I wanted to continue the updates from what we are seeing in hospital to keep you in the loop if you are interested. The big change over the last couple weeks being many people concerned with headaches or blood clots after vaccination. Pretty much everything in this video is subject to change as we learn more... However this is my best breakdown of what we know to date! Hope you are all well.
My dad took first dose 26 days ago. He is having headache from 3 days? Today he has fever & cold Please guide Sir, I am worried. Tommarow we r going to do COVID test.
Just to add my experience. When I was offered my vaccination, I asked if I had a choice of vaccines, and was told it was normally whatever the vaccination centre had in stock. My preference was for the AZ vaccine, and that's what I had. My choice was mainly as I was more dubious about the mRNA vaccines as they're more novel. Good news I guess wrt adverse reactions to mRNA to date is it presumably demonstrates potential for those to be used with other diseases. And being on warfarin, presumably a lower risk for clotting with the AZ vaccine. But my own good news is my immunity mask arrived last week, so now I can wear it for my upcoming endocrinology appointment. I'm curious to see if anyone at the hospital recognises it :)
I'll be curious to see if the clotting increased in those that were already taking medication that increased clotting possibly, such as hormone birth control.
I was so ill in the early hours of the morning after I had the jab, I thought I was having a heart attack, I have leukaemia, and no way did they have time to test wether people with cancers or other chronic illnesses would be able to take this.
"No way" you say this as if you are certain, and since I've read the research showing they DID test the vaccines on people in different stages of different cancers I know you are wrong. Maybe ask a professional before you spread bullshit information around.
@@wisersamson9000 i am not trying to spread anything, I am telling the truth, that is what I experienced after the jab, if you can lead me to the piece that you read about having time to test the vaccine on cancers, I would welcome this and be only too pleased to read and digest it. Never be nasty without suggesting some help to disprove.
There was no time to do long term tests for all sorts of things. The reason these "treatments" never got approved previously is because in the animal tests, all the animals died. The spike proteins stick to different organs in the body and then the body attacks it's own organs, as invaders. So this causes the damage often seen as blood clots. The other issue is auto-immune disease. The drugs damage your immune system so that your body cannot fight off normal infections. We will see many people die this winter when they meet a normal cold or flu virus. If you had the first injection, please don't get any more of them. And I wish you the very best for your recovery from leukaemia.
Queeks Headtaker *I beg your pardon!? That's not a very nice way to speak to Jacqui, is it, Queeky!Whats your qualifications, if any, & where do you work!? And I do believe Jacqui is correct in what she stated, so I suggest you apologise to Jacqui, ok!? I've never seen anything that states these EXPERIMENTAL jabs were trialled on leukaemia or cancer patients etc neither! Think you might be wrong there! Also, why did you purposely forget to state the adverse effects on Vaers & Yellow card scheme website!? Or inform Jacqui that she could register her adverse effects there!?😉*
We are only told the information necessary to manage us ,This applies equally to the virus and the vaccine .The only way to really know is to go out and get it .!
@@KeithCindyPanama laws have been passed that make vaccine companies immune to lawsuits. These laws are decades old. Vaccination isn’t as safe as the medical community makes it out to be.
But the government says that the v shot is 100% safe, which is obviously why the law came in. The government are always right and have never lied about anything so I really don’t know what the fuss is all about.
@@DrHopeSickNotes Would you know what is the timeline of being at risk for the blood clots, in a nutshell, would we be out of the woods lets say after 4 weeks? Or would we be at risk of a blood clot indefinitely?
Systemic thrombosis seems VERY dangerous to me! I mean, honestly isn't this why it normally takes 5-10 years to assess these drugs, rather than finding this stuff out as we go along? isn't that technically a TRIAL? And ethically, is everyone who gets this medicine aware that it's a trial?
@@whiteprisms3123 Watched BBC news this morn but no mention of a very important matter - news about BBC Presenter Lisa Shaw dying aged only 44? But not from cov, from the 'magic medicine' due to exactly what this doctor is discussing here. I'd say that's certainly newsworthy, yet somehow they didn't mention it.
Considering 99.5% of people infected make a full recovery. The risk percentage starts to look rather different. Our concern should be vulnerable and elderly. In regards to the mRNA, no one knows the long term effects, and the pharmaceutical companies are not renowned for their honesty.
.05 of 322M in the US is 16.1M people that would not make a full recovery. Think again when you see a small percentage like that, the number might not turn out to be small.
many long term side effects are not known. Just not enough testing done yet. You can refer to the AZ vaccine docket published by the EMA. They highlight the product info there. Everything from it being authorised for emergency use only to not enough testing on various different groups of people and even animals.
