The jockeys competed on the opening day of the Fansipan horse race with the theme of Horseshoe on the Clouds in June 2019. (Photo: Quoc Khanh/VNA) Not a commercial, not a professional race, the Horse Racing Festival in Bac Ha is a race of farmers and racehorses are also pack horses. On May 31, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism gave Bac Ha horse racing festival (Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province) on the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage. This is considered a great opportunity for Lao Cai province to preserve the unique cultural features in the Northwest highlands. For those who have been born and raised in the “white plateau” land of Bac Ha, Lao Cai, it seems that the daily “sweeping piles… thumping” sounds of the horse-drawn carriages beat on the winding hill roads. , especially at night in the morning, in the afternoon sun or cool afternoon, has been deeply ingrained in the subconscious. The familiar sound of horse hooves also reminds the children of Bac Ha who have been away from home for a long time to be impressed by the traditional horse racing tournament that has existed for hundreds of years in this locality. In the sunny summer days when the hillsides of the Bac Ha highland are full of red plums, it is also the time when the pack horses, the “barefoot knights” temporarily put aside their daily farming work, eagerly preparing to participate in the traditional horse racing tournament – a sports tournament imbued with the traditional cultural beauty of the highland ethnic groups in Lao Cai. In the highland districts Lao Cai The horse is both a close friend and an important daily means of transportation. Every day, in the mornings that have not yet cleared the dew, even though it is still cold, horses still work hard to help the Mong family carry farming tools, fertilizers, and seeds to the fields. In the evening, when the sun shines through the western mountains, it is also the time when horses patiently carry the harvested products from the fields to home. Upland mountain roads are steep and winding, rocky mountains are bumpy, only a horse – a close friend, can help the Mong people sow corn and rice grains on the top of the mountain, and the slopes are precarious. Horse is a friend in everyday life but also a sacred animal in the religious life of the Mong people. The horse is the only thing that transforms into a stretcher to bring the dead to eternity. Only the horse has enough mystical power to carry the Hmong shaman to the heavens, the earth, and the rivers and seas to find the souls of the sick and heal the Hmong. According to Ms. Chu Thi Duong, Vice Chairwoman of Bac Ha District People’s Committee, maintaining the Bac Ha Traditional Horse Racing Tournament is one of the local efforts to honor the fine cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities. Bac Ha highland in general and praised the unique and emotional attachment between upland people and animals that are extremely attached and familiar in their daily life and spiritual life. Click to see standard size. According to history, the Bac Ha horse race is usually held in the spring on a regional scale. In 1975, Bac Ha held a parade with over 200 horses going around the central area to celebrate the liberation of the South and reunification of the country. In the spring of 1980, Bac Ha District Team (Military Command) organized a horse race, shooting to choose good horsemen and gunners to join the militia and transport food by road. After that, Bac Ha did not organize another tournament. In 2007, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament was officially restored. Since then, the award has become an annual festival of Bac Ha district, held once a year, meeting the needs of people to enjoy the cultural and spiritual life, contributing to the preservation and promotion of cultural and sports traditions of ethnic minorities in Bac Ha; promote the image of people, travel Bac Ha to traveler at home and abroad, becoming a highlight to attract tourists to Bac Ha. The previous Bac Ha horse racing festival took place around fields and hills, and ended up in a field in the center of town. When nearly reaching the finish line, the horsemen quickly jumped to the ground, pulled the flintlock on their shoulders and aimed at the target, fired 5 shots, then snatched the red ball, jumped on the horse and returned to the starting point. Whoever is both fast and hits the target the most is the winner. Today, the horse race in Bac Ha is no longer a shooting competition, the jockeys also have a separate arena, the race is organized and more attractive to viewers. Not a commercial, not a professional race, horse racing in Bac Ha is a race of farmers and racehorses are pack horses. In particular, horse racing in Bac Ha is “carpentry racing,” where jockeys ride on horseback without a saddle, without pedals, but only with a belt to tie the horse, two iron hooks tied to the ropes on either side of the jaw to control. In the process of participating in the competition, looking at the jockeys crouching on the backs of the “strong horses” are galloping to see the difficulty and courage of the horsemen on the track. Mr. Vang Van Huynh, a jockey who has won 2 consecutive championships (in 2012 and 2013), shared that when competing, he also needs to observe the opponent’s horse to control the horse, and at the same time, keep a distance to avoid the horse jostling. Collisions can cause accidents: “Sit firmly on your back to control the horse when running. When cornering, pull the reins and slow down to avoid falling. When the road is straight, release the reins and spur the horse to run at full speed. force.” Every year, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament attracts a lot of domestic and foreign tourists to attend. The audience experienced all kinds of emotions: holding their breath when a horse ran too far out of the yard, running towards the barrier; Get your heart racing when a jockey falls off his horse on the track or burst with joy when the horses race past their opponents spectacularly. Mr. Sung Seo Using (Su Man Khang village, Ta Van Chu commune, Bac Ha district) with a long history of raising famous horses in Bac Ha said: “A good horse for racing must be a male horse with a tall body, long hooves, straight, smooth hair, fast sharp eyes, wide chest, slim belly, long and even running steps.Choose a horse to go racing, the legs must be straight, the hooves are thick… if the toenails protrude like a duck’s foot, the horse runs poorly.” On the racetracks of the Bac Ha Traditional Horse Race, the impression left on visitors is always the overflowing excitement and admiration for the brave and simple local ethnic boys, along with the Powerful racing horses bring to the audience attractive performances and hot competitions. Those are the unforgettable experiences in the hearts of every visitor when once coming to the Bac Ha plateau.

