The UK’s medicines regulator recorded 30 blood clot cases after the first 18 million doses of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine. The MHRA insists that the benefits of the jab still “far outweigh any known side effects”. Sky News has the story.
Thirty blood clotting cases were reported in the UK after the first 18 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the medicines regulator has said.
The figure is 25 more than previously reported.
The count was updated as part of a rolling review into Britain’s Covid vaccines, with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency stressing the benefits of the jab “far outweigh any known side effects”.
Concerns have been raised about blood clots after a tiny proportion of cases among the tens of millions who have received the AstraZeneca jab.
Some countries, such as Germany, have restricted its use to certain ages but the European medicines watchdog and the World Health Organisation both say it’s safe and effective.
The MHRA said on Thursday there had been “22 reports of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and eight reports of other thrombosis events with low platelets”.
The figures cover December 9th 2020 to March 21st this year, when 15.8 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine had been administered, and around 2.2 million second doses.
The regulator stressed that all medicines have potential side effects and that the benefits of both Covd jabs means people should not hesitate to get vaccinated.
“The number and nature of suspected adverse reactions reported so far are not unusual in comparison to other types of routinely used vaccines,” said the MHRA report.
CVST is a rare condition and is potentially fatal. A number of countries have reported such cases in relation to the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine. The Financial Times reports:
In Norway, health officials have reported at least six such cases among 120,000 recipients of the jab, four of whom died. In Germany, 31 cases have been reported after 2.7 million vaccinations, including 29 women aged between 20 and 63, and two men aged 36 and 57. Nine of them have died.
Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) has said that the risk of blood clots is greatest for women aged under 55. Both Canada and Germany have now limited their AZ vaccine rollouts to those over 55 and 60, respectively.

“Based on current experience, the expected benefits of both COVID-19 vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and its serious complications far outweigh any known side effects”

I suppose based on future experience they might come to a different conclusion
Vitamin D would provide a better and safer benefit.
Been taking Vit D for years myself. Rarely get anything more than brief sniffles as my immune system kicks in when I’m exposed to an illness. Just take an nap and I’m as right as rain! Of course, I haven’t had a flu jab in decades either.
Immune system? What sacrilege is this??? Yes I too hardly catch anything. Perhaps they should study us and see what we do? In my case eating proper food and getting out in the sun is a large part of it. Probably not eating many carbs and avoiding wheat and industrially produced omega 6 seed oils.

Quite so: 30 ‘reported’, but how many actually occurred?!
I mean, really! I was sent a copy of the Daily Expose with an ominous roll- call of deaths and serious adverse events, gleaned from the government’s own figures. I don’t know how much the Daily Expose is to be trusted as a news source, but it hasn’t much competition nowadays, especially the BBC.
The one thing I do take away from these ‘co-incidental’ effects is that few adverse events actually get reported, and the vaccine roll-out can be counted in just WEEKS; something that those who would brush aside or discount the post- vaccine deaths as ‘to be expected’, tend to overlook.
What’s a blood clot between friends, after all its for the greater good isn’t it?
Listen to this and weep, I did.

“30 blood clot cases linked to AstraZeneca vaccine reported, but experts say ‘benefits outweigh risks – for now, but who knows about the future there’s all sorts of stuff that could crop up that we haven’t thought of – thing is we skipped the testing stages and are winging it because we’ve been inside for a year and are hysterical”
There’s more side effects than just post fatal blood clots.
There’s heart attacks. Bell’s Palsy. Guillain Barre disease. Transverse myelitis. Blindness. Deafness. Anaphylactic shock…
But the benefits outweigh the risks.
There should be negligible risk…
but experts say ‘benefits outweigh risks’
For the over 70s -maybe; For the under 30s – I suspect not.
Exactly. I know someone in his 60s with diabetes. He’s not taken good care of himself, and he got the AZ jab. Could make sense in his case – and it was his decision. But for anyone in good health, including lots of us over 60s, it’s not worth the risk to our own health.
And, of course, since it doesn’t prevent transmission, I’m not willing to have it to “protect other people”.
And for anyone who’s already had covid.
Seems like they’ve been sitting on this while the UK media mock the vaccine hesitancy of Germany/Norway/Canada etc.
I hope this is true. I want those monsters put on trial and face the death penalty!

