Canada tosses over 24 million expired COVID shots Source: (https://bit.ly/3EFJNe9) The Canadian government has discarded almost 25 million doses of COVID-19 shots from various manufacturers as demand for inoculation against the novel coronavirus has plummeted. The National Post reported Friday that 7.7 million doses of Moderna's mRNA-based COVID shot have now been disposed of after reaching their expiry date, up from 1.2 million discarded doses in June. Federal government data show a further 3.1 million Novavax COVID jabs have also been thrown out from an order of 9.7 million, alongside 13.6 million doses of AstraZeneca's serum. However, the total number of discarded vaccines may be higher, for the data set does not account for shots which expired after being delivered to provincial governments. Of the 9.7 million Novavax vaccines purchased, only a fraction, just 117,000, were ever distributed, while the majority of the nation's 20 million AstraZeneca shots were left in storage after reports confirmed the Oxford-designed vaccine had been linked to dangerous blood clotting. Indeed, studies have indicated that COVID vaccines are much more likely to cause injuries than to protect from infection with the virus, particularly in young adults. A recent study from Germany found "strong associations" between COVID inoculation and a drop in fertility. "The implementations of these [vaccination] programmes in both Germany and Sweden coincide very well with a distinct change in fertility levels exactly nine months later," the study reads, adding that "[t]he fertility rates remained at a reduced level during the entire first half of 2022."
