The company released a statement on Monday, saying “We have temporarily paused further dosing in all our COVID-19 vaccine candidate clinical trials, including the Phase 3 Ensemble trial, due to an unexplained illness in a study participant.”
The vaccine was being tested in 60,000 participants across the US, Argentina, Brazil and several other countries.
In September, pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca paused clinical trials of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine after a participant in the UK had an unexplained illness, but the study has since resumed in the country.

As the Covid-19 pandemic began earlier this year, a strange note was circulating within the packages of grocery store products in various towns across Eastern Pennsylvania. We reported on this in April. After publication, several messages were sent to Coal Speaker indicating that locations as far as Ohio and Maryland were also receiving the messages in boxes.
As Halloween approaches, the season of the witch is seeing another spike incidences of the weird note.
We spoke to a reader this morning, Angel, who recently purchased a box of Live Gfree Gluten Free chocolate chip cookies at Aldi’s in Coal Township.
The box was sealed shut, but tucked under was a little cardboard piece with folded paper. Angel said the paper fell to the floor, and as she was eating her first cookie (not sure of how tasty vs dry they were) she recalled putting a load of laundry in, she stopped quickly, “And thought…. wait what fell out of that box. It almost looked like instructions.”
The following photos were sent to us by Angel. The first picture showcases the little piece of cardboard that the note was on, most likely making slipping it into the package much easier. The second image shows the folded note that she mistakingly thought were instructions.
And finally, here is the note itself:
TO TRANSCRIBE OR TO TRANSCRIBE: THAT IS THE QUESTION
Now.. back in April, we racked and wrecked our brains by transcribing the note. It was painful. And that is precisely why we know this note is different than the first! WE have firsthand experience being slightly ruined for an hour afterwards from the first..
We will work on a transcription of this note.. but just keep in mind, this is very different. Perhaps even updated..
