Just the "Odd side effect" claimed Dr Biotech a while back

”Sweden records more than 30,000 cases of side effects tied to Covid jabs”

As Europe pushes ahead with its vaccination program, the Nordic countries are reporting a surge in damaging side effects. In the country, the tally has surpassed 30K with the majority of these reactions reported in patients who received the AstraZeneca jab

Sweden's Medical Products Agency reported that as of last week, the Scandinavian nation had tallied 31,844 reports of adverse reactions linked to its vaccine rollout

The number of suspected adverse reactions from the two shots seems relatively small when compared to the 19,961 reports linked to AstraZeneca’s Vaxzevria, while the AstraZeneca shot only accounts for about 26% of the roughly 2.7MM vaccines that have been administered so far in Sweden, but makes up around 63% of the side effects reports.

Ebba Hallberg, an official with the Medical Products Agency, told Swedish media that it was unusual to receive so many reports of side effects. She added that the tally was likely higher because of public focus on the new vaccines.To head off complaints that many of the incidences of side effects were minor, she said healthcare providers are likely only reporting the more "serious" side effects.
One Swedish media outlet said the number of complaints filed in just a few months exceeded the number typically filed over 4 years, which underscores the public anxieties about the COVID vaccines.

In March, Sweden was one of several nations to temporarily suspend the use of the AstraZeneca jab, following reports of abnormal blood clotting in recipients. AstraZeneca, as well as the European Medicines Agency, have insisted that the vaccine is safe after it came under scrutiny.

Aiphorn, Sure it wasn't 'Peckham Spring Water'?

With Christmas coming, Del's application to buy the Trotter family's council flat in "Yuppy Love" has finally been granted, albeit rather late and suddenly, meaning he now owns the flat but is not as able to pay the mortgage as he was originally planning to. He also inherits Grandad's old allotment and receives a summons from the council, ordering him to remove a public health hazard from his land. The health hazard turns out to be barrels containing an unknown yellow substance. Del enlists Trigger and Denzil to help him get rid of the yellow liquid, saying he will help them though he wears a diving suit, by transporting it in Denzil's van to the "24-hour" council waste disposal depot (which is closed at night), although they ultimately dump it "in a pond".

Del accompanies Rodney to an organic health food shop owned by a wealthy gardening enthusiast named Myles. When he sees the high price of the store's produce, Del develops an interest in gardening and invites Myles to the allotment to advise him on growing vegetables. At the allotment, Myles notices a mysterious water source - which Del calls the Peckham Spring - and suggests that if the water is pure, it could be bottled and sold. However, unsighted by Myles, Rodney notices that the "spring water" is actually coming from a nearby tap connected to a hose and concealed by rocks. Del instructs Albert to take a sample of the water for laboratory testing but, being part of the scam, Albert uses bottled mineral water instead. The water receives a certificate of purity from Myles' committee, giving Del permission to sell it.

A production line is set up in the Trotters' flat, with Del filling up bottles from his kitchen tap. Peckham Spring Water quickly becomes one of Myles' biggest-selling products, and is given a trial at a major national supermarket. Sales are further boosted by the drought warnings issued by the local water board, who believe there is a serious underground leak due to the high volume of water being used by Del. The Trotters earn enough money for a Christmas holiday at the Grand Hotel, Brighton. In the final scene, as the Trotter Family go to sleep in their hotel rooms, the BBC News reports that Peckham is without water after a local reservoir has been contaminated by the barrels dumped by Del, Denzil, and Trigger. As a blissfully unaware Del switches off the light, a bottle of Peckham Spring on his bedside table glows yellow.

Monty
Sorry if I am being a bit thick, but can you please explain your earlier statement to me It's the second part I don't understand.
"Can’t believe investors sold at 1357p this morning plus they miss out on the dividend ex div tomorrow"

#659. A global brand that can not be sold in one of the biggest soft drinks markets. Something to do with chemicals in the colour I think?

If Elliott pushes for break up surely 2000p a share, they have to make it worth while if they invested billions buying GSK shares.

[meijiman] 19/5/2021 10:45

Elliott home in on companies run by mugs. GSK has been top of this pile for a long while.

I to this day do not understand why G.S.K. sold Lucozade or Ribena.

I was at the A.G.M. the year they were sold.
Shareholder after shareholder asked for an explanation for the sale.

The answers the then C.E.O. gave were complete nonsense, What a useless piece of work he was, at the end of the meeting meeting I approached him to ask about the large amount of shares being held in Treasury, and why the Lucozade and Ribena were sold.

He got really angry, did not answer the question and stormed off.

The company has had poor management for many years, I will not comment on the present management.

Except to say the split in the company is not in the interests of long term shareholders.

What is in interests of long term shareholders is getting competent management, a very difficult ask.

Its the 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation vaccines for Covid that will earn the money. It will be 'acceptable' to charge for these once the pandemic has subsided. The boosters and the multi-valent doses will pave the way forward, especially if they can be combined with the annual flu jabs. GSK (if it still exists) will be at the forefront then.

[montyhedge] 19/5/2021 10:02

Can't believe investors sold at 1357p this morning plus they miss out on the dividend ex div tomorrow, no wonder 90% of traders lose money.

[abdullla] 19/5/2021 09:41

Vaccine is a life saving medicine like all the other medicines GSK makes and consumers pay for them rightly,likewise future vaccines will have to be paid for when the worse is over .

[montyhedge] 19/5/2021 09:13

GSK won't do it for no profit like Astra, they have partners who want to make money.Pfizer profit on vaccine was superb.

[zho] 19/5/2021 09:09

From a couple of days ago:

GSK’s late entry to the vaccine race will help protect it from aggressive investors
