Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia After ChAdOx1 nCov-19 Vaccine, April 16, 2021, by Authors: Greinacher A, Thiele T, Warkentin TE, Weisser K, Kyrle PA, and Eichinger S.
Correction. The paper was published April 9, 2021 in the NEJM.
thanks for the link :)
The first case, in Austria, had low platelet counts. But the Austrian woman had clots in veins and arteries, same as seen in covid, and similar to a rare heperin reaction which is skimmed in the above article.
In your linked summary, “ cerebral venous thrombosis (n = 9), splanchnic-vein thrombosis (n = 3), pulmonary embolism (n = 3), and other sites (n = 4). Five patients experienced disseminated intravascular coagulation. “
So are there two different types of clotting reactions going on or one? At first, the question was raised, were the clots actually due to some sort of interaction with Birth Control or hormone therapy? But it was said (the next day), that vaccine-suspected clotting is in the brain, and that’s why it was different than deep vein clotting in BC or hormone therapy. Is there no difference?.
Also, I followed on to the paper iself looking for platelet info. The average platelet count of patients was 20,000. (the original Austrian patient at 18,000 considered ‘very low’). “Normal” platelet counts should be in the 150K-450K range:
“All the patients presented with concomitant thrombocytopenia (median nadir of platelet count, approximately 20,000 per cubic millimeter; range, 9000 to 107,000)

I don’t know what all this means, but it did kind of jump off the page at me, so might be important, or not