After more than an hour of traveling from Hanoi, the whole group was bathed in the cool, misty air on top of Tam Dao mountain. The sweltering sun that heralded summer the past few days had completely disappeared. The whole group cheered when the car stopped and rushed down to take advantage of “hunting clouds”, enjoying the cool taste at an altitude of more than 1,300 meters above sea level. The time budget is not generous, the early morning dew will dissipate quickly when the sun rises, the car continues to carry us with cold thin mists from the top of the mountain slowly to Tay Thien mountain. Belief in worshiping Quoc Mau Tay Thien has been included in the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage. (Photo: Pham Anh Tuan) The sacred place of Ky Son Not to disappoint us, Tay Thien spiritual tourist-scenic area appears to be a mountainous area with beautiful features in the middle of a majestic natural place. This place converges all kinds of waterfalls, streams, along with ancient temples and pagodas, which are adorned with brilliant yellow linden trees. The best thing is that in the middle of the season change, the endemic peony bushes of Tam Dao are still springing with purple myrtle bushes racing to call Summer. In the sound of the wind, is the harmony of the waterfall, creating a charming scene in the midst of the vast mountains and forests. The first impression that came to us was the Thong Temple of Thien An Pagoda with the nine-root banyan tree – an ancient natural structure that has stood between heaven and earth for hundreds of years on this land. The banyan tree is like a conductor of the sacred mountains here. BILLION The sound of leaves whispering tells us about the legend of the origin of Buddhism that appeared here from the 3rd century BC to the belief of Mother Goddess – Tay Thien Lang Thi Tieu – Chinh Vuong consort of Hung. The Seventh Emperor. It can be said that the interference between the beliefs of Mother Goddess worship and Buddhism of this historical and cultural relic complex immediately made us fascinated with the very mysterious features of Tay Thien. But this is just a place to stop before climbing the pass and wading streams up to Thuong Temple – the place to worship Quoc Mau on the top of Tay Thien mountain. In the past, it took half a day to climb the pass, wade through streams, even have to swing the forest rope to reach the Upper Temple with a distance of more than 3km. Today, trams take visitors from Temple Thong to the foot of the mountain, taking only five minutes, and a modern cable car system will take visitors to enjoy Tay Thien from above for another 10 minutes. Only 15 minutes, our group reached Co temple, Cau temple halfway up the mountain. From here, everyone has to try the flexibility of their feet for another 15 minutes of incline, sometimes up to 60-70 degrees to reach the sacred Thuong Temple – located on the top of the cloud-covered Tay Thien mountain. Community place Our group stopped at the Mau temple, respectfully offered incense. The voice of the prose singing chau van swan: “Vietnam has a thousand Dong Lo / The North has Tay Thien mountain. Follow the world’s memories/Three saints and saints of Christmas help life./The people of Son Dinh are home/See a wise man./Mother is in charge of incense smoke/I pray for peace and harmony in the country. “. Oh, it turns out that Kim Oanh’s Congregation for the Holy Mother of bronze bar Kim Oanh from Hanoi is doing community activities here, performing the price of Tay Thien Mother to speak about the merits of helping King Hung expand his territory, teach people to grow wet rice, and military graves, strengthening the reign of Quoc Mau. We were silent when enjoying this special cultural space. Indeed, the heritage of worshiping Quoc Mau Tay Thien is not only a cultural symbol of Vinh Phuc province but also carries many values ​​of history, culture, patriotic tradition, and unity of the peoples. strong against foreign invaders. Now, the worship of the Tay Thien Mother Goddess has been included in the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage and Tam Dao district is requesting to be established – completing the dossier requesting UNESCO to register social practices and beliefs. worshiping Tay Thien Mother here is the representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity. With that awareness, Tay Thien Spiritual Tourist Area is one of the few tourist destinations that no longer have the scene to attract visitors and along with it are hundreds of workers who are preserving and beautifying the landscape here. As one of the places of community activities of Mother Worship, Tay Thien often welcomes many visitors from all over the world to practice Mother Goddess worship. Kim Oanh’s group is one of them. Ms. Le Thi Linh (sanitation worker) said: “Our cleaning team has 17 people, working from 6 am to 5 pm. The annual festival takes place on February 15 to 17 of the lunar calendar every year, with tens of thousands of guests attending. But in the past two years, due to the Covid-19 epidemic situation, only the ceremony part was held, the festival part was not held anymore, so the number of visitors decreased a lot. Sharing with me, Mr. Nguyen Hung Nam (tram team) confided: “I have been working here for five years with 12 other electric car brothers. In previous years, our fleet had 60 vehicles running continuously, but now the number of passengers is decreasing, the staff is also decreasing. Being able to work in a spiritual place like this, we are really comfortable. I took guests to the Mau ceremony, so my mind was also relieved.” He added that every year, the Management Board conducts renovation of the scenic area based on nature, not as an artificial landscape. The service attitude of the staff towards visitors is also always improved. Guests feel comfortable will return and recommend to many others to know. International visitors, especially Japanese and Korean tourists, often come here to visit and enjoy religious activities on the Mau Temple. The trip received the enthusiastic response of the union members of the World & Vietnam Newspaper. (Photo: Pham Anh Tuan) One-way love Too busy playing forgot about time. When the clouds of blue smoke began to fall, the beauty of Tay Thien Temple began to return to its inherent solitude. And perhaps the quiet beauty of the mountains gives people the feeling of being next to the source. Resting in a small roadside shop, reviewing old stories with his brothers, Head of the delegation – Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Van Trung shared memories of the first days of receiving his assignment at the Working Office since the early 1990s. Mr. do not forget to mention the previous generation of Editor-in-Chief who laid the foundation and built the newspaper, … so that today, the younger generations unite to bring the Newspaper to development day by day. After a busy day at work, this is really a precious moment when we quietly enjoy the quiet and clear space together. After a long day, it’s time to sunset, every trip has to come back – back to work, to responsibilities, to the hustle and bustle of life, then there will be a time to return to find some quiet in the West. Sky. It is not a coincidence that every year Tay Thien attracts so many tourists from all over the world. People were delighted to feel the compassion of the Buddha and the generosity of the Mother, which is the tolerance, protection, and universal salvation of the world, seeing that people’s hearts were relaxed when they returned to Tay Thien.

