AstraZeneca withdrew its Vaxzevria vaccine for commercial reasons - it was old and outdated, and was no longer being manufactured or supplied. This decision had nothing to do with very rare TTS side effect, which was discovered and publicly revealed in March-April 2021. https://www.techarp.com/science/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-withdraw/ https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/astrazeneca-withdraw-covid-vaccine-worldwide-telegraph-reports-2024-05-07/ https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/08/business/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-withdrawal/index.html
