Scientists believe they have solved the mystery behind the extremely rare blood clots caused by the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. MailOnline has more
A team of international experts, involving researchers from AstraZeneca, say that in a very small number of cases – about one in 100,000 in the U.K. – the vaccine can set off a chain reaction which leads to the body confusing its own blood platelets for fragments of virus.
The British-made vaccine is thought to have saved about a million lives from Covid and was the backbone of the U.K.’s initial rollout earlier in the year, helping it to become the most vaccinated country in the West.
But concerns about clots saw its restriction in under-40s in the U.K. in spring and led Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines being favoured for young adults and as boosters. It was outright banned in many European countries and the US decided not to purchase a single dose.
The U.K. Government gave an emergency grant to a team of scientists led by Cardiff University to investigate the clotting phenomenon.
They found that the shell of the vector vaccine — the weakened cold virus used to teach cells how to neutralise Covid – sometimes acts like a magnet and attracts platelets, a protein found in the blood.
For reasons the scientists are still probing, the body then mistakes these platelets as a threat and produces antibodies to fight them. The combination of the platelets and the antibodies clumping together leads to the formation of dangerous blood clots.
But they stress this is extremely rare, with only 426 cases in the U.K. recorded the cases so far out of about 50million doses of the vaccine, equivalent to less than one in 100,000. The side effect has been linked to 73 deaths in the U.K.
Researchers are now doing further work to learn more about the process that causes these clots and if the vaccine can be tweaked to reduce this risk.

“the mystery behind the extremely rare blood clots”
What mystery? As I recall, Doctors for Covid Ethics made a reasoned scientific case months ago that accurately predicted the danger of blood clots.
And one strongly suspects they are not as “extremely rare” as this story says.
‘What mystery? As I recall, Doctors for Covid Ethics made a reasoned scientific case months ago that accurately predicted the danger of blood clots.’
My thoughts exactly!
But they’re part of the wrong party. Hence, whatever they say doesn’t matter. The private is political at it’s finest. There no facts. Only political standpoints and narratives springing from them. Died from blood clutting after doing … is also just a narrative. It’s not useful, hence, it must be suppressed. And what no right minded person would ever believe cannot exist.
I watched a broadcast by Prof Bhakdi explaining that these jabs would cause blood clots early last Spring. He was silenced by the MSM and Big Tech.
Is that with one dose..two doses… a booster… a further booster?
After the booster will come the updated vaccine. Sometime Feb-March I’d guess. This way it won’t be a booster but will be a whole new thing. This way the plates will keep spinning that little longer.
I’d note that the updated jab won’t work particularly well either.
It will be a fifth jab by July. Sixth in September and seventh beginning a year from now. Nice work if you can get it…
“I’d note that the updated jab won’t work particularly well either”
But the 5th will…er…OK the 6th will….maybe the seventh then……
This depends very much on the definition of working. It’s supposed to protect people from a rarely occurring complication of COVID-19 because that’s conjectured to be cheaper and more effective than treating the sick.
It will not and cannot ever protection against detection of unauthorized RNA fragments via PCR-amplification. And that’s what has been used to drive the pandemic simulation since summer and is again being used now. This has been nothing but a test-driven scam for months.

“1 in 100,000”
I needed a good laugh!
The DM is not particularly good with arithmetic. When crowds of anti-vax-mandate protestors are in their tens of thousands the DM talks about “100s” of them
For argument sake, let’s say the incidence of blood clots IS 1-in-100,000 among the vaccinated.
Well, what is the incidence of death or severe medical emergencies from someone “with” COVID in a specific age cohort? Let’s say someone healthy aged 18 to 30.
The risk of death (or ICU admission) for this group is going to be far lower than 1-in-100,000.
And we are just talking about one condition – blood clots. Add all the other “adverse” health reactions and the risk to this person is going to be much higher than 1-in-100,000.
Also, we occasionally do read stories that acknowledge that the risk of death or severe medical cases among the young is “rare.” But these stories never quantify how exceedingly rare this risk is.
Talk about your microscopic risks – The risk of some healthy 5 to 30 year-old dying from COVID is, literally, 0.0001 percent. I would say that’s “extremely rare” too.
Now they just have to figure out what caused the other 1000+ deaths immediately following the AZ vaccine from other causes, in the UK alone, as well as the thousands more worldwide.
