Incidentally, Britain has used more doses of the Oxford jab than any country elsewhere in the world – more than 11million doses – and detected nothing abnormal, its watchdog says.
Experts further point out that even the contraceptive pill, which is known to directly contribute to clots, is linked to blood clots in around one in 1,000 women per year and this is considered a ‘very small’ risk, according to the National Blood Clot Alliance in the US.
Regulators record hundreds of different illnesses, symptoms and conditions that are reported by people who have had Covid vaccines. These range from common symptoms after vaccination such as arm aches and fevers all the way to death or heart attack.
Some are obviously linked to the vaccine – such as the arm pain – while others have to be monitored to make sure they don’t become unusually common after a jab.
Panic was sparked about the blood clotting cases by an announcement that the European Medicines Agency was launching an investigation into 30 reports of people developing blood clots within days of having the vaccine, out of a total five million people, reports Daily Mail.
The ages of the people developing the clots isn’t known, but Norwegian officials said they saw three cases in people under the age of 50. And the decision by some countries to halt the vaccine came after a nurse in Austria, 49, died from a clot last Monday shortly after receiving the vaccine amid reports of similar cases across Europe, despite millions of doses being administered safely.