I was diagnosed with this in the new year, 2 months before I had the Oxford vaccine!! Went to Opticans for eye test as I had a constant headache, Optician spotted optic nerve disc swelling, Opening pressure on opening Lumbar Puncture was 28!!
52 years old, DX Parkinson’s 9yrs ago, bilateral DBS fitted 6yrs ago. Had the shielding advice letter so have been largely sedentary for a year... clot has left me no complications at all headache, visual and audible disturbance resolved on LP, and prescribed warfarin ongoing.. Really lucky to have got a DX/treatment on this as Parkinson’s headache/ neck aches baseline normal had me dismissing the seriousness of the symptoms.........
That's why everyone needs to see an optician regularly. The eyes are the gateway to the brain and the opticians can pick up pregnancy, diseases and tumours.
I know a 33yo woman that died after two days from a stroke, perftectly healthy before the vaccine, she wanted to go in a vacation, and I have a relative that stayed two weeks in intensive care after receiving the az. So it’s clear that the death rate from the vaccine is pretty high. Moreover it doesn’t kill the old and sick but the young and healthy
127,976 dead from covid vs 1,000 dead from the vaccine. you may say the covid number is inflated unless it's 100,000% inflated the cure beats the problem. also if you dispute the covid numbers then by all accounts why are you not disputing the vaccine death number? at the end of the day less people going to hospital less people using ICU machine. you people are trying to faremonger people away from the vaccine but no matter how you look at it the cure beats the problem.
@@toonskiplays3610 The issue is that there may be harmful long-term consequences to the vaccine that we don't know about because no long term clinical studies have been conducted and because of the new gene therapy technology that the mRNA vaccine is
I actually feel the mRNA vaccines will have side effects in the long term. So being Australian I will just sit back and watch the show. Those with blood clots with the Astrazeneca is a lot higher here at around one in a thousand.
Why do you 'feel'? that is not a fact. I had my AZ vax today and am a Research Fellow Molecular Biologist here in Australia. Deaths are 0.2 per 100,000 vs 3000,000 per 100,000 deaths from covid in Australia. What's more the clots are easily diagnosed and easily treated.
I suffer from severe headaches. They probably aren't migranes according to my neurologist, but they feel like a sharp cramp in my brain and can last for up to three days (medication only relieves it a little bit). I also suffer from anxieties and even though I'm getting Pfizer, I'm still terrified and recently I've been getting nightmares related to vaccination. The headache terrifies me far more than fever :(
@@SpaghettiToaster I don't think you got the point. I didn't say I got a headache because of the vaccine (in fact I hadn't taken one when I was posting)! I was simply sharing my anxieties, because the headaches I get are unbearable (before I started comparing them to "brain cramps" people didn't really get how severe the pain was - seriously, when I broke my tailbone the pain was nothing compared to when I get a headache) so I'm scared of the vaccine inducing one.
@@Stormchantress No, I get it, but I'd say you shouldn't be worried about that. Because first of all, this complication is extremely rare, and also, if it does occur, it doesn't cause chronic headaches anyway, because it needs to be treated immediately so you don't die. Also, there are many kinds of headaches and whatever caused the ones you experienced likely has nothing to do with what causes the ones if you get this side effect. And neither should the one put you at greater risk of the other. The only thing that's likely to happen is that you might get headaches for a day or two from your normal immune reaction to the vaccine, similar to when you have the flu, but those aren't nearly as bad as what you describe.
@@SpaghettiToaster I'm not sure what "normal headaches" are, frankly. I've actually got my first dose of Pfizer last Friday evening (no side effects other than a sore arm until Monday afternoon) and now, four days later, I've had one of my severe headaches for about 3 hours and I haven't got a clue whether it's related or a coincidence.
Thank you Dr. Hope for taking time out to enjoy your day whilst explaining and putting our minds at rest too. May the Lord continue to bless you and your work!
I’m in Alberta, Canada and we are in the midst of wave 3….our biggest yet! Our vaccines are behind the UK due to supply issues, but we are finally getting first doses in arms so I am hopeful our hospital cases will drop after watching this! At the moment our ICU cases are rising …..sigh….I’m high risk (breast cancer) and got my vaccine as soon as I was able!
Fellow Albertan here. The cases are insane and only going to get worse sadly. The 11% positivity rate is alarming to say the least... Although I am under 30, I believe I qualify for a vaccine due to celiac disease and ADHD, so the minute I have the option I am going! I hope you stay safe and well :)
I have congential thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) so I recognized the symptoms right away, & had been wondering how it compares to acquired/immune TTP. So I was very interested to learn that, in spite of the plethora of similarities -even demographically,- whilst TTP is caused by overly long Von Willebrand factors due to a lack of ADAMTS13, CVST is caused by mis-activated Platelet Factor 4. Thanks for your efforts to keep us informed!