Lach Bang Temple (Hai Thanh Ward, Nghi Son Town). If you are a tourist who likes to wander around the caves and alleys of the sea village, to see and feel the rhythm of life or the beauty of daily life, which is somewhat obscured by the economic life. huh; then Nghi Son peninsula, Ba Lang – Hai Thanh (Nghi Son town), or Trieu Duong village (Sam Son city), Diem Pho (Hau Loc) are interesting suggestions. Life on the Nghi Son peninsula is like a black-and-white film opposite, in the midst of busy and noisy factories and seaports; with one side is the time-stained silence of ancient relics such as Tinh Hai fortress, Ong Ninh citadel or Wash Ngoc well associated with the tragic love story of My Chau – Trong Thuy. Economic development reflects the increasing material life, full and well-off; and parallel with it is the culture or spiritual life – beliefs and spirituality expressed through the cultural heritages that are still respected and preserved by the people here. The “fairyland” has both the needle and the deposition of that ancient spirit, truly precious. Because, it is easy to make people want to slow down a few beats, to see the beautiful scenery and also to let the soul be less in turmoil, when life is full of worries. Not far from Nghi Son is Hai Thanh – a cultural space imbued with maritime nuances. When it comes to Hai Thanh, people often mention the profession of going to the sea or the famous fish sauce making profession with the name Ba Lang. But behind the somewhat hustle and bustle of economic life, is an attractive “fairyland”. Because it’s rare in any estuary land where the livelihood and spiritual life have such harmony. The houses are closely packed with narrow aisles; Boat docks, craft villages, and small markets that seem noisy… strangely “fit” with the quiet, quiet appearance of temples and shrines. In Hai Thanh, there still exists a system of very diverse historical and cultural relics running along the slopes of Do Xuyen mountain and Ba Lang Catholic Church, which is famous for its outstanding architecture and art. Along with that, in the cultural space of Hai Thanh, there is also a treasure of unique intangible cultural heritage, the most prominent of which are typical folk festivals, cultural-historical festivals, such as: Quang Trung festival, Do Xuyen village festival and traditional brush swimming festival. Then, once coming to Hai Thanh for a festival, visitors will partially understand the so-called balance and harmony between the material and spiritual life in the traditional sea village. Between the busy streets and the hustle and bustle of the tourist town of Sam Son, the slow and somewhat calm life of Trieu Duong beach village can be likened to an interesting “variation”. Trieu Duong – the name on the face of the word is the morning water, but its deep meaning is a picture of beautiful, beautiful nature. The historical capital formed the land, so the village was as arduous as the daily life of fishermen facing waves and storms; However, the existence of Trieu Duong village is associated with Sam Son strip to this day, which is the pride of every resident here. The village is famous for cattle weaving, even the fishing net of Trieu Duong residents was once considered the most unique in the North. In particular, there is an opinion that Trieu Duong village keeps the cattle weaving technique a secret, with strict conventions and prohibitions from spreading it out. Normally, only boys in the village were taught the craft, and it wasn’t until 1955 that the technique was widely circulated. Also because of the traditional profession, since ancient times, Trieu Duong village has worshiped Ba Trieu – the ancestor of ox weaving and held Ba Trieu ball procession festival on the 10th day of the second lunar month every year. Trieu Duong village festival, along with many traditional festivals preserved and handed down by Sam Son residents to this day, has contributed to creating the appearance of a Sam Son that is both modern and ancient hidden in its beauty. culture – unique spirit. National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Diem Pho Bridge Festival. Talking about the “fairyland” of Thanh Hoa sea but forgetting to mention Diem Pho is really a big omission. But if you only know Diem Pho in the somewhat irritating scene of houses like wedges and the vibrant rhythm of life on the docks under the boat, it is also somewhat one-sided. Because there is a very different, very peaceful and meaningful Diem Pho of a coastal village imbued with the sea nuances of Thanh’s sea. Looking at the map, Yan Pu is like a funnel to absorb and store the wind. Perhaps also because of that special location, the characteristics of the population and culture of this land are also somewhat different. Because, mentioning Diem Pho is referring to a very special spiritual – spiritual – religious life. For centuries, the people here have been diligently clinging to the sea to find a livelihood and also from the sea, they have created an extremely rich and valuable cultural space, reflected in festivals, beliefs, customs, performing arts and the architecture of temples and pagodas. In particular, the Cau Ngu festival in Diem Pho village – one of the biggest, most profound and sacred festivals of the inhabitants of Hau Loc coastal area in particular, and Thanh Hoa in general. With its great and irreplaceable values, the Diem Pho Cau Ngu festival has been honored as a national intangible cultural heritage. And yet, Diem Pho still has a very unique complex of Nghe – pagoda – palace – shrine. Because the harmony of many types of architecture in a common space has reflected honestly and deeply the very open, unsophisticated view of the residents here on beliefs and religions. The tangible cultural heritages are very specific and rich in value; customs, or forms of religious activities, reflecting the history of formation, the process of existence and social characteristics; system of folk knowledge or rich experience treasures of fishermen… All those elements imbued with marine culture are fully reflected, truthfully, vividly, and conspicuously through these “regions”. “fairy” sea, waiting to be discovered by tourists, through tours to experience marine culture – who knows, will be built in the near future.

