The Prime Minister received his first dose of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine last month and said that all Brits should get theirs when told to do so. But now, the UK’s medicines regulator is being urged to restrict the AZ jab for younger people because of fears over blood clotting.
At the end of March, Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) said that the risk of blood clots is greatest for women aged under 55. In response, both Canada and Germany limited their AstraZeneca vaccine rollouts to those over 55 and 60, respectively. Channel 4 News has revealed that Britain’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is also considering issuing similar advice. Reuters has the story.
Britain’s health regulator is considering a proposal to restrict the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in younger people over concerns about very rare blood clots, Channel 4 News [has] reported…
“Two senior sources have told this programme that while the data is still unclear there are growing arguments to justify offering younger people – below the age of 30 at the very least – a different vaccine,” the broadcaster reported.
The UK’s regulator, the MHRA, has previously said the benefits of the vaccine in the prevention of Covid far outweigh any possible risk of blood clots.
The MHRA did not immediately respond to a comment on the Channel 4 report.
After receiving his first dose, Boris Johnson said: “The Oxford jab is safe… The thing that isn’t safe is catching Covid, which is why it is so important that we all get our jabs as soon as our turn comes.” Channel 4 News reports that authorities are now investigating whether the AstraZeneca vaccine might actually pose a greater risk for younger people – particularly young women – than Covid itself.
The UK [medicines] regulator, the MHRA, and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation are urgently scrutinising whether younger people – particularly women – could be at greater risk of getting a potentially fatal blood clot after the AstraZeneca jab than they are of dying from Covid. In either case, though, the risk is very small.
Last month, the European Medicines Agency said the AZ Covid vaccine is “safe and effective” to use, but highlighted that it “cannot rule out definitively” a link to a rare clotting disorder.

This is turning into another absolute shambles/shit show. Only to be expected when an experimental vaccine is rushed into use without undergoing the usual 2-3 years of testing.
“We told you that something like this would happen” doesn’t even begin to cover it.
You are 100% correct.
So the initial trials were on mainly under 55s with no underlying conditions, so have no idea of the effect on the elderly. I suspect judging by the spike in deaths in care homes late Dec and Jan these will be put down to their on going illnesses or age. Quite worrying they are still rolling out at all if to there are these concerns.
From my understanding, I thought that the elderly are more prone to circulatory problems but they made sure all the elderly got it first despite the fact that hardly any trials have been completed to see how it would effect them. Any attributed deaths and side effects seem to be blamed on other conditions or illness.
Its a sneaky way to reduce the healthcare and state pension costs without being accused of genocide.
Terms that have been redefined;
Pandemic
Herd Immunity
Vaccine
Normal
And now: Safe.
Safe is allegedly now redefined as causing an acceptable, but unspecified number of deaths, currently 700.
The CDC VAERS makes for an eye watering read. Some suspect only 1% of adverse events and deaths post vaccine are reported. None the less those reported to date are worrying. Funny how they NEVER get mentioned.
Just wait till the genetically altered fuckwits start going down with Antibody Dependent Response, and cytokine storms.
Newspeak
My 96 year old Pa had the second injection nine days ago and is now a wreck. I very much fear for his life. Enquiries into this bloody “vaccine” have got to be instituted at once.
Excuse to spend more money on rna vaccines? They have the same effects.
“What is not safe is catching the disease” well that may have been for you, you fat fuck but for 99% of people it has done nothing at all. They keep pushing the same unproven bullshit, masks work, asymptomatic transmission, lockdowns work and my models are correct. Every single one of these have been proven to be wrong. There are 30 scientific papers proving lockdowns don’t work. Who are the only so called scientists saying these measures work? That’s right the arseholes from sage. If you cannot see this will never change despite having hundreds of thousands of people in Sweden and some US states living normally then this will go on forever. Back to normal now pushed back to 2022. Fuck off. Join the freedom march. Civil disobedience is the only way out.
100% correct
I have checked and Boris Johnson does not have any medical or science qualifications so I am not sure what qualifies him to pronounce the vaccines safe and instruct all and sundry to have it. Anyone who has one of the vaccine and suffers serious adverse effects should attempt to sue Johnson personally.
What’s more, the fat fuck allegedly already had covid so why would he need a vaccine? Here’s hoping the second dose finishes him off
Surely GPS who deal with the fallout of clumsy gov’t decisions are seeing a large number of adverse effects from these vaccines. I am a simple layman and I know of at least a dozen! What is going on?
Why is it that it is totally unacceptable for a person to die of Covid no matter their age or underlying health conditions yet perfectly alright for people to die or suffer serious health complications as a result of the vaccine.
God, how I hope Bozo (and Witless etc) get the blood clots which they so richly deserve!
But I thought everyone who wasn’t sure about the vaccine was a selfish, stupid idiot. A Covid denier, conspiracy theorist, scare mongerer…? I’ve seen multiple posts shared by nhs nurses stating how amazingly safe and effective it is. Always nurses, by the way, rarely doctors.
Obviously those nurses had immunology & virology degrees, probably from Imperial College.
‘Clear’ link between AstraZeneca jab and blood clots, says regulator
https://mol.im/a/9432593
If MHRA do advise young people should not have the Astra Zenica jab then this would be great excuse for the government to delay lifting restrictions. Just a thought………….
I certainly wouldn’t put it past them!
No one expects to take a vaccine and die from ot. What is the MHRA waiting for?
