Blood Clot Cases Could Reduce Take-up of AstraZeneca Vaccine Among Young Women

Younger people – particularly young women – may turn down the AstraZeneca vaccine because of fears about blood clotting, health officials have warned. Thirty blood clot cases were recorded after the first 18 million doses of the jab. Two-thirds of patients with these rare conditions are female. The Observer has the story.

Health officials are becoming increasingly worried that younger people will reject Covid jabs as concerns about the AstraZeneca vaccine continue to grow. A total of 30 cases of rare blood clots have been linked to the jab in the UK, resulting in seven deaths. Eighteen million doses of the vaccine have been administered so far.

It is feared that younger women will be particularly anxious and may refuse to accept the vaccine because two-thirds of patients with these types of blood clots are female.

The link with blood clots, known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, CVST, has led Germany and the Netherlands to halt giving the vaccine to people under 60. However, the European Medicines Agency has said there is “no evidence” to support such restrictions, while the WHO has also urged countries to continue giving the jab.

Professor Paul Hunter, of the University of East Anglia, said that it was not uncommon to get clusters of rare events purely by chance. “But once you find that cluster in one population and it then crops up in another – such as previously in the German and now in the English – then I think the chances of that being a random association is very, very low,” he said.

“Clearly more work needs to be done, but I think the evidence is shifting more towards it being causally related at the moment.” However, he added that the risks of taking the AstraZeneca vaccine were still far outweighed by the risks of not getting it.

Faith in the AstraZeneca vaccine has fallen on the Continent because of reports of blood clots. A recent survey suggested that concerns about the AZ jab are now widespread in Denmark. More Danes would decline to get an AZ vaccine than would refuse to get a Covid jab altogether, highlighting that lower take-up is not simply the product of general vaccine scepticism. Reuters reported:

One in three Danes would decline to get a Covid shot using AstraZeneca’s vaccine, local media outlets TV 2 and Politiken reported late on Wednesday, citing a recent survey. …

The survey, conducted by Megafon among 1,053 persons, showed 33% of Danes would decline to get a shot with AstraZeneca’s vaccine. However, only 7% would decline regardless of which Covid vaccine they were offered.

British officials fear that the same concerns may be emerging here.

The Observer’s report is worth reading in full.

I would suggest that the risk from the vaccine outweighs the risk from CV19 for people under 50, especially young women.
Not everyone in the population is at the same risk from CV19, i.e. the young and fit, but everyone is at a small risk from these experimental vaccines.

The risk shouldn’t be seen as small. This is Russian roulette. Childbearing age women who are on the Pill are already at thrombotic events risk.

I would suggest changing that from childbearing age women to all females who are menstruating.

The danger is unisex. It is dangerous for females of any age, males, the elderly, for people with underlining conditions, whether known or not, for the young, you name a demographic – it is risky for them. People who don’t mind taking part in experiments, people who like to take flu vaccines and believe in them, may find it acceptable. The only obvious group that benefits from this particular rollout is the makers of the vaccine, because they get to experiment on millions.

I would further suggest that the risks of all of the Covid vaccines will always outweigh their benefits, if indeed any exist, for everyone of us, no matter our sex, age or existing health conditions. Only the woefully ignorant or the utterly stupid would agree to having these dubious gene based products injected into their bodies.

Those who haven’t listened to the James Delingpole and Mike Yeadon interview, need to do so. Yeadon has come a long way over the past year and whilst I don’t quite agree with all he says, he seems to be getting to grips with the enormity of what is going on.

I agree with you, but I’m curious: how many of your friends are “woefully ignorant” or “utterly stupid”? Many of my friends, who I regard as intelligent, can’t wait to get their jab.

This ‘risk’ is of course a significant underestimate of the total risk (even if all blood clots problems are fully detected and reported!) since many other side effects are already evident, not to mention the complete absence of any evidence about safety issues at longer than perhaps 3 months!

Paul Hunter has been like that from the beginning.One of the biggest opportunist in project fear.Pro LD,pro mask and then when data come in not according to models, a slight change in the tone.Same now.Sensational.The first Prof. in UK now clearly saying there is a connection and not a random event.But finishing with “that on balance it is safe enough for all”.He didn’t even have the guts this time(perhaps next time) to at least qualify his statement “that people with high risk of C-19 should still have it”.

He just gives green light for young healthy people to have the travelvaccine.Join the Russian Roulette.He is one more accomplice.

Make no mistake; this is the greatest global medical experiment in the history of the human race – and it’s purposely not being portrayed as such – the very fact that these new tools have been given emergency use authorization only… circumventing typical legal checks and balances is being severely downplayed by the NHS.

If they were totally upfront and honest with the general public about the inherent dangers of these treatments would they then agree to participate in such mass experiments? Manipulating the Brit masses to participate in novel medical treatments under false pretences is in fact a violation of the foundations of medical ethics and democratic law.

The Hippocratic Oath states; Primum non nocere = First do no harm. Therefore should you allow unethical people who engage in such conduct to inject you with anything at all?

