Concerns about the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine have intensified following reports of three Norwegian health workers suffering from blood clots and a low count of blood platelets after receiving the jab. Reuters has the story.
Three health workers in Norway who recently received the AstraZeneca vaccine against Covid are being treated in hospital for bleeding, blood clots and a low count of blood platelets, Norwegian health authorities said on Saturday.
Norway halted on Thursday the rollout of that vaccine, following a similar move by Denmark. Iceland later followed suit.
“We do not know if the cases are linked to the vaccine,” Sigurd Hortemo, a senior doctor at the Norwegian Medicines Agency told a news conference held jointly with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
All three individuals were under the age of 50.
The European medicine regulator EMA would investigate the three incidents, Hortemo added.
“They have very unusual symptoms: bleeding, blood clots and a low count of blood platelets,” Steinar Madsen, Medical Director at the Norwegian Medicines Agency told broadcaster NRK.
“They are quite sick…We take this very seriously,” he said, adding authorities had received notification of the cases on Saturday.
AstraZeneca was not immediately available for comment.
A number of European countries have halted the rollout of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine following reports of negative side effects relating to blood clots. AstraZeneca has highlighted that there have been “no confirmed serious adverse events associated with the vaccine”, but is supportive of ongoing investigations.

Using them as a bribe to curry favor I’ll wager! Not what Germany intended!
Knuckle draggers!
The clowns who organised this handover, the current SPD/Greens/FDP government of Germany, doubtlessly never intended anything here but were -as usual – acting under orders of their US superiors.
“A public good has thus become private property.”
Tou mean: Public property has thus become private property.
Public Good (plural, Public Goods) has a specific meaning in economics. It has nothing to do with ownership of its virtue. A Public Good is non-excludable and non-rivalrous. An example is street lighting. Nobody can be excluded from using it; if more people ‘use’ it, it doesn’t mean each gets less. It cannot be controlled/rationed by pricing. This means it is difficult for private enterprise to supply it and make a profit, and is used to justify State provision.
The opposite is Private Good, which is excludable and rivalrous. Example: electricity. A consumer can be excluded by switching off the current; the more people using it means less available for each. It can be controlled/rationed by pricing. A profitable business can be established.
‘Europeans paid for the slaves with brass rings that became the raw material for the bronzes.’
So the slaves were sold by their own kings and chiefs. Should the Benin Bronzes then be sold by the Nigerians and the money paid in reparations to the descendants of these slaves in the US and elsewhere?
In fact shouldn’t all the Countries of Africa be paying reparations?
The President didn’t return Benin’s empire to the Oba as the rightful owner, then…
A glance at the President’s name gives a clue about how bothered about non-Islamic artifacts he is likely to be.
Check out the record of the Taliban & Isis when dealing with key cultural artifacts from Afghanistan to Syria.
Even the wannabe little Caliph in Ankara has converted the Haghia Sophia, the great Cathedral of Byzantium, back to being a mosque.
Note also the Benin bronzes previously returned to Nigeria in decades past, that have subsequently shown up in the New York art market.
Great job Archbishop Welby and all his woke chums.
