The Dutch government announced the move saying the suspension would begin immediately and remain in place until at least March 29. Health minister Hugo de Jonge said: "Based on new information from Norway and Denmark, we are pausing the administration of the AstraZeneca corona vaccine for two weeks as a precautionary measure and pending further investigation."
The move comes after Norway's health authorities said on Saturday that three health workers who had recently received the vaccine had experienced severe side effects.

A dose of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine. Ireland's deputy chief medical officer stressed that there was no proof it had caused blood clots.
Ireland is suspending use of the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine as a precautionary measure following further reports of blood clots in people who have received it, this time from Norway.
The deputy chief medical officer, Dr Ronan Glynn, said Ireland's advisory body on vaccines had recommended that deployment of the AstraZeneca jab should be "temporarily deferred" with immediate effect. He stressed, though, that there was no proof that the vaccine had caused blood clots.
The pause in Ireland's use of the AstraZeneca vaccine came as the head of the UK's Office for National Statistics, Prof Sir Ian Diamond, said he had "no doubt" there would be a further wave of coronavirus infections in the autumn.
Comment: The AstraZeneca jab seems to be particularly problematic:

- Switzerland bans AstraZeneca vaccine over lack of safety data, Europe refusing jab for older people over safety concerns

Stronger interferon production, greater T cell activation, and increased susceptibility to autoimmunity are just some of the ways that females seem to differ from males.
Evidence of the gap has continued to emerge as COVID-19 datasets have expanded. For instance, data aggregated by The Sex, Gender and COVID-19 Project indicate that, although statistics vary substantially among countries around the world, men with the disease are around 20 percent more likely to be hospitalized than women. Once hospitalized, men are more likely to require intensive care, and once there, they're more likely to die.
Comment: Evidently if the sciences continue to allow post-modern thought (such as 'gender-fluidity') to warp their field of study the opportunity for discoveries will be stunted and, ultimately, the consequences will be deadly:
- Sex-specific Alzheimer's treatment found to benefit males but not females
- How genetics is proving that race is not necessarily a social construct
- Rheumatic diseases: The cost of survival during the Little Ice Age
- Post-nihilism, a template for where we are heading
- The gender identity concept came from a pedophile and human experimenter
The development comes a day after the European Medicines Agency said it was investigating a separate issue of blood clots that prompted Denmark to suspend use of the jab, but said it remained safe to use.
The Amsterdam-based EMA said it had "recommended an update to the product information to include anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity (allergic reactions) as side effects".

A healthcare worker wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) stands next to a patient at the temporary wards dedicated to the treatment of possible COVID-19 coronavirus patients at Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa, 19 January 2021.
Extrapolating from antibody testing on blood donors, the researchers found antibody levels of 63% in Eastern Cape province (EC), 46% in Free State (FS), 52% in KwaZulu Natal (ZN) and 32% in Northern Cape (NC). These figures were between 15 and 22 times higher than the percentage of the population that had tested positive for the virus to date.
Comment: Looks like South African study has inadvertently proven again the immune system of healthy individuals was perfectly capable of handling the latest of the ever-mutating family of coronaviruses. And that social interaction is what made the attenuation of its lethality possible.

Electrical impulses could speed wound healing by triggering better permeability in blood vessels, a new study shows.
The study, published in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Lab on a Chip, found that steady electrical stimulation generates increased permeability across blood vessels, providing new insight into the ways new blood vessels might grow.
The electrical stimulation provided a constant voltage with an accompanying electric current in the presence of fluid flow. The findings indicate that stimulation increases permeability of the blood vessel — an important characteristic that can help wound-healing substances in the blood reach injuries more efficiently.
Comment: The idea that electromagnetic energy permeates and affects all aspects life, from space to the human body to plantlife, has been a point of speculation and experimentation for centuries, and in recent years there's been a resurgence in this area of research:

- Bees use shark 'supersense' to help find food
- Tomato plants send electrical signals to each other through fungi
- 'Electric mud' teems with new, mysterious bacteria that may rewrite textbooks
- Scientists seek to understand how cells follow electric fields

The letter describes serious potential consequences of COVID-19 vaccine technology, warning of possible autoimmune reactions, blood clotting abnormalities, stroke and internal bleeding, "including in the brain, spinal cord and heart".
The authors request evidence that each medical danger outlined "was excluded in pre-clinical animal models with all three vaccines prior to their approval for use in humans by the EMA."
"Should all such evidence not be available", the authors write, "we demand that approval for use of the gene-based vaccines be withdrawn until all the above issues have been properly addressed by the exercise of due diligence by the EMA."
The letter is addressed to Emer Cooke, Executive Director of the EMA, and was sent on Monday 1 March 2021. The letter was copied to the President of the Council of Europe and the President of the European Commission.
According to a new book by Dr Shanna Shaw, Count Down, the male sperm count in Western industrial countries, including the EU and USA, is falling at a dramatic rate. Shaw estimates that over the past four decades the average sperm count has dropped by 50% or more. In other words a young male today seeking to have a family has only half the sperm count his grandfather did, half the chance to conceive. Shaw estimates that unless toxic chemical exposures in agriculture and the environment are dramatically altered, we may not have the ability to reproduce naturally much longer, and that by 2050 most human beings in the industrial countries, including China, will need technological assistance to procreate.

Parents' Mental, Physical Health Impacted Since Start of Pandemic
APA's survey of U.S. adults, conducted in late February 2021 by The Harris Poll, shows that a majority of adults (61%) experienced undesired weight changes - weight gain or loss -- since the pandemic started, with 42% reporting they gained more weight than they intended. Of those, they gained an average of 29 pounds (the median amount gained was 15 pounds) and 10% said they gained more than 50 pounds, the poll found. Such changes come with significant health risks, including higher vulnerability to serious illness from the coronavirus. For the 18% of Americans who said they lost more weight than they wanted to, the average amount of weight lost was 26 pounds (the median amount lost was 12 pounds). Adults also reported unwanted changes in sleep and increased alcohol consumption. Two in 3 (67%) said they have been sleeping more or less than desired since the pandemic started. Nearly 1 in 4 adults (23%) reported drinking more alcohol to cope with their stress.
Comment: The Netherlands has joined Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Thailand and Ireland in suspending the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
