Bomb Squad Surrounds AstraZeneca Plant, Site Partiallly Evacuated

Link As if AstraZeneca's squabbles with the EU and its pharma regulator weren't bad enough, British police have dispatched a bomb squad to the the industrial estate where the AstraZeneca vaccine is made. According to the BBC, police are dealing with an ongoing incident in North Wales where AZ's Wrexham Industrial estate is located. The site now has a cordon that was reportedly placed near the Wrexhm Industrial estate. Police said a cordon had been placed around the Wockhardt plant and the public have been asked to keep away. There are no reports of any injuries.

The plant was reportedly evacuated after it received a suspicious package: "Upon expert advice we have partially evacuated the site pending a full investigation. All relevant authorities were immediately notified and engaged. Upon expert advice we have partially evacuated the site pending a full investigation," he said. "The safety of our employees and business continuity remain of paramount importance." The Wrexham plant has the capability to produce around 300MM doses of the vaccine a year.

Wockhardt UK entered an agreement in August to help prepare the vaccine for distribution, and the Welsh Government said there had been "no adverse effects" on the coronavirus vaccine roll-out.

I'd be careful over there if I were you. There are some angry mofos who are tired of being locked down. Need I mention their history of being adept at bomb-making? LMAO

What is this? The third vaccine producer that's been given a wake-up call? I'd be looking for another job if I was in that line of work. Matter of time before people realize buildings are quite hard as targets, but human tissue is soft.

Yes, please educate us on the bomb making prowess of the British people.

Like many U.S citizens, I would suggest you do not have the faintest idea, but you read about the troubles in Northern Ireland and all of a sudden we are all bomb making experts.

Maybe it is the Palestinians, Yemenis or Syrians, who have essentially been left out the planned delivery of the vaccines. Capitalism doesn’t exist in those countries, so they can just go away and suffer. Preferably in silence.

Yes, indeed. Your country has been 'enriched' with diversity.

But isn’t that what you are always complaining the U.S has become?

When people’s homes have been destroyed by western country’s bombs, unfortunately the displaced people look to come to our homelands. After all, they have been told that the west is such a wonderful place to live, and that all other countries should hold our way of living as a bastion above all others.

He was a fine bomb designer.

Fire Rips Through COVID-19 Vaccine Plant in India

Fire erupted Thursday in a building under construction in India that is owned by the world’s largest vaccine maker, but the company said it would not affect production of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The fire broke out at a Serum Institute of India (SII) building in the western city of Pune.

“I would like to reassure all governments & the public that there would be no loss of COVISHIELD production due to multiple production buildings that I had kept in reserve to deal with such contingencies,” Poonawalla tweeted.

SII has been contracted to produce a billion does of the vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University.

All the news articles for this story repeat this line: "Production of Covid-19 vaccines unaffected." I'm betting lies & cover-up.

The Serum Institute of India has also reached an agreement with Novavax for the development and commercialisation of Novavax’s NVX-CoV2373 COVID‑19 vaccine candidate in India and other low and middle-income countries.

Novavax Announces $1.6 Billion Funding from Operation Warp Speed

GAITHERSBURG, Md., July 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX), a late stage biotechnology company developing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, today announced that it has been selected to participate in Operation Warp Speed (OWS), a U.S. government program that aims to begin delivering millions of doses of a safe, effective vaccine for COVID-19 in 2021. Novavax has been awarded $1.6 billion by the federal government to complete late-stage clinical development, including a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial; establish large-scale manufacturing; and deliver 100 million doses of NVX‑CoV2373, Novavax’ COVID-19 vaccine candidate, as early as late 2020. NVX‑CoV2373 consists of a stable, prefusion protein made using its proprietary nanoparticle technology and includes Novavax’ proprietary Matrix‑M™ adjuvant.

[...]Phase 1 clinical trial results expected in July of 2020. NanoFlu™, its quadrivalent influenza nanoparticle vaccine, met all primary objectives in its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in older adults. Both vaccine candidates incorporate Novavax’ proprietary saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant in order to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies.

NVX‑CoV2373 + Matrix = Warp Speed into alternate tracking reality.

Funded in part by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Yea, nothing to see here folks.

Bro,this is my local town!
I can't remember the last good news I heard from that place..
Its a Spice town these days,with real spice zombies on every corner.

The other recent bizarre news from the town is that Ryan Reynolds is buying a big chunk of their football club.

Maybe they could send Deadpool in to diffuse the bomb?


(In all likleyhood its not a bomb,but could be some antivaxxers sent a fake-Just my opinion)


If we were not on lockdown I would have gone to try to get some pics-but I would get arrested for breaking quarantine.
Never thought I would write such words...

I always love that line...."Police have asked people to stay away".
I get human curiosity but who says "òooh, a possible bomb! Let's all crowd around really close and stare at it because nothing bad ever happens with bombs, does it?".

Flooding at the plant last week, with major Emergency Services presence (to try and save stockpiles rather than hold back any water). Bomb squad this week.

I'm down for Cthulu rising from the depths next week to threaten the plant. How about anyone else?

That's us as a species though, isn't it? If we found a big red button in the middle of the Atlantic saying "Really don't push this, doom for the planet if pushed" i'd give it about 20 minutes.........

The government has decided that the spice must flow...its an embarrasment to see people acting like clickers from "The Last of Us."
I feel bad for people who use it-on the surface it looks like a bigger problem than other hard drugs.

Isn't it great to know the same idiots in the government who facilitated the spice epidemic through their badly thought through drug policy are the ones who are in charge of getting us out of the pandemic?

Its not exactly confidence inspiring is it?

Your mate is quite correct
Seems to me the government put most of their efforts into trying to create the illusion that they are competent and in control rather than making decisions for the prosperity of the nation.
At this point we would probably be better governed by a bag of rotted cabbages.
