Denmark, Iceland, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia and the Netherlands have also suspended AstraZeneca vaccinations. Germany’s health ministry cited the advice of the national health regulator in its decision to suspend the vaccine, though global health officials have cautioned that millions of people have received it without any problems. So far, there is no evidence of a causal link between clotting and the vaccine, with investigations from the European Medicines Agency and other regulators still underway. By contrast, Thailand said that it would resume distribution of the AstraZeneca vaccine on Tuesday, with Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha among the first to receive it.

Three forces — a late-winter storm, a post-Covid industrial rebound and the continued impact of climate change — combined to create a dangerous, suffocating pall of pollution across the country.

The storm was a reminder of “airpocalypses” that the country routinely experienced years ago, forcing the government to crack down on emissions. “I couldn’t see the building across the street,” said Wang Wei, a 23-year-old who recently moved to Beijing from Henan, a province in central China. “I didn’t think the sky could be this yellow.” Context: The Communist Party has made strides in reducing pollution, with President Xi Jinping repeatedly calling for a “green revolution” in China’s economy. But since the pandemic, officials have prioritized economic development again. Environmental groups were hoping that specific government proposals would emerge from recent top-level meetings on the country’s five-year plan.