Finally, I would urge you all to listen to this excellent podcast from Dr. Mike Yeadon talking with James Delingpole, from last week, please share as much as possible.

Bottom line – if you’re a healthy female under fifty DO NOT TAKE this Astra jab!!

I would say, if you are a premenopausal woman, particularly if you are on the pill do not have the AstraZeneca vaccine. If you are a pubescent female on the pill to control irregularities in your menstrual cycle then do not have the vaccine.

I’ve been hearing that a side effect of the vaccine has caused a few women’s menstrual cycles to cease, this is very worrying indeed. I really do believe this vaccinating of anyone under 60 should cease immediately.

The very fact that that this “treatment” is being coerced onto the population in order to allow them to work, socialise, and move “freely,” should scream “there is something VERY wrong with this!” to the masses…but most are oblivious. Manipulation has played the biggest part in this experiment – there are more behavioural scientists on SAGE than anything else!

What is striking in this Observer article is that the main concern is that people might not get the vaccine, rather than that there might be a serious danger to their health.

I saw somewhere that miscarriages following vaccination had increased massively.

Dr Micheal Yeadon in an excellent podcast on Delingpod pointed out that these vaccines can cause blood clots and should be withdrawn. No way should they be given to women of child bearing age given that they have no risk at all from Covid.

Meanwhile they keep trying to push vaccine passports. We are all dead if they get in. They are there to coerce vaccination, not to improve our health. I think that we can all be pretty sure that these vaccines arent there to improve our long term health.

The government doesn’t give a stuff about our welfare. This has been proven this past 12 months. The problem is now those that have taken the vaccine could be walking time bombs. I hope for all our sakes to be wrong.

Exactly. If they cared about our welfare they would have advised us to not be afraid, to get lots of exercise and Vitamin D (especially the overweight) and to do the things that make us happy (hugging people, seeing our friends and family etc), as these are all good for our immune systems. A cheerful heart is good medicine,

The AZ vaccine uses a different technique for getting the spike protein in cells than the mRNA vaccines, but once its there they do the same thing, which is completely and utterly unknown and anyone saying they do is lying. No-one knows how widespread the cells will be that generate spike proteins, they could well be inside the brain. No-one knows if they ever switch off, even if that is possible. No-one knows if the incidence of blood clots can increase with time.
What is for sure is that once the mRNA and adenovirus ‘vaccines’ create the spike protein in the cells thry will have the same effect. In other words the mRNA ‘vaccines’ must have the same blood clotting risks as the AZ ‘vaccine’.

You may find all cases, including fatal ones of each vaccine here (EMA’s site)
https://dap.ema.europa.eu/analytics/saw.dll?PortalPages&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FPHV%20DAP%2F_portal%2FDAP&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=%22Line%20Listing%20Objects%22.%22Substance%20High%20Level%20Code%22&P3=1+40995439
As you may find out, over 80% of the cases reported are people younger than 64.
75% women,
They keep focusing on blood clots, while there are numerous other side effects, cardiac, nervous, gastrinal disorders relates to deaths and severe disorders, some of them declared as permanent.
1 out of 3, are health proffessionals.
And we haven’t even witnessed the medium and long term effects of the wondrous vavvines, which was the main concern for these types of vaccines.

I’m surprised this isn’t being more widely shared. It’s not just AZ, but the others are also showing a large amount of adverse reactions in the 18-64 age group. Maybe I misread it, but ff these were only coincidental, then you would expect these events to increase with age.
Also the severe reactions are more than 50% of all reports for AZ.

I wouldn’t have any of these vaccines as an older person because any adverse effects would simply be written off as due to my age. I suspect some people will be genetically predisposed towards adverse reactions and since I’m adopted and don’t know 50% of my family medical history it’s not worth taking chances.

The vaccines are meant to kill. Some will die quickly, but for most it will take a few months, or perhaps a year or so. If anyone thinks the government and it’s advisors care about the public’s health then they clearly haven’t been paying enough attention.

Someone thought there could be a link with young women taking the contraceptive pill in addition to having the Covid vaccine and blood clots. I do think young people should not accept the vaccine under any circumstances. They are least at risk FGS!

STOP REFERRING TO THIS ISSUE AS “BLOOD CLOTS”!

The AZ vaccine is causing a very specific disease amongst particularly young women which is hardly ever seen in such people. These are not common or garden blood clots. Just stop repeating this! And stop just quoting the lugenpresse verbatim like this. Please, some sceptical journalism!

You aren’t injecting that stuff into me and I’m not having a vaccine passport.

Unless they are “at risk” then no one under 60 years old needs a vaccine, certainly not young, healthy women. I’m 64 and didn’t really want or need a vaccine but I had it to just shut people up. I had a very mild dose of SARS 2 13 months ago and reckon that is sufficient, thank you Nanny.

The risk of thromboembolic disorders should not be regarded as something specific to the AZ product. This is because the most plausible explanation lies in the expression of spike protein, a fusogenic protein which can initiate blood coagulation & immune complement activation. Since all the gene based vaccines do this, the presumption should be that it’s a “class effect”.
