AstraZeneca admits in court its Covid jab can cause deadly blood clotting

AstraZeneca admits for first time its Covid vaccine CAN cause rare side effect in tense legal fight with victims of 'defective' jab

AstraZeneca has admitted in court for the first time that its Covid jab can cause a deadly blood clotting side effect.

The exceedingly rare reaction is at the heart of a multi million-pound class action by dozens of families who allege they, or their loved ones, were maimed or killed by the pharmaceutical titan's 'defective' vaccine.

Lawyers representing the claimants believe some of the cases could be worth up to £20m in compensation.

Cambridge-based AstraZeneca, which is contesting the claims, acknowledged in a legal document submitted to the High Court in February that its vaccine 'can, in very rare cases, cause TTS'.

TTS is short for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome – a medical condition where a person suffers blood clots along with a low platelet count. Platelets typically help the blood to clot.

NewsAstraZeneca vaccine: Blood clots are “extremely rare” and benefits outweigh risks, regulators conclude

Investigations by EU and UK regulators into reports of unusual blood clots after receiving the Oxford-AstraZeneca covid-19 vaccine have concluded that these are a “possible” and “extremely rare” side effect. Neither agency established a causal relation.

However, although both regulators concluded that no age restrictions were necessary for the vaccine, the UK’s vaccine advisory committee has decided that adults under 30 who are healthy and not at risk of developing severe covid-19 should be offered an alternative vaccine where possible.

Wei Shen Lim, chair of the UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, said, “We are not advising a stop to any vaccination for any individual in any age group. We are advising a preference for one vaccine over another vaccine for a particular age group, really out of the utmost caution rather than because we have any serious safety concerns.”

Among more than 20 million people who have been vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK so far, 79 cases of rare blood clots with low platelets have been reported, as well as 19 deaths, said the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare ...

And this is why Pfizer and Moderna insisted on Congress granting them immunity from lawsuits in the US.

[Sparko]

They pulled AstraZeneca's vaccine years ago because of this. I guess they are just now getting around to suing them.

All drug therapies including vaccines carry a risk.

A) But not all the same risk (And I noted the sweeping generalization you pretend to oppose)
2) That's one of the main reasons for having trials prior to going mainstream

However, the risk from this vaccine is exceptionally rare - .

That's actually right there in the article I cited.

Exactly. All drug therapies carry a risk and with this particular vaccine the sky is not falling in.

"All?" Can you list every one for me to prove your ridiculous claim?

Also, are you a physician? Medicine is a complex topic you know.

[Cow Poke]

Some much more grave than others.

and with this particular vaccine the sky is not falling in.

Nobody said it was, Trixie.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Nobody said it was, Trixie.

Why then a thread on this particular vaccine if the side effect is rare and no catastrophic event is connected with it?

[VonTastrophe]

Pharmaceutical corporation admits that in rare and specific conditions, a vaccine might kill you.

In other news, pretty much anything will kill you in the right conditions. Especially dihydrogen monoxide. Look it up, that's some nasty stuff.

Statistically, we are all better off having more people vaccinated, than less. I don't understand why there's such a panic amongst the anti-scientific. (Well, okay, I might be getting too sarcastic). No reputable scientist or medical expert no where would ever say that vaccines are 100% safe. Specifically, we know that immunocompromised individuals cannot get some vaccines. They depend on herd immunity to not get deathly ill. But why should Evangelicals care about them?

[Stoic]

And this is why Pfizer and Moderna insisted on Congress granting them immunity from lawsuits in the US.

Taxpayers will foot the bill of any potential settlement because of an indemnity deal AstraZeneca struck with the Government in the darkest days of Covid to get the jabs produced as quickly as possible while the country was paralysed by lockdowns.

You kinda sorta left out the "in court".

You kinda sorta left out the "in court".

Why would that matter?

EXCLUSIVE: CDC Found Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Caused Deaths

Internal documents contradict claims from the CDC, which refused to explain the discrepancy.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials found evidence that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines caused multiple deaths before claiming that there was no evidence linking the vaccines to any deaths, The Epoch Times has learned.

CDC employees worked to track down information on reported post-vaccination deaths and learned that myocarditis—or heart inflammation, a confirmed side effect of the vaccines—was listed on death certificates and in autopsies for some of the deaths, according to an internal file obtained by The Epoch Times.

Myocarditis was also described as being caused by vaccination in a subset of the deaths.

In other cases, the CDC workers found that deaths met the agency’s definition for myocarditis, that the patients started showing symptoms within 42 days of a vaccine dose, and that the deceased displayed no virus-related symptoms. Officials say that after 42 days, a possible link between the vaccine and symptoms becomes tenuous, and they list post-vaccination deaths as unrelated if they can find any possible alternative causes.

In cases with those three features, it’s “absolutely” safe to say that the vaccines caused the deaths, Dr. Clare Craig, a British pathologist and co-chair of the Health Advisory and Recovery Team Group, told The Epoch Times in an email.

Despite the findings, most of which were made by the end of 2021, the CDC claimed that it had seen no signs linking the Moderna and Pfizer messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to any deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

It still amuses me how valiantly a certain segment of society will defend the vaccines, and discount any evidence that they were rushed to market in spite of serious problems.

Ex-CNN Host Chris Cuomo Reveals COVID Vaccine Injury: ‘I’m Sick Myself’

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo said in a recent news segment that he is suffering from a health condition after he received a COVID-19 vaccine.

Mr. Cuomo made the revelation during his NewsNation program when he was interviewing a nurse practitioner, Sean Barcavage, who was featured in a recent New York Times article about vaccine injuries.

“We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, AKA side effects, but nobody’s really talking about it because they’re too afraid of blame, and they just want it to go away,” Mr. Cuomo said. “But the problem is people like Sean—and me—and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives and their feelings—you know, physically—are not going away,” he added.
