Blood Clotting and the Accusation of Haram Vaccine

The Astrazeneca vaccine has made a fuss. According to a recent study from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which has its headquarters in Amsterdam, the Astrazeneca vaccine is strongly suspected of having potentially fatal blood clot side effects. Shortly thereafter,  the UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) disclosed that it may have found evidence of a connection between blood clot cases and the Astrazeneca-Oxford vaccine. The EMA and MHRA reports immediately sparked concern in the European region. Eleven countries in Europe instantly suspended the use of the Astrazeneca vaccine, followed by Thailand. In Indonesia there have been no cases of blood clots due to the vaccine, but, pending further studies, the Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, announced the suspension of the use of Astrazeneca vaccine (15/3/2021).

Our Universities toward Golden Indonesia 2045. Are They Ready?

The countdown to the Golden Indonesia 2045 is currently underway. This year's National Education Day 2021 coincides with the 76th anniversary of Independence Day.
