At least 36 people have developed a rare, life-threatening blood disorder, called thrombocytopenia, after receiving either of the two COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the US.
One of them, Miami obstetrician Dr Gregory Michael, died after thrombocytopenia caused his platelets to drop to virtually zero. He was just 56 and died of a brain hemorrhage just 16 days after receiving Pfizer's shot.
And doctors ordered Luz Legaspi, 72, not to leave her bed for over a week, for fear a bump, bruise, fall or other minor injury could lead to a similar hemorrhage and prove fatal for her.
Thrombocytopenia has been seen after other vaccines as well, and experts suspect that the shot does act as a trigger in some way - they just don't know why yet.
But so far, the platelet-suppressing condition appears exceedingly rare - affecting just 36 people out of 43 million doses administered in the US - and scientists theorize that only a small fraction of the population may have some predisposition that could lead vaccines to trigger the blood disorder.
Of 15 people included in a forthcoming study, only one had a recent history of low platelet counts, and there were no clear common threads that predict who might be the very few to develop thrombocytopenia after vaccination.
But with the exception of Dr Michael, all others so far have recovered after treatment.
The vast majority of people who have received COVID-19 vaccines have done so without incident.
But between the December 14 start of the US coronavirus vaccine rollout and January 31, 36 reports were made to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) monitoring system of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) after vaccinations, according to the New York Times.

The database logs incidents doctors and nurses observe after people get vaccinations, but it doesn't determine whether or not vaccines were the cause of the reported problems, known as 'adverse events.'
No cases of thrombocytopenia were reported during the trials of either Moderna's or Pfizer's vaccines.
However, since they're authorizations, cases have been linked to each vaccine.
Pfizer told DailyMail.com that it is investigating the death of Dr Michael, an obstetrician whose wife says was in good health before his death in December.
Yeah, none for me thanks. 👎
What’s the reporting window as to death’s related?
Co-worker’s aunt and uncle got their shots Friday.
Uncle went to bed Saturday night, never woke up.
Both 70, both in decent health, no underlying conditions like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc. Granted it may have just been his time, but at this point, he has to get an Autopsy before they will release his body.
I’m not scared of dying from the vaccine, being “chipped” or made sterile. I’m also not afraid of getting covid.
No shot for me.
Cost/benefit analysis.
36 out of 43 MILLION!
LOL, as opposed to choking to death on your breathing tube, yeah, glad I got my shot.
I’m told thrombocytopenia has been reported with vaccines in general.
I recall, during my residency, I was about to give a baby a MMR vaccine. An instant before it happened, the baby had a seizure.
Had I given the injection, twenty seconds sooner, the seizure would have been attributed to the vaccine.
“Glad I got my shot”.
The 56 year old doctor who died is maybe thinking he’s not glad he got his shot.
There’s room for everyone in this.

The problem is that science deals in statistics, but every human being is different.
So it can be true that the vaccine works and causes no harm for the vast majority of people while it can be very harmful for some other people.
When you rush a vaccine to market you are much less likely to identify which individuals should avoid the vaccine.
That is the dirty little secret the “experts” don’t want you to know.
Pay no attention to this fear mongering.
Out of the 497 gazilliondy-trillion people vaccinated, these numbers are miniscule and meaningless.
Unless you happen to be one of the dead peoples.
Most people who should avoid a vaccine, know they should avoid a vaccine when they sign up for the Covid vaccine. That being said, I have vaccinated people who have had allergic reactions to vaccines before. They were adamant they wanted the Covid vaccine. They didn’t have an allergic reaction either.
Call that little doctor FakeZee for his spin on these events.
None were reported..."reported" is the key word.
How many drugs have been removed from the market after approval...thousands...
The fear mongering by the anti-vaxxers quivering in their flop sweat hysterical urine stained panties has to stop.
Low IQ is no reason to de-volve into apes that screech at the first sign of anything new.
The Vaccinated will inherit the earth while the lower forns sink back into the slimemold ooze.
I have foreseen it, yea verily
When a cause/effect relationship is established, let us know.
Trusting the vaccine is like saying this election wasn’t stolen. Truth is very rare these days.
I had never gotten a respiratory flu in my life nor had I ever gotten a flu vaccine.
Last year my doctor convinced me to get the flu vaccine.
I got the flu. It was bad. Maybe it was Covid.
