. @AstraZeneca needs to IMMEDIATELY DISCLOSE exactly what is going on with their coronavirus vaccine trial. We're getting word that the "unexpected adverse reaction in a participant" is a female hospitalized with transverse myelitis that includes loss of use of her hands & feet.
The @nytimes confirms that transverse myelitis is the "unexpected adverse reaction".

"a volunteer in the U.K. trial had been found to have transverse myelitis, an inflammatory syndrome that affects the spinal cord & is often sparked by viral infections."

If "transverse myelitis" is indeed the adverse reaction then @AstraZeneca lied to @statnews when they claimed that the pause is "a routine action" & that the "participant is expected to recover." Nothing routine about this. & they simply do not know if the patient will recover.
@nytimes cont'd:

"AstraZeneca’s vaccine relies on a chimpanzee adenovirus that has been modified to carry coronavirus genes into human cells...

Adenoviruses can trigger their own immune responses, which could harm the patient without generating the intended form of protection."
How are @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris gonna explain this? The problem is not Trump. This is @UniofOxford.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission needs to open an investigation into whether @AstraZeneca has properly disclosed, to investors and the public, everything that it knows about the harms of this vaccine.
