Defiant Britons have today insisted they are not fazed by Europe's 'scaremongering' against the AstraZeneca vaccine, as they backed the UK's scientists as 'the best in the world'. Fourteen countries across the continent have now turned their backs on the Oxford University-researched jab in a knee-jerk reaction over unproven blood clot fears. France, Italy, Germany and Spain are among the countries to have stopped using the vaccine, despite EU regulators insisting there was no proof the vaccine causes dangerous side-effects. And Britons backed the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab today, which has already been rolled-out problem-free to millions across the country. Some who have already had the jab vouched for it, while others said they would be happy to take it as the UK's scientists are the 'best in the world'.
