Fauci: ‘Strong Similarities’ Between Post-Vaccination Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca Blood Clots
epoch times ^ | 14 April A.D. 2021 | Zachary Stieber

There are similarities between the blood clotting issues seen in people after getting two different COVID-19 vaccines, Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Wednesday.

“There are some rather strong similarities about this with regard to the timeframe following vaccination, particularly importantly, the clinical syndrome of these clots together with low platelets, so there are a lot of similarities there that you just can’t miss,” the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said on NBC’s “Today” show.

Fauci was comparing issues with Johnson & Johnson’s shot with those experienced by people who have had AstraZeneca’s jab.

U.S. health officials and drug regulators recommended a pause in using Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine on Tuesday after six recorded cases of post-vaccination blood clots in conjunction with low blood platelet levels.

One woman died and another is in critical condition.

Many states heeded the advice and stopped using the jabs.

Post-vaccination blood clots were also seen in people who received AstraZeneca’s vaccine in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, with dozens of those patients dying. AstraZeneca’s vaccine is not yet authorized in the United States, though the company is attempting to get it approved.

The European Union’s drug regulator found a “possible link” between the jab and the clots and said AstraZeneca should list rare blood clots as a possible side effect.

The issues seen with the two different vaccines “could be” related, Fauci said on Wednesday.

Both shots use an adenovirus, or a common virus, to act as a vector to deliver a gene for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, triggering the body’s protection against the CCP virus.

Besides Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine, the other two shots authorized for emergency use in America are based on messenger RNA technology. No post-vaccination blood clotting has been reported for either of those two shots, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

No further cases of clotting in Johnson & Johnson recipients came up in the last 24 hours, Fauci said. People who have gotten one of the shots should not worry.

The first bit of advice is really don’t worry very much because just as we said, it’s a very, very rare event. That’s the first thing. The second thing, the bracket of time when this occurs was between six and 13 days. So it’s between one and two weeks. So if you got your vaccine several weeks ago, then it makes it even less likely that you should have any concern at all,” he added.

“If you’ve had it within a few days, just stay heads-up for symptoms, severe headache, abdominal pain, chest pain, things like that.”

Officials say the pause enables them to probe the cases of blood clotting, and allows health workers to prepare for treating cases in which vaccines may be involved, because they require different treatment from that of most clots.

Scare the people now so they don’t want the vaccine and just stay home afraid.

RE: ‘Strong Similarities’ Between Post-Vaccination Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca Blood Clots

Aren’t they both based on Adenovirus vector technology?

So far the people with J&J blood clots are ALL WOMEN between 18-48 years old.

Does that suggest that maybe, just maybe, they are on oral (pill) contraceptives?

Which are 1000 times more likely to cause blood clots compared to the J&J vaccine?

Somebody has decided to sabotage J&J. First the Baltimore "human error", then the blood clot issue, then this comparison to AstraZeneca.

Consider it like monitoring the opponent's radio transmissions. Yeah, it's propaganda, but it gives you some clues about what they're thinking, even if only indirectly.

Fauci owns patents used by Pfizer and has a conflict of interest

That was my first thought. Plus, 6 in almost 7 million jabbed? Correlation is not causation often times.

Yes, both J&J and AstraZeneca are adenovirus-based. I believe J&J uses a human adenovirus, while AstraZeneca uses a chimpanzee adenovirus. Otherwise the technology appears to be very similar. My opinion, is that that mRNA vaccines (i.e. Moderna and Pfizer) seem somewhat preferable to the adenovirus-based vaccines because they are bit less invasive. I say “less invasive” because the adenovirus-based vaccines use the adenovirus to get DNA into the cell nucleus which then produces mRNA which is used by the rhibosome floating about in the cytoplasm to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, while the mRNA vaccines don’t need to go into the cell nucleus as they are transporting mRNA for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein through the cell wall into the cytoplasm.

Do you have any proof? Can you point me to the patents you are referring to? I just did a search on Google Patents and every patent I came across with Anthony Fauci as an inventor has the Department of Health and Human Services as the assignee. I am an inventor on a couple of patents where Google is the assignee and I have made exactly $0 from these patents.

I’ll add another one.

This will push the herd in its quest to the Pfizer/Moderna injection because they will be perceived as being relatively “safer”

“So far the people with J&J blood clots are ALL WOMEN between 18-48 years old.”

21 year old male from Ohio just died last weekend one day after the J&J shot.

It’s not noise. Dr. Fallacy is a competitor.

Dr. Fallacy is connected and worked with Moderna to get them in on the vaccine gravy train.

That’s why he resisted HCQ therapies so much and the opposition to Ivermectin.
Both are cheap, widely available drugs known for safety and effectiveness.

There are excellent reasons to fear the “vaccine.“ Not so much covid. It’s entirely possible that in this case the cure is far worse than the disease
