Vorpommern-Ruegen distriktsmyndigheder sagde, at arbejderne i Stralsund by modtog fem gange den anbefalede dosis af BioNTech-Pfizer-vaccinen søndag. Fire kom på hospitalet for observation efter udvikling af influenzalignende symptomer.
'Jeg beklager dybt hændelsen. Denne individuelle sag skyldes individuelle fejl. Jeg håber, at alle de berørte ikke oplever alvorlige bivirkninger, "sagde distriktschef Stefan Kerth i en erklæring.
Kommentar: Delvist oversat af Sott.net fra 4 German care workers rushed to hospital after Pfizer coronavirus vaccination, claims that 8 received 'accidental overdose'
The incident came after some German districts declined to use vaccines received over the weekend on suspicion that cold conditions were interrupted during delivery.
Vorpommern-Ruegen authorities pointed to previous statements by BioNtech saying larger doses were tested in the Phase 1 study without serious consequences. There was no immediate comment from the pharmaceutical companies.
Kommentar: In this incident they're claiming that the side effects are due to accidental overdose, but we know that even the standard dose comes with alarming risks. Clearly the authorities are determined to continue with the unnecessary mass vaccination campaigns and so it's likely that many more people will have to suffer before the serious side effects of these experimental vaccines come to light.