Death after an AZ vaccine from this cause may be #extremelyrare, but death from all causes is not so rare.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1036447/COVID-19_AstraZeneca_Vaccine_Analysis_Print_DLP_17.11.2021.pdf
Deaths post AZ vaccine from clot related issues aren’t extremely rare — they’re just not counting them properly.
And, as you say, beyond that there are a whole host of other problems.
Extremely rare….
Rubbish.
This might explain why the AZ vaccine is more likely to cause blood clots because of a ‘rare’ additional factor.
The elephant in the room is that both the mRNA (Pfizer, Moderna) and viral vector(AZ) vaccines cause blood clots, and they are not ‘extremely rare’. This mechanism in the AZ, if true, merely adds to the clotting problem in some persons.
It can ‘sometimes enter the blood stream’. You bet – it will find its way there in the end. And the whole purpose of these vaccines is, whether by lipid nanoparticle or adenovirus vector, to invade your body cells and turn them into zombie cells churning out cytotoxic spike protein.
In the bloodstream the cells nearest at hand are the epithelial cells lining the blood vessels. Turn them into zombie cells churning out cytotoxic proteins and you are setting up conditions for blood clotting.
So this ‘news’ is a smokescreen: associate all the blood clotting (not just an additional amount) with this mechanism, and make out that the mRNA vaccines are fine and dandy because they don’t use viral vectors.
plus the shots act like diabetes spiking insulin
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC8546144/
They were well aware of the risks of clotting in adenovirus vector treatments/vaccines years ago — just do a Google search for adenovirus thrombosis with a year range of 2000-2019 — there are dozens of papers on the matter.
The problem is that they didn’t tell people that there was this risk and thus people weren’t aware of the potential dangers in the vaccine. So much for informed consent.
What’s worse is that when clot related problems started emerging the world’s governments and media stated categorically that people were making things up and that the vaccines were safe. I note that none of these organisations will now say sorry for not listening.
But of course they don’t need to say sorry, as this latest finding suggests that no-one knew that there was a risk before now. That’s why this news has been given such prominence in the media even if it is incorrect — it makes it sound as though the risk wasn’t known before and thus effectively absolves our authorities of guilt.
I also note that the problems appear to be much greater than indicated in the current reporting. In the Hippisley-Cox paper on thrombosis related issues they found nearly 20,000 hospitalisations for clot related issues within 28 days of the first dose of vaccine, out of 20 million (that’s 1:1,000 hospitalised in that period just for the first dose, although I note that some will be a coincidence). (I note that that paper says that risks post vaccination are lower than the risks of covid, but it has been noted elsewhere that their use of the self-control method was fundamentally flawed and significantly underestimated the risks of vaccine induced problems).
Beyond that, I also note that the Hippisley-Cox analysis also found post-vaccination clot related problems for the Pfizer vaccine — over 12,000 hospitalisations out of about 10 million first jabs, or a slightly higher incidence of clot-related issues than the AZ jab.
I very much doubt that this amazing news that brave scientists have identified the clot problem for AZ is the end of this story.
Excellent post. I agree this is a “cover story,” basically saying, “Well, we didn’t know this would happen or might happen.” Of course they did.
and they didn’t know that aspiration is important to ensure the vaccine isn’t injected directly into the blood stream;). Mind you, if you’re a doctor getting thirty quid a per jab given this could half the cash you could make. Go go go.
I dispute the claim that it sometimes enters the blood stream, implying error on the part of the vaccinator or that it’s due to the expanse of blood vessels in muscles. I would like them to also explain why there is a high concentration in the ovaries for example… it’s because the mRNA is fully in the genetic material, replicating at will and invading every single organ as a result.
The human body is doing what it does best and trying to fight off something it doest recognise or agree with.
I would like to see a representative sample of D-dimer tests of 100,000 (the number in vogue) recipients of each vaccine. My hypothesis is that there would be traces of micro and full blown clots in a much higher percentage than 1 person.
Yes — the problem with clotting is that we’re only seeing the serious cases — how much damage is being caused by sub-clinical threshold clotting? Note that ‘sub-clinical-threshold’ doesn’t mean benign…
Yeah, in 1, 2, 5, 10 years, will that be the last trip up the stairs? Will we see a spike as long haul flights return…? SO many variables, it’s exciting as a conspiracy theorist.
> will that be the last trip up the stairs
Or to the football ground…
Last night 2 games stopped!