This morning, after releasing her daughter in elementary school, I planned to go home and write a few lines. So incessantly thinking along the flow of the car going forward, suddenly I suddenly crave a pair of flipped duck eggs. Cravings, we have to eat. But in the morning like this, where to find a place to sell “flipped duck seeds” between Saigon. So we walked across the market, bought dozens of eggs, some lettuce, ginger root, some chili powder. Going home and preparing to prepare, it also took 30 minutes. In return, the breakfast is satisfied. Foreigners coming to Vietnam for the first time must be shocked to see duck eggs flipped. Listen, it’s rumored to be one of the top 10 horror dishes in the world. But there are foreign friends that I know, who have lived in Vietnam for a long time, it turns out that “Western water spinach” already likes to eat real upside down duck eggs. Get used to it, no longer afraid. At that time, only the pulp, fragrant (but not fishy), is very attractive. Even though it is strange, in the same country, from the same people, the way of eating eggs / seeds of a flipped duck is already different. The local people often eat eggs at night, especially when going out for a drink. The saying “Flipped quail eggs, rotted duck seeds, flipped duck seeds … fried tamarind … êiiiiii” is too familiar to many people, including those who do not like this dish. Familiar because it sounds every night, on every street side, with the image of a person pushing or kicking a van in front of it, with eggs, boiled corn of all colors. The extremely difficult thing to explain is why the flipped duck seed is considered a Korean, eating easily cold, but people in the region often eat it at night, sometimes while drinking beer. And outsiders are different. Duck eggs flipped it like breakfast, more snacks. And because it considers its taste to be solder, it should always be eaten with sliced ​​ginger, a little chili powder with salt and pepper and laksa leaves to lead the taste and smell. That way of eating, at the same mealtime, seems to really balance yin and yang. The other thing is that the locals in the region eat eggs, they put them on the small communal table, knock on the spoon to knock, open the egg shell, season with seasoning and then slice each small spoon. Salt and pepper squeezed lemon or kumquat (kumquat), add a little pureed chili and also come with laksa leaves. But definitely not eaten with ginger. Meanwhile, the North people break the eggs into a small, pretty bowl, the bad, bad, old ceramic bowl is a bit dull. Two different ways of eating, two different times of eating, and a lot of different seasoning. The most common point, which later found, was to eat with hot pot. This is delicious and delicious, but it looks really scary when the eggs are not put in the pot. So scared that I can’t describe it anymore … Having finished sipping a pair of flipped duck eggs, I suddenly smiled to myself when I thought about this day. Yeah, there’s still the second day of the lunar month. Outside the North, there is a strange custom that is rare in the South. It is to abstain from a few things, including eating and drinking, in the first few “days” of the month. Which is abstaining from dog meat, abstaining from duck meat, abstaining from squid, and abstaining from eggs. There are also people who do not abstain, but many people keep it very cautious. Cravings are cravings, those dishes have to wait through the day of the day. There are men who are more careful, still waiting for the full moon. They are afraid of stirring for a whole month. That abstinence has been brought up to the “realm” of people who are abstaining from haircuts and shaving. Not to mention watching the hours out of the house. Typically an old classmate of mine. He abstains from the color of clothes, shoes. In the past, we used to tease “So do you abstain from bathing, abstaining from washing your hair? If you abstain from that, then you will take a bath to make up four times a day?”