Denmark suspends Astra Zeneca vaccine over blood clot death - Not proven to be linked to the jab, but investigations are ongoing *title edited by MNHQ*

[Fluffymarshmallows]

A 49-year-old Austrian woman diedof ‘severe blood coagulation problems’ after taking the jab, and three more cases of blood clotting issues have been reported in the country.

Not proven to be linked to the jab yet, but investigations are ongoing.

All cases linked to the same batch which is interesting. Let's see what tests shows....

It has been ruled to be NOT linked to the jab

More AZ vaccines won’t be used in Europe 🙄 over 20 million stock piled so far, shelf life is 6 months, how many will end up in the bin?

"The European Medicines Agency, which is investigating the reports, said in a statement on Wednesday that information available at the moment indicates there’s no link between the batch and the blood clots. The reported cases are no higher than those seen in the general population, it added."

This is worrying-makes people like me more in the edge about the vaccine

So read the article, esp the bit about the lack of evidence.

No way will they admit to it being from the vaccine, lol.

That'll be because there is no evidence it is from the vaccine.

I can understand this, but there is no evidence yet that these cases are linked to the vaccine. Also, millions of people in the UK have had the AZ vaccine and there have been no reported deaths. I know people from their 40s to 80s who have had the AZ vaccine and are all fine.

Who are "they". Yes, people dying really is lol-worthy...

I have reported this thread. We have no evidence in this country of blood clotting being a risk. And no evidence from any other country either.

Millions of people have had AZ vaccine in the UK, without hardly any problems, yet it always seem to be in an EU country? I wonder why?

You need to change the title. The use of one particular batch has been suspended. The same batch of around a million doses was split up and sent to some other countries. So they have also temporarily stopped using that batch too.

The case in question, occurred 10 days after the vaccine. That makes it pretty damn unlikely it could be to blame since the vaccine is gone from your system within 24h.

The trouble with ANY mass vaccination program is that people die for all kinds of reasons all the time. It's inevitable that you get a couple of one particular issue that come near a vaccination and people start worrying about a link.

It's rather like if you invented a new paint colour for a car - a colour never before seen on the roads, and decided to start spraying millions of cars in this colour. Then suddenly in the same town, you get two fatal accidents involving this new colour - OOH - the colour must be dangerous!! Nope - because if you looked hard enough, you'd find the same thing happening SOMEWHERE with every other colour - it's just probabilities.

Let’s see what the outcome, We know that whatever the risk of blood clotting, it won’t be higher than the risk of covid deaths in healthy under 40s (1 in 1000 people, 0.1%)

Irresponsible reporting in the media as per usual. Huge scary headlines when there has been no link proven and there probably won't be. Millions of doses of this vaccine have been administered - why would Denmark be the only country with occurrences of blood clots?

I'd rather they reported than play it down.
If it turns out not to be linked no harm done.
People are almost fighting for the vaccine here, can't wait for their jab, I wouldn't worry if you are one of these, you'll all be done soon.
Side effects, or death, aside.

The Guardian says that there have been 22 cases (not deaths) reported among the 3 million people who had received the AZ vaccine as of 9 March. That's a tiny number and doesn't seem an abnormal figure for the usual general prevalence of blood clots.

To put it into perspective: Thrombosis UK say that in the UK up to one in every 1,000 people are affected by venous thrombosis each year. The BLF reperts that there were 2,300 deaths from pulmonary embolism in 2012. That's roughly 34 deaths per million population.

Reports not reperts!

"If it turns out not to be linked no harm done."

not really, there's a poster here already expressing alarm about the vaccines.
This reporting constitutes a public health risk.

If it turns out not to be linked no harm done.

But harm is done. People who were nervous about it read things like this and that makes them decide they won't be vaccinated. Even if papers then publish that there was in fact no link, a large proportion of those people won't then change their minds.

And a smaller proportion will think the new story about no link found proves there is a conspiracy and thus further perpetuating the whole 5G/Bill Gates/covid deniers/population control conspiracy theories that inevitably abound.

People who want the vaccine will have it, they can't wait. Thread after thread about how it's unfair they have to wait.
Those who don't want it won't, irrespective of any news reports.

Yeah big harm done in Europe re AZ vaccine, people will not want to use it, EU countries numbers are going up and up, this is very dangerous
