15 Brits Have Suffered from Blood Clotting Disorders after Their Second AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine

by Michael Curzon
24 May 2021 5:17 PM

15 cases of blood clotting have be found in Brits recently given their second dose of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine up until May 12th, according to the U.K.’s medicines regulator. The occurrence rate is around one in 600,000 (nine million have been given two doses of the AZ vaccine to date) – though this could increase as younger people are given their second doses of the vaccine, given that people below the age of 40 are more likely to suffer from clotting after the first dose. The MailOnline has the story.

Scientists told MailOnline it was “disappointing” the extremely rare complication was becoming more frequent in double-jabbed patients. The clots – which can occur in the brain – are happening alongside abnormally low platelet levels, known as thrombocytopenia. 

But the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said symptoms were “milder” and less frequent than after the first dose. 

As of May 12th, the MHRA had spotted 294 cases of the clots in Britons given an initial injection, affecting about one in 80,000. The conditions were found to be occurring more frequently in young people, which has led to the British jab being restricted for use in under-40s. 

Scientists believe in some people, the immune system sees the vaccine as a threat and over-produces antibodies to fight it. These lead to the formation of clumps in the bloodstream, which can become deadly if the clots move towards vital organs and cut off supply.

Around 15 million people are still waiting on their second AstraZeneca vaccine, with millions of eligible under-40s yet to be fully inoculated.

The current guidance says younger people who had their first dose before the jab was restricted should come forward for their second. 

Department of Health bosses do not provide data on vaccine take-up by age, making it impossible to say how many younger adults are booked in for their top-up.  

Professor Paul Hunter, an expert in medicine at the University of East Anglia, said it was “disappointing” there had been more clotting cases after the second dose.

But he highlighted that they were even less common than a first dose and less severe, urging people to continue to come for their second.

Worth reading in full.

“Scientists told MailOnline it was “disappointing” the extremely rare complication was becoming more frequent in double-jabbed patients.”
Just imagine how ‘disappointed’ those who have suffered a PE, stroke or heart attack are.

If it’s really only 15 people, I’d be very, very surprised.

Those are presumably the only ones that have been recorded, either by the medical profession, or less likely by the people themselves.

A friend of mine has been in hospital for two weeks after her vaccination, with blood clots affecting her lungs, kidneys and adrenal glands.
Her adrenal glands have been destroyed, and she’s now on lifelong medication for Addison’s disease that she didn’t have before her vaccination.
Addison’s disease is not a mild and insignificant condition.

One of her friends is now in a wheelchair after developing a clot on his brain.

There are too many people that we’re hearing of having serious side effects from these vaccines, far more than we heard of getting CV19 or dying from it.

The MHRA have stated that only around 10% of adverse reactions get reported so probably well over a 1,000.
A friend admitted to hospital 9 weeks ago following the AZ poison, on a ventilator for 5 of them and may be able to go home next week, after they’ve given him his 2nd jab!! He had a good dose of covid last year so didn’t need the first one. I have begged him to ask the doc to check his antibody and t cell status before having the 2nd, he just says the doctors know best. 😕

It is shocking that doctors do not report what is obviously a reaction to AZ.
I also do not believe 15 is a correct number, it is the merely an icicle on the top of the iceberg.
It is a disgrace and doctors and I guess the management which discourage reporting, need to be called out for it.

Clearly the doctors don’t know best in this case. If he had CV19 last year, he was already immune. Getting a first jab won’t make him more immune, and neither will the 2nd.
The 2nd jab could kill him, however.

I visited a friend of mine recently who has had both jabs – while she was in the kitchen making a pot of tea she suddenly called out for me to come and help her – I rushed into the kitchen and when I got there she was bent over, holding her belly and in a lot of pain – she said she thought she was going to pass out due to the sudden excrutiating pain that came on very suddenly in her lower abdomen and thats why she called out for me to help her – I managed to get her to the living room where she sat down – she looked very pale but after 20 minutes or so the pain passed and she felt a lot better and decided to go to the bedroom and have a sleep – it really took it out of her. This was a few weeks ago and she is fine now (touch wood) but this incident happened just a week after getting her second jab. She had no idea what the pain was and when I asked her if it could have something to do with the vaccine she just shrugged… Read more »

Sorry to hear the details, but I’m like you. At the time, I was 50/50 to decide what to do, but am glad I said ‘no’, for the time being.

