Don't the clots need/use up thr platelets in the process of clotting?
But it seems that the spike protein on the virus/vaccine is quite similar to a protein on the blood plates so if the body has a runaway immune system response to the vaccine it could attack the blood plates too.
The implication here is that this could be true for all the vaccines, there are some similar reports in Israel which do not use the AZ vaccine.
These cases are extremely rare though which is probably the most important thing here. It should not disqualify the vaccines.
I was just wondering about Israel -- they vaccinated sooo many people, if this was an issue with the body's reaction to the S protein, it should pop up in Israel too.
On top of that, nearly 3 weeks into hospital and he caught covid. At least the vaccine worked and that's mostly sorted.
MRI says he has suffered catastrophic brain damage and is about to be released for palative care for the last
Now importantly
- I don't know which vaccine he had (and I'm certainly not going to bother my mother over that at the moment)
- He's suffered from seizures for the last few years, although those normally follow infections and high temperatures
But it's disquieting
"He's suffered from seizures for the last few years, although those normally follow infections and high temperatures"
A vaccine will certainly cause the body to fight the perceived infection, including with high temperatures for some people. It's possible given his history those vaccine side effects should have been considered?
Whether or not it was the AZ vaccine or not..
It sounds really nasty. Blood clots + low blood plate count at the same time.
