New Study Finds Slightly Elevated Risk of Bleeding Disorders After AstraZeneca Vaccine

Researchers studying records of 1.7 million adults who received the AstraZeneca AZN 2.29% PLC Covid-19 vaccine in Scotland found a small increased risk of bleeding conditions also sometimes associated with several vaccines routinely given to children, and usually treatable.

The blood disorders are different from a very rare but sometimes deadly blood-clotting condition that—coupled with low platelet levels—researchers in Europe have already linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine. That possible side effect has been the focus of regulatory and government scrutiny in recent months.

In the new paper, published Wednesday in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers from the U.K. and New Zealand said their findings shouldn’t change policies in the U.K. and elsewhere to continue deploying the AstraZeneca shot as a generally safe and effective tool against Covid-19. AstraZeneca and regulators have said they are studying the blood-clotting matter further and that the benefits of the shot outweigh risks for most people. AstraZeneca didn’t immediately comment on the new findings in the Nature study.

 

The new analysis concludes that the benefits of the AstraZeneca vaccine, along with heightened risks of internal bleeding and blood clots from Covid-19 itself, far outweighed any increased risks from the shot for most people. Because incidents of blood clotting have occurred more often in younger adults, some health officials have said that they should be offered an alternative to the AstraZeneca shot.

The vaccine was developed with the University of Oxford. The new paper, which hasn’t been peer reviewed, provides a deeper dive into a large number of vaccine recipients in a single country. Because these bleeding conditions have been associated with other, long-used vaccines, researchers decided to study potential occurrences in Covid-19 vaccines.

I'm shocked that any mainstream publication is admitting to ANY issue. There are many severe problems with the 'vaccines' and they should have been pulled from the market long ago. I'm just glad to see the first MSM admission.

Nothing to be concerned about.

“Slightly” now. What’s it going to be like a year from now?

“Safe and effective”. The push of these concoctions is just sickening.

Evidently, professionals disagree with your amateur assessment: “In the new paper, published Wednesday in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers from the U.K. and New Zealand said their findings shouldn’t change policies in the U.K. and elsewhere to continue deploying the AstraZeneca shot as a generally safe and effective tool against Covid-19.

Have you ever seen all the class action lawsuits ads against FDA “approved” medications? These are emergency use “vaccines”. What could possibly go wrong?

from the Nature magazine article:

209 reports of thrombocytopenic and thromboembolic cases, after 22 million first doses and 6.8 million second doses of the ChAdOx1 vaccine17...

In addition, 48% of patients with post-ChAdOx1 ITP had prior prescriptions that could induce ITP, compared to 35% of those who were unvaccinated at the time of their ITP event.

I wonder if this is why women are reporting extended, painful period bleeding after the vaccination.

The quickest and best way to go wrong is to not get the vaccine.

Have you ever watched any of the drug commercials listing all their side-effects? Nothing unique about the vaccines, except the vaccines prevent illnesses and deaths rather than merely treating a disease.