I have never heard of those kinds of side effects with any other vaccination.
The worst I had was a very sore arm following a typhoid jab, when it felt like my arm had been punched. It went away after a day or so, and I had no other side effects.
What’s happening now to people is far beyond normal side effects.

It’s not just 15 people and the published figures will not even be the tip of the massive genocidal vaccine iceberg.

Clearly doctors have been told and also very likely threatened into not making Yellow Card reports for Covid “vaccine” injuries.

Following orders is of course no defence and so all complicit doctors now need to resign, in order to save themselves from getting into deeper trouble. These resignations may help bring the Covid scam to an earlier end and might also offer doctors some mitigation in the trials, that will have to happen, once the Covid event is over.

A friend of mine, in his sixties, had a heart attack and died, a few days after getting his first jab.

I don’t know a single person who has had Covid.

I hear anecdotally of 3 cases of blood clots of young men in their 30’s and 40’s living in the Midlands yesterday. Extrapolate that across the whole of the UK and you get a FAR higher number than 15. Do they think we are stupid???

My brother was in A&E recently. He shared a cubicle with three others who had suspected blood clots…after taking their jabs. My cousin was very ill for a week after her jabs with headaches and sickness, and we just found out that a friend had a minor stroke just after receiving his second jab. I’m hearing now of far more people suffering after their jabs, than I did of people actually suffering with covid.

Sorry to repeat myself, I posted this yesterday… I have a friend early to mid 50’s fit, active and healthy who had his first Jib-ab back in mid-March. In mid-April he noticed a problem with his face, ‘collapsing’, eye drooping on one side and some other symptoms which at first and understandably assumed to be a mini-stroke. He went to see a doctor. As you would. He was diagnosed soon after as having Bell’s Palsy. A very rare and scary affliction. It occurred to me that this might be a bit of a jib-jab coincidence…? So I asked whether he had wondered the same thing. His response? “It certainly crossed my mind as a possible side effect but the two events were 5 weeks apart. Still, a possible link, but not so likely I feel. Maybe I should look into it… 2nd jab next week, there’s always the other side!!!! hahaha“ He also wondered: “Should I report it under the yellow card thing? Maybe I should look into it” (I had pointed the yellow card ‘thing‘ out to him) Is this what propaganda and brainwashing have done to sensible people? This person is to all intents and purposes an extremely professional,… Read more »

According to the Yellow Card reporting for the AZ “vaccine”, there have been 5518 reports of blood disorders following vaccination. And 5795 reports for the Pfizer vaccine.

That’s 1 adverse report for every 3,350 people vaccinated.

Bearing in mind that the MHRA themselves say that the Yellow Card reports probably only represent 10% of the actual adverse effects, that’s 1 blood-related disorder for every 335 patients vaccinated.

Shocking. This has to stop.

Well the Product Information sheet for the AZ vaccine states that “Thrombocytopenia” is a “Common” side effect – ‘common’ meaning occurring between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 vaccinations.

This is much more serious than blood clotting disorders.

If you want a more direct taste of the drama brought to humanity by the experimental vaccines, just search for vaccine in GoFundMe. This is a very small sample of what you may find:

More than 15 have been mentioned anecdotally on this site I should think.

If 15 people died because of a product (thinking here of folding strollers/cots, where children have died) there would be a National outcry! The MSM can again hang their heads in shame at failing to investigate and highlight the Yellow Card system, and subsequent deaths and injuries.

Or indeed public services, such as railway accidents, or even other industrial incidents, aviation ones etc. ‘Getting away with murder’ comes to mind, although the ‘defendants’ will no doubt argue that was not their intention. In that case, it could be manslaughter, which is the usual ‘step down’ conviction, in many cases.
