Since the outbreak of the pandemic, AstraZeneca's Vaxzevria vaccine has been one of the most important weapons in the global fight against the pandemic.
But recently, due to the increasing number of new vaccines on the market and safety concerns about the original vaccines, the company decided to halt its supply and production globally.

AstraZeneca was widely used in the fight against COVID-19 after it changed its name to Vaxzevria in 2021. However, the vaccine was found to cause a rare but serious side effect – thrombosis and thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). Coupled with the advent of the new vaccine, the demand for Vaxzevria has dropped significantly.

An AstraZeneca spokesperson said: "We believe that with the advent of vaccines that are more effective against new variants, it is time to close the Vaxzevria chapter.

Personal opinion
In the face of a global pandemic like COVID, pharmaceutical companies have really played the role of superheroes, and they are busy developing and producing vaccines to help us fight the virus.
However, this role is not so easy to play, because they have to help people at the same time, but also have to consider whether the company can continue to operate, which involves a lot of complex issues.
There are a few big things that pharmaceutical companies have to do:
1. Make sure the vaccine is safe and effective: First, pharmaceutical companies need to ensure that their vaccines are not only usable, but also safe and do not cause serious side effects. This is the basic point, and it is also their primary responsibility.
2. Open the skylight and speak up: They also have to be transparent about the progress of vaccine development, including possible side effects, so that everyone can feel confident about getting vaccinated.
3. Make it affordable for everyone: Many parts of the world, especially poor countries, are also in dire need of vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies have to find a way to make vaccines affordable for people in these places, otherwise the virus will not be controlled and the world will not be safe.
Balancing interests and responsibilities:
Pricing issues: They cost a lot of money to produce vaccines, so they have to make money to keep them running. The question is how to price the vaccine so that it covers the cost without making the vaccine unaffordable.
Patent rights: Patents often protect pharmaceutical companies' innovations from being copied so that they have an incentive to develop new drugs. But in an emergency like the pandemic, sharing patents could be more conducive to controlling the rapid spread of the pandemic if it allows more companies to produce vaccines.
Political and market pressures: Pharmaceutical companies are not just scientific research institutions, they also have to survive in different political and economic environments around the world. They can be affected by national laws, policies and market demands.
Pharmaceutical companies do have a great responsibility in this global health crisis, and every decision they make could affect the health of hundreds of millions of people around the world.
How to help the world while still protecting the interests of their own companies requires them to find a good balance between ethics, business and social responsibility.
By acting transparently and openly, pharmaceutical companies can not only earn the trust of the public, but also ensure their commercial success.