. It is true superstition is afraid. From contemplating the thousand types of abstinence, I suddenly remembered the story that just happened. In the midst of the time COVID-19 was still a dangling threat, in the ten thousand people, it was a real fear. Unfortunately, there is a man with Corona virus there, he sneezes a few times, I don’t know how the disaster will be? And also the story about 50,000 people flocked to this temple that controversy about superstition arose. Every year as well as every year, that old story is unearthed. Yet in the end, nothing changed. I feel really sad thinking about it. Vietnam is a free country of belief. God everyone worshiped. Even there are many families, Catholic wives, and Buddhist husbands are still okay. Such freedom does prevent us from getting caught up in troublesome attachments that can greatly hinder the development of society. But ironically, what is popular is not faithfully believing in a certain belief. Instead it was a superstitious society with a vain amalgamation of different types of faiths. Gods, Buddha, mandarin, holy … people worship everything. No longer seeing true faith but just a mess of fear. It is no longer “worshiped, holy, abstained, and wholesome” as the elders said. The only remaining “is not worship because of the sacred, but just because of fear”. There are quite a few friends who understand the Buddhist teachings and I see clearly how they appear to be a true Buddhist. They have no fear of pagan evil spirits. They tend to understanding more philosophy and do not confuse gods, ghosts, elves, evil … of other faiths. But the number of such people in society is very rare. Popularly, we still meet individuals who always want to talk spiritually but really do not understand what is the most basic of a belief. They mixed Buddhism into religion, adding the spices of motherhood and a few other beliefs. What do they believe in? Nobody can answer. But I think the only thing they believe is fear. They are afraid of some supernatural intangible force that they themselves do not have a proper belief in to deal with that fear. I wonder, in the old days, in the time of the grandparents’ generation, was it like that? I’m afraid not. At that time, people who worship Buddha probably only believed completely in Buddha’s door. The way of making offerings of that time was probably also very different. And just looking at the architecture of the ancient temples is enough to understand. It is unified, it has the unique identity of the Vietnamese people. What about today? Temples were built many, very majestic, very superficial. But architecture is doped. A little China, a little Burmese, Thailand, Cambodia, a little Tibet, and even a few places like the Shinto gate of Japan. Such a mess was created out of a strange “monster”. After all, if people really believe in something, a certain belief, they will not lose their way between the message, coinciding with other beliefs. There is nothing bad when we choose for ourselves a belief in a time where science can explain these thousands and thousands of things. But it would be weird if we put our faith in a mess – pí – of belief, confusion and lack of dominant spirit. This messy placing of faith is the best proof that a person really does not have a faith of his own. Having a pure and faithful personal faith is your own choice, but in fact it also comes from the home environment. Parents, brothers and sisters believe that a little mess in each place will definitely lead to their children being affected and also easily distracted. That stray is confusion. And the two hours of “superstition” were just too precise to judge the beliefs of the majority today. Those who believe that eating duck, eggs or squid at the beginning of the lunar month will bring bad luck understand that no religion teaches their followers to abstain. And in the South, where there are so many Buddhists, there is no one who believes that such junk food can bring them bad luck. Basically, because when they really believe in Buddha, the power of Buddhist philosophy is enough for them to understand that the other three abstinence is the delusion of those who actually do not believe. Have we ever asked ourselves a question, “Yeah, what do we really believe in?”. Answering it actually opens up huge doors for ourselves. Because when we are determined to believe in a particular belief, we inevitably have to go through a process of defying the beliefs to see how much they truly conquer us. Having not overcome these challenges, it is clear that all that remains is blind.