The new football pools – which game will have the “medical emergency”. I hate the euphemism they use “a fan taking ill,” puts me in mind of them vomiting all over their fellow fans not writhing around and fitting because the stress of shouting and singing loudly causes their heart to explode
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11682/12484616/wigan-boss-richardsons-cpr-saved-striker-wykes-life
Forgot about this one too from last week on top of Traore (Champions League), Aguero (La Liga), Eriksen (Euros) now a Wigan striker saved by CPR.
Its ridiculous, the rate is far beyond anything I’ve ever seen, I have been to 60+ Liverpool games at Anfield and a smattering around and never seen anything, in the 15 or so years of memory watching live sports I’ve heard of 3 or 4 athletes, not just footballers suffering from heart problems.
Saw of a tragic case of a 26 year old Scottish Rigby player who died, she was certainly vaxxed given their stringent rules. And lots of moves to decry it was related to the vaccines… right – international rugby player was perfectly fine before I wonder which miracle drug was jabbed into her…
I still think this is THE story that could change the whole BS narrative. Yes, about the “risk” of the vaccines, especially to healthy young people, which would of course include almost all athletes. But also a larger point could resonate belatedly with the masses: We should not trust the pronouncements of these people and experts; they are lying to us. If they were/are lying to us about this, they were probably lying about other things too.
Anyway, there is an obvious reason this massive spike in athlete deaths and medical emergencies is being suppressed.
At least long haul flights have two pilots, unlike the City Hopper ones that feed long haul hubs. One pilot dropping dead at the controls is worse than one long haul passenger shuffling off.
“D Dimer” test results keep being mentioned by the few contrarian doctors and nurses who have the courage to speak out … even if they are being ignored by the MSM.
Do exactly what you propose: Do a study of D Dimer test results in the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated.
Unfortunately my resources this month were used up buying presents and a tree, I will soon turn them to conducting hundreds of thousands of tests in the general populace. New year’s resolution maybe…
Here is a New Zealand nurse giving one testimonial about a vaccinated patient who DID get a D Dimer test. Note the response of the doctor after these test results came back at levels through the roof.
This video clip (about four minutes long) has gotten a grand total of 1,056 “views” world-wide. Maybe my post will up the number to 1,057.
https://odysee.com/@ETKE21:8/lbry69NewZealandNurseexplainswhatshe'scurrentlyseeinginhospital:3?fbclid=IwAR1kkGH9ukHeWLAEzDshSTFWeMgRArElqFngQSlHNrHNJeagBKS_7Watznc
Yes I saw that – obvious grain of salt applied – hence why I said I wanted to see someone do this study.
It’s all the studies they never do – and never will do – that really give us our most important “tell.”
There are a few studies regarding d dimer levels post vaccination. Annoyingly the one i was reading the other day showed d-dimer levels in people who weren’t rushed off to hospital/cemetery but of course i can’t find it. However, i did find this (Pathologic Antibodies to Platelet Factor 4 after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Vaccination | NEJM) . The typicaL D-dimer range according to this paper is 0-550 FEU but some of these people have levels of 10 times that but they are the lucky ones. The d-dimer levels for one poor sod are at 80000! All of the patients were considered healthy and fit at the time of vaccination, with one patient having a history of deep venous thrombosis.
Elevated D dimer levels are also perhaps THE signature lab test that shows a severe case of COVID. If someone is sick and has through-the-roof D Dimer levels there is a very good chance they have a severe case of COVID.
I actually got started on my COVID research by writing a feature story on a 39-year-old Alabama man who I am certain had COVID in December 2019. He almost died and was in ICU for 28 days.
His wife shared with me some of his lab results from his last visit to the ER before he was admitted to hospital in critical condition. His D-Dimer numbers were off the chart.
I forwarded these test results to a reporter for the Wall Street Journal – to support our conviction that this man DID have COVID when Covid was not supposed to even be in America. (He also later tested positive for antibodies, as did his wife – now three times).
I asked this reporter to share these lab results with doctors who had now treated many COVID patients and see what they thought.
She never did this. I also shared this info and the story I wrote with officials at the Alabama Department of Public Health and the CDC. My goal was to get at least one “public health official” to interview this couple and look at their medical records.
They never did.
Anyway, I long ago decided that “public health officials” are not interested in uncovering the truth. Or they know the truth and want to make sure the public never learns this truth.
To get to the part where the nurse starts talking about a D Dimer test for a patient go to 2:32 of this clip.
I have also heard the very plausible theory that the vaccine enters the bloodstream where it enters in both red cells and in the cells of the blood vessel walls. These cells start emitting corona proteins, which are detected by the immune system. The immune system then determines that the cells emitting these proteins must be infected, so it proceeds to attack them. This leads to blood clots as well to an autoimmune response.
