Italy has admitted its suspension of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine was
a ‘political’ move, amid fury at several EU nations who have halted the
jabs over unproven fears of blood clots.

The revelation comes as the EU’s medicines regulator confirmed there
is ‘no indication’ that the AstraZeneca vaccine is the cause of reported
blood clots.

It continues: "Nicola Magrini, the head of Italian medicines regulator
AIFA, said politicians came under pressure to follow Germany and France
in calling off the jabs.

So was Germany's action political, or do they think they have a good
medical reason, even if only precautionary.

I think that's the only question.

Suggesting that for Italy it was political sound like it was to harm the
country where AZ is made, maybe to retaliate for an unrelated injury to
Italy.

I don't think imitating Germany, even if caused by political pressure,
is political, certainly not if Italy doesn't know that Germany is wrong.

How long will it take to look at the data sufficiently? .
