting motion
Why are we not being told about the warnings about the limitations of the PCR test that are on the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) sites.
The extent to which a positive PCR result correlates with the infectious state of an individual is still being determined.”...There is limited evidence available to assess the accuracy and clinical utility of available COVID-19 tests.”
Why have deaths due to "other causes", such as heart attack or even car accidents having "covid-19" put as a cause of death if the person had had a positive covid-19 test?
CDC Now Admits that 94% of COVID Deaths had “Another Cause of Death”
At the outset of the pandemic, the CDC had been instructed to change the methodology regarding Death Certificates with a view to artificially inflating the numbers of “Covid deaths”:
Why are comments from qualified and practising virologists and epidemiologists, as well as doctors not beinglistened to, and dismissed as “conspiracy theory” or disinformation?
How do COVID-19 vaccines compare with other existing vaccines?
The clearest explanation I have found is this that explains that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are not what the media and popular explanations say. If you look at the material from both Pfizer and Moderna they describe their products as “gene therapy” and is an experimental medicine that has either developed in undue haste or was already been developed. As best as I can ascertain the Oxford AstraZenica vaccine is what they say it is, albeit with some caveats.
THE NEW MRNA CORONAVIRUS VACCINES WILL LIKELY CAUSE IMMUNE CELLS TO ATTACK PLACENTA CELLS, CAUSING FEMALE INFERTILITY, MISCARRIAGE OR BIRTH DEFECTS: no
Flu vaccine has been shown to increase the chances of infection by sars-coV-2 by 33%. Why push it?
This is a little-known piece of research cited by Robert F.Kennedy Jr indicating that people in the US military are 36% more prone to being infected with covid=19.
KENNEDY: Pentagon Study Shows Flu Shot Raises Risk Of Coronavirus By 36%, And There’s More:
What follows are some of the more important statements I have come across recently about covid-19 and the vaccines
Mike Yeadon has the perfect credentials and what he says corresponds with the information I got about the immune system while training to be an acupuncturist as opposed to what I get from the media. This is worth, to my mind, a very close listen.
Ex Pfizer Vice President Mike Yeadon Blows The Whistle
This was the video that helped me decide that I could not remain silent. It is a passionate and honest account of a nursing home assistant who decided he could not remain silent but talk of all the deaths that have occured after vaccination of residents whereas in the past year there have been zero deaths.
For me it is sad that these very credible voices are being silenced to the extent they have to seek alternative platforms instead of being part of an open debate.