Many of the post-jab problems appear to be related to vaccine induced autoimmune problems.
It would be interesting to know how different the AZ adverse effects picture would be if every vaccinator had avoided injected the vaccine into the bloodstream and injected it into the muscle where it was supposed to go.
It could still enter the bloodstream without such an accident – not to ignore the fact that the government relaxed the standard recruiting inexperienced staff for the roll out. Also, I had a friend who got this who is a doctor and he did not report maladministration.
This is a neat way of diverting attention away from the deliberate harm caused by the S1 Spike Protein itself, the dangers of which have been well known for at least a year.
Bet you if you post the link to https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abl8213?utm_medium=email&utm_source=CampaignMonitor_Editorial it won’t last one minute on youtube
‘Rare’ blood clots as in 895 of the last total of 1,789 deaths, summed from my weekly printout. These jabs are already 100s more dangerous than anything previously used.
More than half of these deaths are blood-clot related! That is approching the percentage of clots in the sponsored scientist community!
A government website reports that even serious events only get reported on Yellow Cards about 1 in 10 times
https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-update/yellow-card-please-help-to-reverse-the-decline-in-reporting-of-suspected-adverse-drug-reactions
A few whistleblowers who work in the medical profession confirm this. I remember one lady who worked for a medical group who describes how tedious and time consuming it is to go to the website and type in all the required data. She said most doctors didn’t want to deal with the hassle (or they didn’t want to challenge the narrative).
But she did … over and over …. Until the CEO of her medical group told her to cease and desist.
…. I refer to these people as “whistleblowers,” but are you really a “whistleblower” if the whistle you blow is only heard on obscure “alternative media” web sites?
All the media is funded by some interests, it’s only a matter of figuring out what interests are funding a particular media whether you think it’s alternative or not.
Yes, of course. I always quote thatt on my weekly fliers since April (attached are today’s figures by the way)
The point is that even the reported number of adverse reactions should be enough to abandon the whole experiment, without getting bogged down in how much more the numbers might be.
And, of course, there is no monitoring of long-term effects, deaths etc.
Thanks for this great presentation!
Great work, thanks for sharing your research Mike. You legend!
Only tweak worth considering…..put them all in the incinerator.
What this story proves is more gaslighting.
The recipes for these “vaccines” were clearly developed by Billy’s mob of bent scientists and then passed on to the Pharma companies. Governments across the world were told to give complete indemnity to the pharma companies and non-disclosure agreements also.
Astra had these “vaccines” made and ready to go last July. The suggestion that these were a rush job miracle is complete Bollox. The number and variety of adverse reactions suggests not flawed design but very clever design. People are dying in huge numbers but with lots of different ailments so it allows for easy excuses and cover ups.
Quite clever really, especially when the muppets have been well primed and are actually gagging for a stabbing.
Also, be leery of any story that uses the modifiers “extremely rare” without full context.
Every “authorized” story I read about the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in the vaccinated uses this description of risk.
However, these articles invariably are talking about the risk to the entire population. When you read the fine print – and narrow down the focus to those (young males) most at risk of developing these serious medical conditions, you see the risk is NOT “extremely rare” in this cohort. It’s as high as 1 in 3,000, per one Israel study. Or: As “high” as 1 in 10,000 per other studies.
These odds/probabilities need to be compared to the risk of a young male dying from COVID – which are, correctly calculated, about 1 in 1 million (if not more).
Yellow Card reports (put aside the under-reporting) use Pfizer as the control: AZ same doses as Pfizer both 20 million each. AZ has twice as many fatalities and side effects as Pfizer. That in itself should have alerted the MHRA a long time ago.
I’ve been struck by the huge number of events where athletes fall out in sporting events, perhaps from cardiac events. This “spike” in strange athlete medical dramas is said to be at least 5X greater than the previous 5-year-norm.
I’ve also observed that we have not seen as many of these stories in the USA. This led me to hypothesize that one reason might be that the U.S. vaccinated athletes got different jabs. Apparently, many in Europe got the Astra-zeneca jab. This tells me there might be a different in outcomes according to the jab.
I still think Pfizer and Moderna are producing many adverse reactions, but I also conjecture that many athletes in America (so they can play) have gotten the 1-shot Johnson and Johnson jab. Maybe some of these effects are not as common with that jab, which apparently is different.
