Denmark has halted the rollout of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine following reports of negative side effects relating to blood clots. The Telegraph has the story.
Denmark has temporarily suspended AstraZeneca Covid vaccine shots after reports of cases of blood clots forming, including one in Denmark, Danish authorities said on Thursday.
They did not say how many reports of blood clots there had been, but Austria has stopped using a batch of AstraZeneca shots while investigating a death from coagulation disorders and an illness from a pulmonary embolism.
They said six other European countries had halted the use of a vaccine batch from AstraZeneca.
“Both we and the Danish Medicines Agency have to respond to reports of possible serious side-effects, both from Denmark and other European countries,” the director of the Danish Health Authority, Soren Brostrom, said in a statement.
The vaccine would be suspended for 14 days, the health agency said. It did not give details of the Danish blood clot patient.
AstraZeneca has defended its shot, highlighting that there have been “no confirmed serious adverse events associated with the vaccine”, but is fully supportive of Denmark’s investigation.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: There have been no registered cases of blood clots related to AstraZeneca’s Covid vaccine in Spain, according to the country’s Health Secretary, which will continue to use the shots.
Stop Press 2: Norway and Iceland have also stopped giving the AstraZeneca jab and a number of other countries, including Italy, have temporarily stopped using two different batches of the AstraZeneca vaccine, after reports in Italy of a “serious adverse event” linked to one batch and the death in Austria related to another batch. The Telegraph has more.
Stop Press 3: Romanian authorities have temporarily stopped vaccinating people with one batch of AstraZeneca’s vaccine as an “extreme precaution” while deaths in Italy are investigated, but are continuing to use other doses from the company. Channel News Asia has more.

I expect this will, in the short term at least, be put down to a “bad batch” rather than something inherently wrong with the vaccine.
Those suffering death and severe illness from the virus itself were seen to experience blood clotting issues:

Interesting that some people receiving the vaccine seem to be experiencing similar symptoms.
The fact that they are stopping this batch at least shows they have their eye on it
You mean there is a “good batch” somewhere?

remind me – is AZ the frankenstein one – or is that Pfizer? I can’t keep up.
One thing we know is that after a year, the most effective vaccine for covid-19 for 99% of the population is covid-19. It – remarkably – is its own vaccine. Very mild side-effects – protected for life.
no recorded serious adverse reactions? I thought the UK government confirms 450 deaths from the ‘vaccine’ (roughly half and half between the AZ and Pfizer). That’s what they are owning up to
According to the UK Yellow Card Analysis for the AZ vaccine there have been about 60 cerebrovascular ‘accidents’ and brain haemorrhages that have led to 10 deaths, and 13 cases of pulmonary embolism that have sadly left 1 person dead – are these not also ‘clotting’ issues?
Please listen to the video from Prof Bhakdi contained in this report. This is not a ‘batch’ problem, nor is it specific to the AZ vaccine.

I’m looking for legal advice on a none-public department of the NHS forcing a new member of staff to be vaccinated. Reading through the contract, a small section springs out that dictates the new member of staff must be vaccinated against infectious disease.
I’ll omit certain parts of the section I’m about to post here to best protect the identity of the person who this involves, but following is the section of contract that is very concerning.
Can someone point me in the direction of good legal advice on this?
Sorry about the weird formatting above, the copy-paste into this site will not correct no matter how much I try to fix it!
I recommend you contact U.K. Medical Freedoms Alliance. They are a group of lawyers, physicians & scientists who have analysed this situation. They have a template letter.
Please be aware also that the Council of Europe of which we’re a member, has reminded signatories that it’s illegal to mandate or coerce vaccination or to treat differently those declining vaccination for any reason.
The directive is dated Jan 27 2021.
The Spectator article (cited in Round Up) on the reluctance of Poles to take any vaccine is fascinating – in its illumination of the limited British mind-set. It ends with this bit of post-imperial bullshit : “All of this may sound baffling to many Brits. This is perhaps down to a longer democratic tradition, or an unusually high level of trust between the NHS, the government and the public. But Poles have a very different history and far deeper misgivings about the vaccine. Far more needs to be done to convince them of its benefits.” Now. I first visited Poland in the mid-1970s. It had the features of a police state that were then foreign to this country – if far less severe than what we have under the rule of Covid. Given that, it was a tremendously welcoming country to be in. However, my education was somewhat lacking about the full horror of the depredations visited on the occupied country some thirty years previously. It changed my perceptions of the British story of WWII. This country had never come anywhere near the experience of the Poles and other Europeans as internees in a vast prison camp. A little humility… Read more »
Your points are well made. The Poles have learned to have a highly sensitive ‘nose’ for totalitarianism and their knowledge of forced vaccine experimentation is second to none.
Any attempt at indoctrination is likely to have the reverse effect of its intention.
I have a Polish friend who pointed out the steps to totalitarianism and the role of propaganda in this process very early on. He lives in Britain but is considering returning to Poland because he rates that country as slightly more likely to resist the evil descending upon us while we mostly look the other way.
I have been analysing MHRA data for weeks comparing the Oxford/AZ with Pfizer/BioNTech jab. These are my latest comments based on yesterday published data (up to 28 February):- Escalating numbers of reports for the Oxford vaccine: 1 in 179 doses up from 1 in 196 last week (Pfizer 1 in 322 both weeks). Consistently, for weeks, Pfizer has been around 2.9 symptoms per report and Oxford 3.6-7, but now Oxford has more than double the listed symptoms (201,622 vs 94,809 despite fewer doses (9.7m vs 10.7m). Again the Oxford record for fatal reactions is worse (275 vs 227) despite fewer doses. Oxford has 54,180 Yellow card reports vs. 33,207 despite fewer doses. Last week the Oxford reports went up by 11,490, this week by 11,363. The Oxford vaccine generates 2.34 times as many recorded symptoms as Pfizer per dose. Pfizer rate of reports to MHRA (number of doses to the nearest 100k) (7 Feb) 1 in 309,(14 Feb) 1 in 310, (21 Feb) 1 in 322, (28 Feb) 1 in 322 Oxford rate of reports to MHRA (number of doses to the nearest 100k) (7 Feb) 1 in 244, (14 Feb) 1 in 219, (21 Feb) 1 in 196, (28 Feb)… Read more »
Thank you for your diligence. A friend mused that if there were no side effects, a comparison of outcomes between those receiving Pfizer & AZ will show no differences.
Like your analysis he found a 40% higher frequency of serious adverse effects in those administered AZ over Pfizer & the difference was statistically highly significant.
Such an approach cannot demonstrate absolute risk but I think it’s solid evidence that there’s a safety signal to be drilled into.
Will officialdom do so? I doubt it.
could this explain this newspaper heading ??..

There is a reason to expect issues relating to thromboembolic disorders because spike protein is capable of causing clumping of cells, including platelets. I don’t believe it’s a common side effect. But I do think that it’s not obvious who is going to experience this side effect. Some younger people without obvious risk factors have suffered blood clots.
