There is a growing movement to suspend the use of the new coronavirus vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca in the UK due to safety concerns. Shipments of the company’s vaccines have been delayed, which has become a major political problem in Europe. Meanwhile, in Germany, the ruling party suffered a major defeat in local elections. Here are five pieces of news to keep in mind as you start your day.
Use stop
There are already more than 10 countries in EuropeVaccination with AstraZeneca was discontinued and Ireland stopped using it on the 14th. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) says there are no signs of a problem, but there have been several reports of serious thrombotic problems after vaccination, and there are measures to suspend its use outside of Europe, such as Thailand. The company argued yesterday that there was no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots.
The defeat of history
In two German statesThe ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Chancellor Merkel, suffered its worst postwar defeat in state legislative elections. Dissatisfaction with the government over the response to the new crown and the slowness of vaccination was reflected in the electoral results. According to exit polls, the CDU’s participation decreased in Baden-Württemberg, while the “Greens” increased their votes to maintain their position as the first party. The electoral turnout of the CDU also declined in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Hard to understand
Anthony from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)Fauci noted that the reluctance of some people to receive the new corona vaccine poses a significant risk to controlling the infection. In particular, when asked about the poll results that many male Republican supporters did not want to be vaccinated, they responded that they were “difficult to understand.” “Political beliefs must be separated from common sense and trivial issues,” he said.
Controllable
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen explained the risk of inflation: “I think there is a small risk, but it is controllable.” “It’s a temporary move,” he said, although some prices will rebound. Regarding the labor market, he said: “I hope that if we defeat the pandemic, we will be able to return to almost full employment next year.”
Unaffected by rising interest rates
Stock ExchangeProfessionals have not been swayed by the increased volatility associated with rising interest rates. According to a Bloomberg News survey of market players, they are watching the pace of yield growth and why, but are wary of hitting certain levels that could be a turning point in the stock market. They are paying attention to a strong recovery in economic and business profits. As the major central banks continue their accommodative monetary policy, the bull market in equities is expected to continue to advance.
