COVID-19 infection increases risk of serious blood clots three to six months later: Study
ABC News ^ | April 6, 2022 | Mary Kekatos

Being infected with COVID-19 raises the risk of developing serious blood clots, a new study suggests. An international team of researchers from Sweden, the United Kingdom and Finland compared more than 1 million people in Sweden with a confirmed case of the virus between February 2020 and May 2021 to 4 million control patients who tested negative.They found three to six months after contracting COVID-19, patients were at increased risk of being diagnosed with blood clots in their legs or lungs, according to results published in the journal BMJ on Wednesday. Specifically, patients had a significantly increased risk of deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot that forms deep in the thigh or the lower leg, up to three months after a COVID-19 infection. Patients also had a heightened risk of developing a pulmonary embolism, a clot that develops in a blood vessel and travels to a lung artery, up to six months after having the virus.The team said its results add to a growing body of evidence about the link between COVID-19 and serious blood clots, while adding new information about how long the risk might last. "The present findings have major policy implications," the authors wrote, adding that the report "strengthens the importance of vaccination against COVID-19." They also said the findings suggest that COVID-19 patients -- "especially high-risk patients" -- should take anticoagulation medicine, which are medications to help prevent these clots. During the course of the study period, the team saw 401 cases of DVT among the COVID-19 patients, compared to 267 cases among the negative patients. Meanwhile, there were 1,761 cases of PE among virus patients in comparison with 171 cases among the control patients.

The vaccine can’t cause blood clots because it is safe and effective.

Hmmm?! Clots if ya do get the “safe and effective vax”, clots if you’ve been infected? Might be nice if the folks “gmo” status were included for others to ascertain just WTH is going on here. That is if you don’t already know. Booster #5 on the horizon? You know, now that all these administration hacks seem to be contracting “it” and fauxnocchio predicting a fall surge...........

“.....a higher risk of events in patients with underlying conditions, patients with more severe coronavirus, and during the first pandemic wave compared with the second and third waves...”

Vaccines prevent cases from becoming more serious, so the study concludes the results highlight the importance of getting vaccinated.

This sound to me like it was written to give cover to the fact that the clot shot causes blood clots...

of course not, because that would be a significant variable.

Makes me suspicious of the insane push by governments to vaccinate everyone, including children and infants. It’s almost as if they don’t want a pesky control group of unvaccinated around who might ruin the narrative on a study.

Catching COVID has more adverse side effects than the vaccines.

By “catching covid” are you referring to the most recent less lethal variants that are out there? By making your statement, I assume you have a time machine that took you to the future and that you have studied long term affects of the Vax. That’s a pretty cool thing to do and would greatly appreciate any lottery number suggestions from your time travels.

No it doesn’t. It is the fake vaxes that are causing the clots and the so called experts and the government are lying because they want that poison in every person’s body.