This is something else that journalists could investigate. What percentage of these athlete medical emergencies occurred in athletes who got A, B, C and D shots? Of course, most of these stories don’t even report if the athletes had been vaccinated, although we all know 99 percent of them probably had.
A colleague’s son developed a lung clot less than 24 hours after his first jab, that wasn’t reported so is not one of the “extremely rare” 426 cases in the UK. The real number is tens of thousands, probably higher.
Very much doubt these reactions are as rare as reported.
A friend told me last week of her friend, who had AZ and got a blood clot, as well as petechiae. So clotting and bleeding.
At the hospital the nurses said sotto voce, “we’re seeing a lot of this. AZ was it?”
Was it reported? was it heck.
You know what? Even if it WERE only 1 in 100,000 (which it’s not) and this WERE the only side effect of the vaccine (which it’s not)…it’s STILL more dangerous to me (as a covid recovered person in good health) than the virus.
Think about all those healthy people aged 5 to, say, 30. Their odds of death “from” COVID are about 1 in 2 million. This is the approximate figure among healthy children (those without severe or life-altering pre-existing conditions) aged 0 to 17, according to one UK study.
So take the 1 in 100,000 figure as being accurate. That’s still 20 times higher than the mortality risk among healthy children.
None of these adverse effects are ‘rare’ – they are are ‘the tip of an iceberg’.
Saved a million lives?
Haha ok sure
Yes. Can we see their sums?
I have this idea that all this anti vaccine propaganda, especially menitoning names of companies like that is nothing else but creating a competitive scene to justify why money isn’t flowing to anyone else but america. Ah, yours are causing blood clots, what a pity, and mine are almost not causing it at all! You should buy mine if you want less risky vaccine! And millions of people are taking it like they’re investigating something, vaccines must be unsafe. All this circus, and people still believe they are going to escape vaccines by arguying about each one of them. They already captured your attention with all these arguments, we, as majority already accepted that the dangerous virus is here and we need protection.
“Extremely rare?” This is just ridiculous. It isn’t, and all the lying in Christendom won’t alter facts.
This is garbage – adenovirus was known to be associated with clots long before the vaccine was designed. The Oxford team must have known it, the MHRA must known it. It is not some unpredictable anomaly. They are completely to blame and they still have not withdrawn it anyway

Obviously, ‘Rare is Frequent’ belongs on the side of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth
This is what happens when no one is able to question research. There is a website that has a sole purpose to allow people to question scientific papers anonymously : https://pubpeer.com/. Normally this works very well and i have had a paper that was highlighted for data manipulation causing me to repeat loads of work which gave exactly the same result ( not that I’m bitter at all hah). Anyway, it seems that anybody that questions the official covid story on there is bombarded with comments in a fact check type stylee.
73 deaths (that they admit to), 73 bereaved families and no sign of stopping, instead let’s get a team of international experts “investigating the clotting phenomenon” whilst still asking the over 40s to do their duty and take a punt in the covid vaccine lottery.
73 families who are living without their loved ones and they still haven’t pulled AZ from use.
This is not about health it’s about the impostion of a global tyranny on the back of a manufactured medical emergency .. it’s about global Chinafication

Even mentioning this chap’s name had someone on FB laying into me with ‘fact checks’ of lies about the graphene oxide… Bless her, she’s had 3 jabs of Moderna & has been subjected to the Canadian fear factor. Wouldn’t it make more sense to see if another chemist or few can replicate his results?
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
The lies are now so blatant we know they are struggling to convince people to carry on with this terrible genocide. The big question now is how many are going to develop other life threatening diseases in a couple of years and what levels of trust will there be in national health care.
“the extremely rare blood clots”
I suppose it depends on what they mean by rare, but not that rare from what’s being reported I think.
This is the kind of knowledge they should have had BEFORE they starting jabbing people. That’s why we have a strict testing and trial regime. Which they DIDN’T follow.
Please can anyone explain how the claim to have saved 1 million lives can possibly stack up? The IFR has been established at ~1% so 100 million people would have need to have been infected (not far off twice the population)?
The youngsters (teens and twenty somethings) have called the AZ experimental biological the “clot shot” for nearly a year. Doesn’t take a genius to see what is in front of our eyes.
Point 4: Hahahahaha. Sometimes the body makes a mistake….hmmm to that many people. Pretty sure the mistake would be with the gene therapy being injected into them. Interestingly enough this sounds a lot like AED.
“The British-made vaccine is thought to have saved about a million lives from Covid” PROVE IT! And not from modelling.
