The Air Rescue Team of FEMERAID International informs all our members, Knights and Dames of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, Federation of the Autonomous Priories (KMFAP) about the followings:

We know that many people are still afraid of taking the vaccines produced by AstraZeneca and J&J. Some people hesitate due to the reported possibility of the much discussed, but also very rare, thrombolytic events.

We would like to share data on the results of the last 6 months in the USA. This will help us clearly understand the ‘Benefits vs Damages’ of being inoculated with these vaccines.

Out of 9.8 million vaccines of AstraZeneca administered in the US, the reports of such cases are as follows:

26 thrombolytic events,

24 cases in the age group 18-49 years,

2 cases in over 50s,

Death in 4 cases.

The report also concludes that these vaccines prevented 2,236 intensive care admissions and 1,435 deaths. The numbers in favour of taking these vaccines are overwhelming and leave no room for doubts regarding their efficacy. Regardless of what vaccine is available, provided and approved by International Regulatory Bodies, it should be accepted and administered. Everyone SHOULD and MUST be vaccinated against COVID-19!

Keep safe.
