Covid: Trigger of rare blood clots with AstraZeneca jab found by scientists
Scientists believe they have found "the trigger" that leads to extremely rare blood clots after the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.
The team - in Cardiff and the US - have shown in exquisite detail how a protein in the blood is attracted to a key component of the vaccine.
They think this kicks off a chain reaction, involving the immune system, that can culminate in dangerous clots.
I think JE's subsequent reply covers most of what can currently be said.Could you dumb that down for me? I understand a third jab gives people my age group higher neutralization titers. But does that equal less symptoms in case of breakthrough infections? Less likelihood of LongCovid?
@Jonathan Edwards indeed does not sound good. Do you think further boosters will be necessary?
My current interpretation to the first question here is yes. To the second, its possible but we really don't have a solid answer. Not yet anyway.But does that equal less symptoms in case of breakthrough infections? Less likelihood of LongCovid?
Told them I'm in group 5. Got told can't get it if you have asthma. Told them I've got ME (look of confusion) calls doctor.
This is kind of funny with how common it is for deniers to say that those "labels", like ME and fibromyalgia, are not helpful.When the nurse called to book my home visit she asked what medical condition I had, I told her M.E, she paused and put me on hold for a minute, then she came back and said "I see, you have fibromyalgia". Whatever. So two nurses came and one gently said, "I understand fibro so I understand the pain". I told her I don't have pain, she looked confused.
what is the relation of m.e. severity level to reactions reported or observed?
The severity of ME has no relation to the level of adverse reactions being reported. It doesn't matter if you are bedridden, housebound, or have mild ME - some of us are being hit hard by reactions and others are having no reaction at all.what is the relation of m.e. severity level to reactions reported or observed?
I'm not sure what they mean by a plant based vaccine.
It's administered via a jet nebulizer that generates a fine, misty solution
The site says intramuscular.