So sorry. We're starting now to get out of the same thing here in Brazil (thanks Bolsonaro). It's still bad but at least it's kinda starting to look like the worst has passed. It really is horrible. And not only otherwise avoidable covid deaths blew through the roof, but also otherwise avoidable deaths related to other things, because there was simply no ICUs, no rooms, no doctors, no hospitals whatsoever available for anything.
If you are young I would not get the vaccine, you are not at risk from the virus, also we need to know how many under 30s have had the vaccine and what percentage of these have had some serious side-effects
I didn't really have an achy arm after my AZ vaccine but I had a funny sensation like pin pricks all over the vaccinated arm later that day. I've also had headaches here and there over the past 8 weeks. Also my ears are ringing like what I expect tinnitus would be like. My mood has been down on occasions and I've cried alot. Just don't know what I can attribute to the vaccine or not, all very odd.
I’ve been the same, severe and constant headaches, numbness and light pins needles in injection left arm, which occasionally goes into all my limbs and abdomen (injection date 19th March 2021 with AstraZeneca) Been hospital three times and sent home saying they can’t find anything wrong, then finally got admitted to hospital and had ct scan on brain, no signs of stroke or tumours. Also since had MRI scan on brain, neck and spine, seeing a neurology consultant next week and hopefully going to get some honest answers and treatment. It is all very scary, I was perfectly well before this injection on absolutely no medication at all. I have filled 4 yellow card reports in and even spoke to AstraZeneca on 4 occasions, but still no answers.
You could be having a spiritual awakening. Never took the shot but I've had ringing in my ears for 4 weeks and was having emotional downs but also ups but also sensations on my body that I couldn't explain why they are occuring. Looked online what could be the cause, alot of it pointed to spiritual energy problems in my body. Just my two observations.
As I was having moderate to bad headaches after the second AstraZeneca jab four weeks ago, I was beginning to wonder about blood clots. But last week I had my annual routine Type 2 diabetes review (borderline, no tablets) along with the associated blood test. The test results came back the next day and my platelet count is within range. Most other blood results were also in range, with two or three just on the threshold. HbA1c was 43. Now I wonder whether labs which do routine blood tests have been told to watch out for low platelet counts if the patient has recently received the AZ vaccine. The lab won't know the vaccine status of individuals, but the GP practice which receives the results back from the labs will know. If the practice then asks the patient if (s)he has been experiencing headaches, this could be an early warning. In my case my GP pronounced the results satisfactory and told me to book in for another blood test in three months. I am 75, male.
Glad you’re okay. Did you get side effects after your first jab? I’m due my second and really scared, moreso than the first time, and I was bad enough then. I had a pain on top of my head 8 days after the first AZ jab. I didn’t need painkillers and it went away about 1.5 weeks or so later. I already have pinprick dots mainly on my - had them for years, but I thought to just get a few things checked and a blood test before my second jab. Doctor didn’t know what the dots are - weird, as she’s a darn doctor 🤦🏼♀️ Didn’t ‘think’ the pain I had was linked to a clot and AZ. My blood test is back and it’s flagged up that my wbc is low, not dangerously, but still lower than it was in March when I had my first dose. My platelets has gone down too, but still normal range. My anxiety is through the roof and I can’t go through with the second jab unless I can be reassured 😖
@@nickijames5122 No, I had practically _no_ reaction after the first jab, not even a sore arm. On the evening of the day of the first jab I suddenly got very tired and slept for an hour (at 6:30pm), but I woke up feeling fine, but a little zonked. And then came the second jab! Again, initially, no reaction until about 2 weeks later, as I described in my earlier email. Yesterday I started to feel truly back to normal with only a tiny headache, and today the headache has gone. Now yesterday I Skyped with my nephew in Germany for almost 2 hours and he has had his first jab (age: 42). He, too, had nothing to begin with, but then at around 10:00pm he had gone to bed and woke up a short while later absolutely freezing, you know, when the body cannot stop shivering. He put on more blankets and got his heating pad that switches off after 2 hours. Some while later he started getting a ferocious headache, about a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. He said maybe it was even an 8. The worst headache he's ever had. This went on all night (it was Saturday by then) and all of Sunday at somewhat lesser intensity. Then by the Monday morning the headache had finally subsided. Now elsewhere in a different thread I left a long and detailed comment about my trip to the hospital to get the headache checked out. I'll see if I can find it and link it back to here. May take me a while though to sus out the inner workings of YT. But all in all, I have now read too many times how headache is a major side effect of AZ, so it maybe normal for most recipients to experience it. By the way, I could only take paracetamol (Tylenol). I can't take ibuprofen because it interacts badly with my heart meds.
One should always remember that there are young people living with chronic health issues and disabilities, and for them the risk of COVID being devastating is much higher than the average young person.
