Should I be worried about the Oxford/AstraZenica Covid vaccine? Your questions answered
THE benefits of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine continue to outweigh any risks, according to the UK medicines regulator, though under-30s will be offered an alternative jab.
That vote of confidence has been backed up by the European medicines watchdog which ruled that unusual blood clots were “very rare side effects” of the jab.
Some other European countries have restricted the vaccine’s use in younger people following reports of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a specific type of clot that prevents blood from draining from the brain, as well as low platelet counts – cells that help blood clot. However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said people should follow the regulator’s advice and keep getting their jabs.

How Asia Came to Dominate Chipmaking and What the U.S. Wants to Do About It

But a global semiconductor shortage and geopolitical tensions with China have bolstered Washington's scrutiny of the supply chain, which is concentrated in the hands of a small number of players, and has created a drive to bring manufacturing back to American soil to regain leadership.
The U.S. has earmarked billions of dollars and is reportedly looking at alliances with other nations.
Semiconductors are critical to everything from cars to the smartphones we use. And they have also been thrust into the center of U.S.-China tensions.
