Brazilian health authority Anvisa said on Wednesday that a volunteer in a clinical trial of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University has died, stating it had received data from an investigation into the matter.

The regulator said testing of the vaccine would continue after the volunteer’s death. It provided no further details, citing medical confidentiality of those involved in trials.

The Federal University of Sao Paulo, which is helping coordinate phase 3 clinical trials in Brazil, separately said that the volunteer was Brazilian but did not say where the person lived.The federal government already has plans to purchase the UK vaccine and produce it at its biomedical research center FioCruz in Rio de Janeiro, while a competing vaccine from China’s Sinovac is being tested by Sao Paulo state’s research center Butantan Institute.

Brazil has the second deadliest outbreak of coronavirus, with more than 154,000 killed by COVID-19, following only the United States. It is the third worst outbreak in terms of cases, with more than 5.2 million infected, after the United States and India.

Vaccines should take years.

see this BaddCompani ?

Its fine guys, the vaccine wont be mandatory. You just won't get your food and rent credits until you have it.

Out of the hundreds (perhaps thousands) of COVID19 Patients in the trial, one death is not unusual. Statistically.

And they found no evidence of the vaccine causing it so scam story

Be careful with this.

So sorry for this

Not looking good...

No explanation in this article.

Só pode ser cobaia da CLOROQUINA

this person was in the placebo group no doubt the death certificate will read “covid” though

Died on the placebo arm. Ironically, if they had the Covid vaccine they might still be alive.

Oh my, they can't rush this.

With zero information is it responsible to make a story out of this?
