Canada has recommended a halt on using AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine on people under the age of 55 amid reports of blood-clotting side effects in Europe

about the rollout of its vaccine.

Health Canada, the country’s drug regulator, has ordered AstraZeneca to conduct a detailed risk-benefit analysis on the vaccine by age and gender. The information, officials said, would help determine whether specific demographic groups might be at higher risk.reports of blood clotting in people who received the vaccine

in Europe. Some European cases were reviewed in a recent preprint research paper that focused on nine patients in Germany and Austria. The findings from the preprint were first reported by researchers earlier this month. The preprint research looked at nine patients whose ages ranged from 22 to 49 and who had developed thrombosis, which occurs when a blood clot forms inside a blood vessel, beginning four to 16 days after getting the AstraZeneca vaccine. Eight of the patients were female. Four of the nine patients died.

So much for 'following the science' in Canada.

So only the old people should risk blood clots? Seems strange

It's a matter of proper inoculation. If intramuscular injection, it's fine. If it enters the bloodstream, I can have blood clotting effects. This according to EMA.

Where are the vacinne planks now lol

Nutjobs. It's not even their experience and Euro countries have largely rescinded their AZ pause, citing no evidence.

They don't want Covid to end.

Given that the age distribution of those getting a vaccine is increasingly skewing younger than 55 at this point, and the broadening availability of alternatives, this world seem to portent the death knell for AZ approval in the US.

People have become insane ! Blood clotting vaccine ! Let’s go !! And they are queuing to get it !

Good
