BERLIN/ZURICH (Reuters) - Instances of a very rare clotting condition in women aged under 60 who received AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine were 20 times higher than would normally be expected, Christian Bogdan, a member of Germany's vaccine committee, said on Wednesday.
His comments came as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Britain's medical regulator acknowledged a possible link between the AstraZeneca vaccine to rare blood clots with low blood platelet counts.

Want real-world evidence that vaccine side effect databases do not capture ANYTHING close to the real number of adverse events, even extremely serious ones? Here goes.
Britain has a system similar to VAERS, with voluntary reporting of post-vaccine side effects.
Just a week ago, the British reported 30 cases of severe blood clotting problems, including 7 deaths, after 18 million doses of the @AstraZeneca vaccine. This is a very serious and unusual problem and it should pop out to doctors.
Yesterday, the Brits updated the number...Now they report 79 events and 19 deaths out of 20 million doses - a near-tripling of events and deaths in a week.
Did all those extra problems happen in the last week/2 million doses?
No. They are coming now because physicians are finally LOOKING for and reporting them...But if a voluntary reporting system can’t catch more than a fraction of cases like this - cases where young people are dying bizarrely days after getting vaccinated - what are the odds it will pick up the deaths of older people dying in more routine ways like strokes?
TL: DR - do NOT trust articles comparing side effect rates in VAERS and similar voluntary reporting systems to background rates of disease in a population, because voluntary systems capture only a fraction of potential problems, even deadly and obvious ones.
are these women on birth control or hormone therapy?
With 169 total clot cases out of 34 million how is it possible to come to this conclusion.
These stats refer to DOSES.
The clotting reaction, if it is going to happen, will happen with one (the first) shot.
As people get two shots of this drug, divide the number of doses by two to get to the real risk per person.
As always, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
False numbers like with covid. If you had a tooth ache you died of covid, if you die form the vaccine its rare and it has effected very few
When there’s smoke there’s fire. The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer/Moderna) so far have a better safety track record. If even England is suggesting alternative vaccines for younger people, you know something’s up. Do the math. They have the most to lose as Astrazeneca/Oxford are British entities.
Sweden also played a role and they too have halted Astra.
blueplum, the contraceptive/hormonal factor s a possibility for sure but I doubt any meaningful research will be done in the near term if ever. If there’s anything more holy grail than these shots themselves to the dominant ideologies of our day...it’s birth control.
Isn’t it telling and symbolic that the cell lines from an aborted fetus have played such a central role in the development of every major vaccine out now? But even more so with the viral vector formats (Astra/Johnson and Johnson) than with the mRNA (Pfizer/Moderna.)
The latter vaccines seem on the whole to be safer and more effective. That’s why I gather. But every person’s body is different. And indeed women are biologically different than men.
The reason I ask about hormone therapy is, women who take BC are at risk of blood clotting to begin with. It has been said that those who use steriods need to quit for a few weeks prior and after vaccination (low dose steroid effects on the immune system may allow covid to multiply more readily), so my line of thought is, maybe we should apply that little safety rule to those taking BC?
Re: fetal cells - the aborted fetus that cell lines have been derived from was aborted in 1960. Fibroblasts from those cells have been used to develop many vaccines including rabies, polio, shingles, hepA/B, rubella, measles, smallpox and chickenpox vaccines.
About the only alternatives are hamster ovary cells for a shingles vaccine, and for rabies, chicken fibroblasts have been used.
Moderna, Pfitzer and JandJ don’t use fetal fibroblast cells in their vaccine platforms. They did, however, test their vaccines against these cells. Like we used to give vaccines to monkeys, only using human cells in a petri dish instead. The Pope and Catholics have no reason to worry unless they want to worry about the vaccines stated above that have been in world-wide use for decades and have saved literally hundreds of millions of lives.
“Early in the development of mRNA vaccine technology, fetal cells were used for “proof of concept” (to demonstrate how a cell could take up mRNA and produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein) or to characterize the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were found to be ethically uncontroversial by the pro-life
policy organization the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Further, the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, a committee within the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has stated: “neither Pfizer nor Moderna used an abortion-derived cell line in the development or production of the vaccine. However, such a cell line was used to test the efficacy of both vaccines”
CDC Covid-19 death rate .17%, flu death rate .1%. Why take a 100% chance for something that is not needed and could go terribly wrong?