And ANY medical man who has gone along with this atrocity.
In other news The Pill is still available despite increased risk of blood clots while taking it.
Even in Europe.
But they’re not trying to force people to take the Pill, whether they need it or not, or introduce a Pill passport.
The pill actually provides a benefit that people might want. Not getting pregnant.
People are prepared to risk a blood clot to prevent something that could be life altering.
Protecting people from a disease that presents negligible risk to the young and healthy, while at the same time having a partially characterised safety profile, including numerous ill effects of varying seriousness, incidence and duration does not have the same balance. Because the risk/benefit is hopelessly skewed to the risk.
I see what you did there. These cases are not linked to clotting episodes that are expected with the pill.
Yet another silly analogy. I took the pill briefly in my 20s. I stopped because of the side effects, which are reversible. A vaccine is not reversible. You can’t “untake” it. Are you going to whip out the “drivers licence” one or the “passport” one next?
I suspect that the many in the medical profession are guilty of failing to report adverse reactions. One of my oldest friends had covid in October last year, spent four days in bed and made a full recovery, received the AZ jab four weeks ago and has been on a ventilator for the last two weeks having developed mysathenia gravis and going into crisis. According to his GP it was probably caused by his bout of covid and absolutely nothing to do with vaccine.
I suspect these medicos are the same ones who have been so complicit in fraudulently completing death certificates.
You obviously know more about this case than I do, but it could also just be a simple case of the “god complex” than some medical people have.
More than 10 years ago, an oncologist told me that they “couldn’t be responsible” for what would “happen” to me if I refused chemotherapy for cancer. I had reviewed the relevant medical literature and knew I had an 85% chance of survival without any treatment beyond surgery. I asked the oncologist for her statistics on how chemo would help me – she said “we don’t give that kind of information to patients” and that it was “just their intuition” that it would help.
Unfortunately, too many medical people seem to overestimate their knowledge and competence. BTW, I didn’t have the chemo and the cancer did not recur. Strangely enough, I’m still alive, and healthy almost 14 years later.
I hope your friend recovers.
Thank you for your good wishes and great to hear your positive story.
The so-called vaccines do not give immmunity or stop infecting others. So the risk of dying from blood clots is measured against what exactly, an absolute chance of under 1% of not getting a headache?
The ‘expected benefits’ are deep smelly stuff.
“the benefits of the jab “far outweigh any known side effects”
But that’s not true for the young healthy women who have suffered death or injury due to this blood clotting issue, is it? Because they are at vanishingly small risk of death or serious injury from COVID-19, and while risk of death from this blood clotting issue is small, judging from the figures coming out of Norway, the risk is in a similar ballpark (1 in 40,000 versus perhaps 1 in 10,000 for the virus).
We need to be really clear that the clotting side effect is not “ordinary clots” like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. These occur in much greater numbers than the cerebral venous sinus thrombosis which is a specific, rare, and much more serious issue, and is what is occurring. 30 cases in young people is very worrying.
Also, I am clinical in the nhs and have yellow carded 6 patients so far this year, who have had a first seizure within 24 hours of having their vaccine.
Thanks. I didn’t know that. Interesting.
The MHRA need to be a lot more honest with their figures. If the vast majority of blood clots affect women under 55 then rather than saying 18 million doses of the vaccine have been given, they should say how many doses have been given to younger women. I guess the figure would be under 500,000 mainly health care workers and women with comorbidities (at least some of whom will have had the pfizer jab). Therefore the actual risk to young women could be in the region of 1 in 10,000 which is probably much higher than the risk of a healthy young woman dying from Covid. At the very least the actual risks based on age and sex not the population in general has to be explained to people before they have the jab. Not doing so must break medical ethics.
It seems like other countries may actually have got this right.
Good point!
This side effect should be called VIPIT.It should not be called blood clots because this is a specific disease.Don’t let MSM steer the language to describe something which will only confuse.You can already see comparisions with venous thrombosos,p pill risk etc all done ad nausem.
It is not the same thing.This is a specific disease which would not come if they would not have been vaccinated.
The other thing is how often? “Common” in Norway or “extremely rare” as in UK? Is it restricted to younger women or not? (probably not but propensity in women)
Then the most difficult question,is VIPIT underreported in substandard health system incl,.Europe? Some say defintely,picked up first by the most sophisticated health care systems.
Another very relevant difficult question which no one has an answer to yet. Is VIPIT occuring also in the elderly but not being picked up as some final resluts of VIPIT would be brain haemorraghe,camouflaging the underlying diagnosis VIPIT as it was not looked for (checked for thrombocytes).?
The “conspiratory” question,is this tiny risk just Russian roulette? It just depends if that vaccine vial you’ve got had all or some part of it, subcontracted to the cheapest producer in India or another third world country?
Just having below a picture of the death rate for C-19 done by Stockholm Univ. factoring in the underlying health care system and once published in BMJ. It gives death rate per age group,underlying conditions and more importantly in this question according to sex.
I would recommend any woman contemplating this travel/pub vaccine to have a look before deciding
So in James Delingpole’s interview with the fabulous Dr Mike Yeadon he explains all the risks and why nobody (who does not have any comorbidities), should not be injecting this untested, experimental jab into them. And where do we find this? You know on a site trying to prove why lockdowns don’t work and why we should be just left alone to get on with our lives. Oh in other news. This site is really pissing me off. You are just posting articles that are utter crap from the msm without any outrage or angry comments. And in other news the government will stick you in quarantine if you are unjabbed after holiday. WHAT, you think this is not important enough to smash this discrimination against people who have chosen not to be part of a scientific experiment.
The CDC VAERS makes for an interesting read. Some 52,000 adverse events, 2,200+ deaths and serious injury also high.
Suggest everyone take a look at the link below and also the video posted within the article. Had a look at the official MHRA site yesterday and between 3/2/21 and 23/3/21 116,627 adverse reactions and 283 deaths from the Pfizer “vaccine” and 377,487 adverse reactions and 421 deaths from the AstraZeneca one were recorded on the Yellow Card System. Why is that not hitting the MSM. Any clues?!