U.S. halts use of Johnson / Johnson vaccine

The implementation of johnson&johnson’s (J&J)one-dose Covid-19 vaccine was halted on April 13 when regulators announced they were reviewing rare cases of blood clots after receiving it. The move could prompt thousands of people expected to get the J&J vaccine this week to find an alternative.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) both recommend halting the distribution of the J&J vaccine after recording 6 cases of cerebral vein sinus thrombosis (CVST).

Symptoms are noted in women between the ages of 18-48 and appear 6-13 days after the J&J. vaccine injection. “Among cases of coaalysis in the U.S., one person has died and one patient is in critical condition,” said Peter Marks, head of the FDA’s Center for Biological Research and Evaluation.

However, stopping the use of the J&J vaccine in the US when there are only a few cases of blood clots has raised questions about over-reactions.

Speaking at the White House on April 13, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the CDC and FDA have acted “with extreme caution” and stressed that the decision to recommend stopping the use of the J&J vaccine is only temporary.

“I don’t think they made the decision in a hurry,” Mr. Fauci said.

Despite this, the move left those planning to get the J&J vaccine confused and raised concerns that it could cause hesitation over covid-19 vaccination.

Earlier, 15 million J&J vaccines were damaged due to production errors at a factory. In Colorado, three mass vaccination points stopped using the J&J vaccine last week after 11 people reported symptoms of nausea and dizziness after receiving the vaccine.

