Warning About Blood Clots Should be Added to Labels for Johnson & Johnson’s Covid Vaccine, Says E.U.’s Medicines Regulator

There is a “possible link” between the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Covid vaccine and blood clots, according to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The regulator says that a warning should be added to labels for the vaccine. Sky News has the story.

The EMA says it has found a possible link between the J&J Covid vaccine and very rare cases of unusual blood clots.

European regulators say that unusual blood clots with low blood platelets should now be listed as “very rare” side effects of the vaccine.

But they stressed that the “overall benefits of the vaccine in preventing Covid outweigh the risks of side effects”.

The new warning is based on eight “serious” cases in the U.S., one of which resulted in the person dying.

All eight people were under the age of 60 and developed clots within three weeks of vaccination, the EMA said, with the majority of cases being women.

They were “very similar to the cases that occurred with the Covid vaccine developed by AstraZeneca”, it added.

The Guardian has more on the next steps for the J&J vaccine.

The EMA has said a warning about very unusual blood clots should be added to labels for J&J’s Covid vaccine…

J&J advised European governments to store their doses until the E.U. drug regulator issued guidance on their use; widespread use of the shot in Europe has not yet started.

The delay is a further blow to vaccination efforts in the European Union, which have been plagued by supply shortages, logistical problems, and concerns over blood clots from those who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The Sky News report is worth reading in full.

Talk about amateur night.

I bet these therapies are little more than random genetic gunk that was sat on laboratory shelves somewhere.

and very rare cases of unusual blood clots.

Not rare enough. That’s the whole point. If they were still as rare as they were BEFORE the vaccines came along, there wouldn’t be a problem, would there?

 Indeed… realarthurdent

Had a catch-up call with my younger sister today, her mother-in-law died last week, had been a very fit/active 62 year old with no underlying health issues, wasn’t a smoker and had been a regular gym/spa user till lockdown.

She died last week of a massive brain haemorrhage, and yes she’d received her second jab recently, my sister’s hubby still very much in shock.

The family Dr. claimed no connection could be drawn at all, so the family are requesting a corona autopsy.

I wonder how many other cases of sudden onset brain busts there have been this past month?

Watch that Sucharit Bhakardi video. It’ll explain what might be happening. I found an alternative source to YouTube.

The YT one has sound issues you can resolve by putting on headphones. (Don’t know about the others).

And when I see a consultant paediatrician colleague sharing a meme comparing the numbers of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis after AZ vaccine with the numbers of “blood clots” seen in women on the pill you realise that even many medics are either stupid or wilfully peddling lies.

Just to add to the fear factor for those forced under coercion to get the jab to keep their job.

While we’re at it, can we add the warning that it does not prevent infection and that it does not prevent transmission?

We don’t actually know that. Indications are that it does actually reduce transmission.

Even if true, reducing isn’t the same as preventing.

Actually after a lot of digging I found that these types of virus which shouldn’t be able to shed, can and do through something called recombination.

Page 11 of the NHS leaflet that arrived by post to me more or less says that: “We do not yet know whether it will stop you from catching and passing on the virus”. So it does have printed warnings, if one reads the whole lot.

There needs to be a big warning label on Johnson’s lapel. And on Whitty’s and Valance’s.

As the J&J and AstraZeneca vaxxes are using the very same “Adenovirus” ingredient they both in fact are problematic for fit/healthy women under 60 in the main, though I would add in to at least 65 to be more certain.

Both should be labelled with SERIOUS SIDE AFFECT warnings.

It’s over for these 2 vaccines at least, it must be?

I’d put money on there being a lot more than a handful of these cases.

A Covid vaccination site shuttered its doors early after 13 patients [out of 1,700] suffered bad reactions to their shots. The mass vaccination event at Dick’s Sporting Goods Part in Commerce Field, Colorado, was halted on Wednesday, with two patients taken to hospital for further evaluation.

All those who attended the sports field were given Johnson & Johnson’s Covid vaccine.

J & J has a track record of harming people with their products, baby talcum powder being just one of these. Why suddenly has Boris switched to “take a pill for early COVID treatment”? Vaccine adverse events rising, the pilgrim study suggests only 1 to 10% of actual adverse events are reported. The USA now showing 2,300 deaths post COVID vaccines. Many doctors and studies showing the effectiveness of oral treatments for early onset COVID. What are we waiting for. It is heartbreaking to see so many people take an experimental biological with no long term safety and efficacy. There is now talk of vaccinating the control group in the vaccine makers trials. This would effectively mean there is NO way anyone will no anything about adverse events. One has to ask, what in the world is going on?

Now “covid deaths” no matter how hard they try to wangle them are down in low to figures, the vaccine deaths must start to outnumber them, thus making a mockery of the statement that the disease is more dangerous
