Ireland and the Netherlands have joined the list of countries that have suspended the use of AstraZeneca’s Covid vaccine because of fears over blood clotting. The Dutch Government has announced a suspension until at least March 29th. Both countries have paused their rollout efforts due to reports of “bleeding, blood clots and a low count of blood platelets” in health workers who had recently received the vaccine.
The Republic of Ireland’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer acknowledged in a statement that “it has not been concluded that there is any link between the Covid vaccine AstraZeneca and these cases [of clotting]”.
However, acting on the precautionary principal, and pending receipt of further information, the NIAC (National Immunisation Advisory Committee) has recommended the temporary deferral of the Covid vaccine AstraZeneca vaccination programme in Ireland.
The NIAC is due to meet again this morning. A further statement will follow thereafter.
AstraZeneca addressed these safety concerns in a statement issued at 6pm last night.
A careful review of all available safety data of more than 17 million people vaccinated in the European Union and UK with Covid Vaccine AstraZeneca has shown no evidence of an increased risk of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or thrombocytopenia, in any defined age group, gender, batch or in any particular country.
So far across the EU and UK, there have been 15 events of DVT and 22 events of pulmonary embolism reported among those given the vaccine, based on the number of cases the Company has received as of 8 March. This is much lower than would be expected to occur naturally in a general population of this size and is similar across other licensed COVID-19 vaccines. …
Furthermore, in clinical trials, even though the number of thrombotic events was small, these were lower in the vaccinated group. There has also been no evidence of increased bleeding in over 60,000 participants enrolled.
One particular batch of AstraZeneca vaccines (which is involved in reports of a death) was sent to 17 countries, an increasing number of which are putting the rollout of this vaccine on hold.
Stop Press: Health officials in Northern Ireland have announced that they will continue to use the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine after its suspension in the Republic of Ireland.

Don’t you get tired of being right and everyone calling you a conspiracy theorist because of it?
Yes. Because with a passive ADR reporting system and a large-scale rollout that is managed by the NHS, you can bet that the figures are larger than what we’re seeing. So you know you’re even MORE correct. And of course it’s only being picked up in the young. Because older folks have a tendency to throw clots. So the rate of death and damage is going to be much higher, but the association is going to be marked as coincidental, if at all, because if you die at 90 years old in a home, with little yo no family to care, and dementia, who’s going to reflect that it could have been the vaccine you received 12 hours earlier?
In the majority of women’s groups I am in (nothing to do with covid, and very pro-vaccine on the whole) vaccine reactions are prevalent, and we’ve lost 2 in the past month from sudden death “with covid-19” despite being vaccinated against it.
According to Yellow Card reporting, between 9 December and 21 February there were four hundred and sixty Covid 19 vaccination adverse reaction deaths. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting
The government is unconcerned because these deaths are (assumed) coincidences. The corporate media say nothing lest the plebs get the wrong idea.
“ This is much lower than would be expected to occur naturally in a general population of this size and is similar across other licensed COVID-19 vaccines. …”
What is the background level across the general population? How does that breakdown per demographic group? And how many of those experience the symptoms shortly after being vaccinated against covid?
