Re: Coronavirus
Interesting point on today’s BBC 1pm News - part of the reasoning behind Germany being cautious about the AZ/O vaccine (waiting for the EMA review) was that the blood clotting issue was specifically about a rare form of blood clotting on the brain, which for the number of people who had the vaccine should have been 1, and was in fact 7.
I’ll look for a link.

Link between cerebral blood clots and AstraZeneca vaccine 'not implausible', says German regulator
Number of a certain type of blood clot was 'statistically significantly higher' than the expected figure, the regulator said.
As of March 15, seven people in Germany had suffered a severe cerebral venous thrombosis, known as thrombocytopenia, between four and 16 days of receiving the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab. Three of these people have since died.
According to a statistical analysis carried out by the regulator just one person would have been expected to suffer this event out of the 1.6 million people in Germany who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine.
"The number of these cases after vaccination with [the AstraZeneca vaccine] is statistically significantly higher than the number of cerebral venous thromboses that normally occur in the unvaccinated population,” the report states.
"All experts agreed unanimously that a pattern could be discerned here and that a connection between the reported above-mentioned diseases and the vaccination with Covid-19 vaccine AstraZeneca was not implausible,” it added.
Cerebral venous thrombosis is much rarer than the deep vein thromboses or pulmonary embolisms reported by Denmark, Norway and Austria last week. It can lead to swelling in the brain and haemorrhage. The seven people - six of whom were women - who suffered the condition were aged between 20 and 50.
