The European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European Union's drug regulator, on Friday found a possible link between Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine and rare cases of blood clotting in deep veins.
During a Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee meeting, the agency said it found a possible link between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the J&J vaccine.
"VTE is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in a leg, arm or groin, and may travel to the lungs causing a blockage of the blood supply, with possible life-threatening consequences," the agency wrote in its meeting highlights.
It is recommending that the condition be listed as a rare side effect.
The agency also recommends that immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) be listed as a side effect of the J&J vaccine and AstraZeneca's vaccine.
ITP is a bleeding disorder in which "the immune system mistakenly targets blood cells called platelets that are needed for normal blood clotting," the agency wrote.
While J&J said the conditions are rare, it will update the product information and continue to work closely with EMA and other government agencies, according to Reuters.
"We strongly support raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of rare events to ensure they can be quickly identified and effectively treated," the company said in a July statement.
The vaccines from both AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson have previously been associated with rare incidents of blood clotting.
THE CLOT SHOT
Ping.
Rare...
We welcome the Lamestream media to the party.

More clot, from a shot ping.
Another day, another rare clot.
A billion this hour; a billion the next hour. After a day it becomes real money. And on and on and on it goes...with NO talk of THERAPEUTICS by the elites. I can’t believe the entire world is letting them kill or maim us. Jesus, please come quickly...we’re beyond helping ourselves.
Thank you
Very scary. Severe clotting of the blood, poor circulation, miscarriages, brain damage to fetuses etc.
stunning and brave

Thanks Jane!
“JnJ responds” to the covid crisis...
They use the word “rare” too many times, five by my count, which is four too many, as if they are trying to convince us it is.
Which I don’t believe is the case.
Any side effect this vax is producing that warrants a warning is not going to be rare. They are only on cover their butts mode.
Amen!
short term rare, long term they dont know
rare
