I had to start taking blood thinner after I received the Anthrax vaccine.

I had “a very violent reaction” after the Covid vaccine, but I survived.

I wonder if the warfarin saved me?

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
Low platelet count due to heparin, associated with a risk of thrombosis
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is the development of thrombocytopenia, due to the administration of various forms of heparin, an anticoagulant. HIT predisposes to thrombosis because platelets release microparticles that activate thrombin, thereby leading to thrombosis. When thrombosis is identified the condition is called heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT). HIT is caused by the formation of abnormal antibodies that activate platelets. If someone receiving heparin develops new or worsening thrombosis, or if the platelet count falls, HIT can be confirmed with specific blood tests.

Note: this only occurs in 1%-2% of patients.
