THE HAGUE, Netherlands - The Dutch government said Friday it is temporarily halting AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccinations for people under 60 following reports of very small number of people suffering unusual blood clots after receiving the shot.
The Dutch decision comes three days after authorities in Germany also stopped using the AstraZeneca’s vaccine in the under-60s, citing fresh concerns over unusual blood clots reported in a tiny number of those who received the shots.
Earlier Friday, a Dutch organization that monitors vaccine side effects said it had received five reports of blood clots with low blood plate counts following vaccinations. All the cases occurred between seven and 10 days after the vaccinations and all the people affected were women aged between 25 and 65 years.
The organization said in the period when the five cases were reported, some 400,000 people were vaccinated in the Netherlands with the AstraZeneca shot.
Health Minister Hugo de Jonge says the temporary halt is a precautionary measure.
"I think it is very important that the Dutch reports are also properly investigated," De Jonge said. "We must err on the side of caution."
The news is another setback for the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is critical to Europe’s immunization campaign and a linchpin in the global strategy to get shots to poorer countries, for it is cheaper and easier to use than rival vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. It comes two weeks after the EU drug regulator said the vaccine does not increase the overall incidence of blood clots following a similar scare.

The vaccines aren’t supposed to kill people until later.
I wonder what role contraceptive use might play in a reaction to a vaccine like this. Because birth control pills are known to increase risk of clotting as well (?)
Prayers for all affected and any who are about to take that vaccine. As it is still in use in Uk and around world.
A hah. Article today re: the factor birth control pills might play.
I guess it’s OK for people OVER sixty to have blood clots....
The extensive clotting 'uses' up all platelets needed to stop bleeding. Weird.
That could mean that if surgeons try to operate to remove clots, the patient can't stop bleeding from surgical incisions.
Here's an example of the bleeding from lack of platelets.

How true and by that time they died of natural causes NOT COVID
Thanks ransomnote.

They are also a long-known factor in the same type of blood clotting/platelet issues in women who don’t get vaccines.
In fact, when the European Medicines Agency examined the 13 cases that caused the first big scare (with 20 nations suspending AZ vaccinations), they found that the rate of women using those birth control drugs and getting blood clots after vaccination, was lower than that of the women using those drugs who were not vaccinated - but sample size (13) was too small for statistically significant measures to be made.
Making a mountain out of a molehill.
That’s what I mean though. So did they have pre existing clotting issues that were exacerbated?
“did they have pre existing clotting issues that were exacerbated?”
It seems that the may have gotten clotting/platelet issues from their birth control pills or other estrogen products (side effects they are known to cause) despite being vaccinated against COVID, rather than because of it.
Another of those issues where something happens after vaccination, so they say vaccination must have caused it.
