Blood clot after AZ vaccine

[Lightout]

My friend was unique in life, she was 1 in a million when alive in now statistically 5 in a million in death. 💔

Like myself, she was relieved when she was invited to get her vaccine.
She was 50 years old with no underlying issues. Strong, fit and healthy!

10 days after after vaccine......
she had a busy day ahead, and had an annoying headache , took a couple of paracetamol and got on with her day. The following day, she didn’t feel great, but again, a busy day, had work appointments to attend, took a couple of paracetamol and got on with her day.

And that was the end.....
She had a cerebral blood clot which resulted in her death.
Because of the low level of platelets , it has been confirmed that the vaccine did indeed cause this blood clot.

I am not posting this to scare people into not getting vaccine.
I am posting this to ask people to be very, very vigilant and if you have a headache a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks , 4 weeks after getting vaccine, please, please, seek medical advice.

@SheeshazAZ09

Why haven’t they reported it to the yellow card scheme?

Gosh. Is this in U.K.?

SheeshazAZ09
These cases will have been reported by the doctors via yellow card scheme if they believe them to be as a result of the vaccine.

So sorry Lightout. It’s not fair.

That's heartbreaking.

I thought the headaches were excruciating though? Not responsive to paracetamol.

I think they need to clarify this ASAP if it's not a bad headache you need to watch for.

I'm so sorry to hear the loss of your dear friend, so young too, its heartbreaking to read.

Thank you for posting this hopefully it will make more people aware and to see their Gp if they have any head pain even weeks afterwards.

I don’t believe it was a severe headache.
It was sore enough for her to mention it, which in hindsight, her partner is wishing he thought more of it. But when you have a busy life, she was a key worker, and kids to organise, then like most of us, we soldier on!

Yes, this happened in uk.

That's awful and really worrying too.

Her poor husband. How would he have known? Just tragic.

This is truly tragic and I’m sorry for your lost.

Similar has happened to my aunt, slightly older at 54. She was a nurse, got up for work on a Friday with what she thought was a start of a cold, head fuzzy. Paracetamol and went to work. Saturday felt worse didn’t go into work-first sick day in 15years, saw out of hours gp who diagnosed sinusitis. Early hours Sunday morning she woke up,collapsed in bathroom,husband called ambulance rushed to hospital and eventually diagnosed with a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Stable for 36hours but deteriorated and sadly died 4days later.
This happened in 2007, so obviously nothing to do with covid or AZ.

My aunt had an extremely rare condition that was undiagnosed, why I’m posting this is just to say: heartbrokenly, these one in however million events, can and do occur. Life can be so cruel and so precious at the same time, make the most of it when we can.

I had a friend in 2018 who died of a blood clot on the brain at 25, absolutely heartbreaking. Unfortunately it's a random killer and comes on quickly, he was on the local football pitch at the time playing Sunday league posting to show this has always happened and AZ vaccine was not the cause of my friend's death

So sorry for your loss. This potential side effect concerns me greatly, I have decided not to take the vaccine.

@SheeshazAZ09 - I don’t believe a word of that. Basically everyone you know had a serious adverse effect to the vaccine. Yeh ok. When millions upon millions are fine. 🙄 Anti-Vax to the max.

Sorry about your friend OP. It’s so sad. One of my friends in college died of a blood clot on the brain, he was just milling around the food hall & collapsed. 18. It tore me apart for a long time, it really scared me that you can just drop dead. I’ve always tried to live life to the most I can after that, because tomorrow is never promised.

Meant to say of course, "This has not happened with these vaccines in spite of the fact that no similar vaccine (based on mRNA technology) has ever been commercialised before for human use."

@SheeshazAZ09 what do you mean by ' gene therapy ' ? When referring to the AZ vaccine?

@SheeshazAZ09 AZ is not an MRna vaccine?

Pfizer and Moderna are MRNA. AZ is a vector vaccine.

@SheeshazAZ09

Meant to say of course, "This has not happened with these vaccines in spite of the fact that no similar vaccine (based on mRNA technology) has ever been commercialised *before* for human use."

AZ is not mRNA

Whoops apologies, too early in the morning for my brain! Pfizer is mRNA; AZ is adenoviral vector. These vaccines work in a gene therapy type mechanism in that they are teaching the cells to produce the spike protein of the coronavirus. The problem seems to be, according to the researcher I spoke to, that that body doesn't just attack the spike protein, which is the desired response, but attacks the body's cells indiscriminately. Hence immune type response blood clots and other effects.

[quote SheeshazAZ09]@HolmeH "Everyone I know"? No. I mentioned that I had a small circle of friends and family (true). Almost all of whom have had a vaccine, and 3 have had serious adverse effects. So hardly "everyone I know" but not "no one" either, and not so incredibly rare as some make out. Millions may be fine; others are not. Look at the US vaccine adverse event reporting system, which is more transparent than the UK one: vaers.hhs.gov/data.html
--and learn. And did you not hear about the number of countries that have suspended or restricted the AZ vaccine?

Incidentally the AZ vaccine works via a gene therapy route. A gene therapy medical researcher I know told me that even if one person has a serious adverse event in a gene therapy trial or dies, the whole trial stops until the cause is sought. This has not happened with these vaccines in spite of the fact that no similar vaccine (based on mRNA technology) has ever been commercialised for human use. Instead the vaccine programme just rolls on, albeit some countries have now suspended this particular vaccine.[/quote]
You are wrong and I’ve reported

The researcher I spoke to (who develops vaccines himself) added that he is refusing the mRNA and adenoviral vector vaccines for this reason; instead he is waiting for the protein based vaccines to come out, which he thinks will be safer. He worries about autoimmunity, including Alzheimer's, as a possible side-effect of the spike-protein producing vaccines. The blood clots we are seeing fall right into this inappropriate immune response area.

@SheeshazAZ09 the body is supposed to recognise the spike protein when it comes into contact with SARS-cov-2. So it spike protein type antibodies. Are you saying that those antibodies just randomly start attacking the body in other places ?

@Petalpup I've corrected my one mistake (that the AZ is mRNA) so why do you feel the need to report? Are you that scared of an open discussion about vaccine side effects? Just curious.
