Coronavirus, a series of controversies ranging from concerns over vaccines to demonstrations
Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus epidemic, vaccine production began on an emergency basis around the world, followed by trials and doses of approved vaccines.
From concerns about the safety of these vaccines to delays in delivery and the race to get vaccinated as soon as possible, there have been a number of controversies over-vaccination in a single year.
Vaccine Nationalism:
First of all, the richest countries in the world were accused of stockpiling vaccines. The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Gibrios, has repeatedly called on rich nations to ensure that the vaccine is distributed evenly, as it will not be possible to get rid of the disease until the vaccine reaches all countries around the world.
He said in a statement in January that "rich countries have stocks of vaccines while developing countries of the world have to wait (for vaccines)."
Stress on vaccine delivery:
Relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom over the AstraZeneca vaccine have been strained since the start of shipments of approved vaccines in early 2021.
The European Union (EU) has accused Britain of blocking exports of the AstraZeneca vaccine and threatened to cut off EU-supplied food to the UK.
The United States and India have also been accused of blocking vaccines manufactured in their countries.
Vaccine side effects:
The potential side effects of the vaccine have also caused controversy, with complaints of blood clots after the Astrazineka vaccine was administered.
Following the reporting of these complaints, the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine was stopped in March in many countries.
Some people who have been vaccinated with Bio-N-Tech and Moderna vaccines have been diagnosed with heartburn and the use of these vaccines has increased the risk of myocarditis.
Many countries have also issued instructions to young people to stop using the modern vaccine.
Violent Demonstrations:
The past six months have seen violent protests in many countries after health passes were made mandatory for travel. Without these passes, entry to restaurants, entertainment venues and travel on buses were prohibited.
