Covid-19: Seven UK blood clot deaths after AstraZeneca vaccine
BBC ^ | April 2 | By James Gallagher

Posted on 04/02/2021 6:03:52 PM PDT by RandFan

Seven people have died from unusual blood clots after getting the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK, the medicines regulator has confirmed to the BBC.

In total, 30 people out of 18 million vaccinated by 24 March had these clots.

It is still not clear if they are just a coincidence or a genuine side effect of the vaccine.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency says the benefits continue to outweigh any risk.

However, concern has led to other countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands and Canada to restrict the vaccine's use only to older people.

The data released by the MHRA on Friday showed 22 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) which is a type of blood clot in the brain.

These were accompanied by low levels of platelets, which help form blood clots, in the body. The MHRA also found other clotting problems alongside low platelet levels in eight people.

Now the MHRA has confirmed, in an email to the BBC, that "sadly seven have died".

Dr June Raine, the chief executive of the MHRA, said: "The benefits… in preventing Covid-19 infection and its complications continue to outweigh any risks and the public should continue to get their vaccine when invited to do so."

RE: Seven UK blood clot deaths after AstraZeneca vaccine

Out of how many already vaccinated?

And oh, how many deaths were attributed to Ivermectin when used as prophylaxis?

Just curious to make the comparison.

An individual in Australia was also hospitalized after he developed blood clots after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Covid has, without a doubt, caused more fatal blood clots. Coagulopathy, as it is called, is a common finding of severe Covid. I think I probably had the first Covid patient in my hospital. he had atypical pneumonia, a stroke, a heart attack and some kind of bizarre disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We see elevated d Dimers and low platelet counts and signs of this atypical DIC all the time. I only bother to mention it because it seems odd that all of these vaccine associated deaths appear to have some kind of an underlying coagulopathy as well.

Excellent question.

Ivermectin works. The Empire doesn’t want you to know.

OK, one case is tragedy enough. But is that enough to ban the vaccine?

I believe they should determine WHAT TYPE of people ( e.g. their conditions, their physical health, etc. ) are NOT SUITABLE for AstraZeneca’s vaccine.

The government demanded that all military receive the Anthrax vaccine.

Turns out, the government knew that vaccine wasn’t effective against the potential threat.

The military personnel received the vaccine anyway.

Turns out, the government knew that some people receiving the vaccine would develop autoimmune diseases.

Thanks government.

The vaccine was useless and crippled some of us.

Do you think the immune system is responding in a similarly uncontrolled way to the virus and to the vaccine — at least in some cases?

Maybe. I tried to sort it all out a while back and I came up with “antibody induced platelet desialylation” and then I stopped looking because it was getting beyond my ken. It seems like some people may be predisposed to having this reaction since not everyone is having it. That’s what I think though. yep.

Scientists Say They Found Cause of Rare Blood Clotting Linked to AstraZeneca Vaccine

From a not-pay site:

“Two teams of researchers in Germany and Norway said they had identified an autoantibody called heparin platelet factor 4 antibody that may be involved in CVST’s development. The group, which includes Andreas Greinacher, MD, of the Medical University of Greifswald in Germany, who is well known in the field, issued a statement about their preliminary data (though no formal publication or preprint manuscript). The statement offers guidance on diagnosing and treating this condition if it develops after the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Heparin platelet 4 antibody causes heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), in which heparin paradoxically activates platelets, leading to platelet depletion and clotting. HIT is a well-known but rare complication of heparin use that develops in about 1%-2% of patients. Some patients who have never been exposed to heparin can also have this autoantibody.”

479,050 excess deaths in 2020. Think about that real hard.

Some stats would be nice instead of making declarations based on wishful thinking..

Look it up. Covid associated coagulopathy. It’s kind of a big deal.

You made the claim.

You provide the data.

I’m not doing your work for you.

If you can’t be bothered to provide it, the there’s no reason anyone has for believing you or wasting their time chasing down information to verify your claims.

THAT is amazing.

What hospital is this?

Also...YOUR hospital?

Do you own it?

Are you a physician?

Just what is your area of medical expertise....I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you mention that. Apologies, if I’ve missed that.

here you go, you go ahead and read about Covid Associated Coagulopathy now. I hope you learn something.
