Brain imaging before and after Covid-19 in UK Biobank

Because the whole pandemic became politicized, and majority decisions are actually driven by politics. The countries are going against the narrative that they are purposefully trying to kill people with vaccines as a method of population control.

There was also heavy disinformation campaign against AZ because AZ was the only non-profit vaccine made and its presence was standing in the way of Sputnik V being introduced into EU[1]. J&J has similar issues and it wasn't affected as much. Pfizer[2][3] was also targeted similarly, but the problem was that not much could be found on mRNA vaccines. I guess the worst one was some inflammation of hart in young people that resolves on its own.

I don't think so, because the Norwegian government made that decision based on a risk/reward analysis by their own public health institute. COVID deaths in the female under 40 group are group are exceedingly rare, likely more so than (lethal) DVT in the vaccinated. It wasn't necessarily a popular decision.

The "Russian disinformation" argument doesn't really work either, because Russia targeted mRNA vaccines specifically. The Sputnik vaccine (in theory) has the same problem as the AZ and J&J vaccines, also being based on viral vectors.
