Prophet David Mbewe of Living Word Evangelistic Church has told President Lazarus Chakwera to swiftly look into reports that AstraZeneca vaccine for Covid-19, expected to be a mainstay of protection, is shrouded in controversy as more countries limit its use over concerns that it causes blood clots.
Prophet David Mbewe: There could be something very wrong with the vaccine
Mbewe, who heads the Freedom of Worship Association Movement, said these reports should not be completely dismissed.
The Netherlands joined a growing list of about a dozen places, including northern Italy and Ireland, moving to suspend the shot over concerns about possible side effects from two batches.
A religious grouping under the banner Freedom of Worship Association Movement has advised president Lazarus Chakwera to seriously look into global reports that the AstraZeneca vaccine is causing blood-clot.
Reports by international media outlets like Al Jazeera have indicated that over 30 people in Europe have developed blood clots after being inoculated AstraZeneca vaccine.
Currently, countries such as Spain, France, Germany, Indonesia and Italy have suspended the roll out of the vaccine due to varied side effects, with blood clotting dominating the reports.
Prophet David Mbewe, President of the Association questioned why only ordinary citizens are developing complications when leaders of those countries have received the same vaccine.
