The Alsatian doctor says he was able to vaccinate 150 patients in March with the AstraZeneca serum, against only thirty since the beginning of April. This decrease in the number of first-time vaccinees in his office is explained, according to him, by growing mistrust of the vaccine, following a few cases of thrombosis and its suspension "as a precaution" by the health authorities at the half-March. "The doubt is there among patients, they are now afraid of thrombosis, while the risk is 1 per 100,000 vaccines," recalls the doctor. “As soon as a drug is suspended for a few days to sort things out, the damage is done,” continues Dr. Vogt.