For regulators, halting the use of the J&J vaccine has made it difficult to meet the urgent need for vaccines during the pandemic. When investigating the issue, U.S. officials must also try to maintain public confidence in the vaccination program. The suspension of J&J vaccination shows that regulators are taking potential issues seriously, but if they can’t find an answer yet, it could make people more concerned about vaccinations.

Link between J&J vaccine and cerebral vein sinus thrombosis

Cerebral vein sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a condition in which blood clots are formed in the veins and sinuses of the brain. This is a rare form of a stroke. In the general population, this symptom occurs in about 5 out of 1 million people. Symptoms of CVST include headache, blurred vision, convulsions, and loss of body control.

However, there are a number of factors that cause regulators to pay attention to cases of CVST after a single dose of J&J. Mr. Marks explained that, patients with blood clots also have tinglet reduction, the condition of tinglets in the blood decreases to very low levels, leading to bleeding and bruising. The combination of blood clots and low tinglets prevents patients from using common anti-coaculation treatments such as heparin, a blood thinner. That’s why health officials want to halt J&J.J. vaccinations until concerns can be investigated and give new guidance if necessary.

In addition, another factor is the cases of blood clots that occur in young women, who usually do not face a high risk of suffering from this disease.

The suspension of the J&J vaccine has been reminiscent of many European countries suspending all or part of the Covid-19 AstraZeneca vaccination program due to fears of blood clots. In March, the European Medicines Regulator (EMA) halted distribution of the AstraZeneca vaccine before allowing it to continue. Later, regulators concluded the AstraZeneca vaccine did not increase the risk of blood clots.

“This is a safe and effective vaccine. The benefits of vaccines in protecting people from the risk of dying and hospitalization from Covid-19 are far greater than the possible risks,” EMA Executive Director Emer Cooke said at a press conference in March.

Both the AstraZeneca vaccine and the Johnson /Johnson vaccine are based on modified adenovirus vectors. Adenovirus is a separate virus designed to provide DNA instructions to cellsto make the mutable protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.

Nearly 7 million people in the U.S. who have been vaccinated with the J&J. Vaccine AstraZeneca are still under review and have not yet begun distribution in the U.S., even though the country’s government has purchased millions of doses of the vaccine.

The link between the J&J vaccine and symptoms of cerebral vein sinus thrombosis has not yet been clarified, but Vox has made several assumptions.

“Mutant proteins are produced using instructions from vaccines,” said Robert Brodsky, Director of hematological division at Johns Hopkins University. In some cases, mutating proteins can trigger the response of the immune system. That immune response can also damage the tinglets, causing symptoms such as blood clots.

In addition, if a spike in a protein can trigger this reaction, it is likely that the virus is intact that can also activate CVST in vulnerable people.

Rare complications that create major public health challenges

The Covid-19 vaccine has been tested on tens of thousands of people in clinical trials, and all three licensed vaccines in the U.S., Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson have all been proven safe, with levels of side effects being mild to medium.

But as the number of people taking part in vaccine trials increased from thousands to millions, rare complications began to appear.

That happened to Pfizer/BioNTech after the vaccine was distributed to the market. Some people after vaccination experience a severe allergic reaction to the Pfizer vaccine. Similar problems also appeared with the Moderna vaccine. In January, the CDC estimated that the rate of allergic reactions to the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was 11.1 per 1 million vaccinations, while the rate of the Moderna vaccine was 2.5 per 1 million vaccinations.

Health officials have revised the vaccination process to screen people with a history of severe allergies. They also asked the person after vaccination to stay for 15 minutes for monitoring, as most allergic reactions occur during that time period.

Regulators can add screening criteria for people at higher risk for blood clots before getting the J&J vaccine.

It’s too early to say whether regulators will do the right thing when it comes to halting J&J vaccinations. Studying potential vaccine issues can boost people’s confidence in vaccinations, but can also cause confusion and fear of complications, making more people more vigilant.

What about those who have received the J&J vaccine?

Dr Fauci said that, for those who had received the J&J vaccine more than a month ago, they didn’t need to worry. However, those who have recently received the J&J vaccine and begin to have symptoms associated with cerebral sinus thrombosis should inform their doctor. “6-13 days after vaccination will be the time of symptoms,” Mr Fauci said.