I got COVID-19 back in February, luckily I had moderate symptoms. The worst part was the headache that persisted for several weeks afterwards. I got my 1st dose of Pfizer vaccine recently and I think it actually helped to relieve my headaches. It's either that or one hell of a placebo effect lol.
I haven't been vaccinated myself but I did have the virus in February too but my symptoms were very mild, my symptoms were just a cold with a tiny bit of pneumonia but it wasn't scary, yes I did have anxiety about what could happen to me next but my symptoms stayed the same, they didn't get any worse & it all cleared up in a week, since the pandemic started I been taking vitamins such as C & D & I have zinc & maybe that what played it's roll why I never had Covid so bad, 2 weeks ago I woke up one morning pasted with a cold but I was Covid negative & it was just a normal cold & it lasted only 2 days & it was gone so maybe the vitamins was to do with that or my Covid antibodies fought my common cold.
Update after 2nd shot if anyone is interested. :) I had a slight fever on the day of the second shot and the usual sore arm (not as bad as the 1st shot though) but other than that everything seems to be fine, luckily no headaches either.
The back and forth on the AstraZeneca vaccine (for everyone, then just for 60+, now suddenly 18+) and unclear messaging on what risk this is has really not helped. I'm 25, female, and have signed up for my first AZ vaccine on Saturday, but despite knowing about the rarity of this side effect and planning on monitoring myself for weeks to come I'm super anxious... psychosomatic effects are not fun! At the same time I don't know when they'd make the mRNA vaccines available for 18/20+ (it's at 40+ atm) so waiting even longer feels wrong too. (I just want this whole mess to be over)
I’m an anxiety sufferer and you’re right, it’s no fun imaging the worst and thinking we’ve got symptoms of something serious when we may not. It’s an illness itself. I’m going crazy worrying about getting my second dose of AZ.
I am amazed at the complacent attitude presented here. A potential life threatening condition following a totally unnecessary jab and the MHRA is still not investigating, neither are MSM reporting on adverse reactions.
Best, fullest, clearest, most straightforward explanation I've heard so far of the situation vs. AZ vaccine and the situation in the UK in general. Many, many thanks. Rock on, Dr. Hope!
Thank you for making this video. I had a stroke when I was young (now in my 30’s)followed by DVT (they suspect caused by surgical stockings removed by nurse too soon) They could never find cause for stroke. I was offered the Pfizer vaccine and unfortunately had bad allergic reaction to the first dose. I was advised not to have the second dose but to wait to see when there is more data about mixing vaccines. I’m now not sure if I’ll be able to be fully vaccinated at all going forward. Hopefully I’m not extremely high risk as I’m not overweight or older and healthy otherwise but so difficult to know what is the best thing to do.
The main symptoms to look out for are severe headaches 3-16 days after receiving the Astra-Zeneca vaccine and/ or petechiae. Petechiae are small blood red dots on your skin caused by capillary bleeding. Or if you're not stopping to feel sick past three days after vaccination with Astra-Zeneca. It is actually treated the same way "heparin induced thrombocytopenia" is treated. Except we can actually treat it with heparin after an autoimmune reaction to heparin is excluded. All the best to everyone!
Doctor, 1. what is the latest on whether the S1 produced by the vaccines are able to cross the blood brain barrier in humans (we know they do in mice)? 2. What is the disintegration time of mRNA in cytoplasm (pfizer) vs disintegration time of DNA in nucleus (AZ)? Is it bad to have that DNA hanging around in the nucleus for an extended period of time?
Thank you Dr Hope for explaining Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia. With my one semester's worth of knowledge in pathology, I was so confused when I heard that blood clots can happen when the platelet level is low. I was confused to the point that I thought the Chief Medical Officer (here in Australia) must have misspoken. Now it's clear as day to me. So thank you Dr Hope!
My mom had the 1st jab (she's 65) then had a stroke, the doctors say its not related, at the time they didnt know it was a risk?.. Now they want her to get 2nd jab! I'm not an anti-vaxer (I've had first jap and will get the 2nd). But how can we be sure that her stroke wasn't connected, when we dont really know much about this Vaccine? Is it too late for the blood tests? If you got a clot once are you more likley to get again? Who do we go to with these questions?
Thank you for explaining it so clearly! I'm only a week in from getting my AZ vaccine so I have 3 more weeks or so of "my leg feels funny, I must be dying", "my head hurts, I must be dying", and "my finger went numb, I must be dying". Completely ignoring that these happened before and are caused by awkwardly sitting while scrolling on my phone for too long. Thanks for the update.
After my first dose of AZ i was fine at first about 8 hours later had a very heavy head and shivering felt really bad like i had flu or something slept the next day all day had a sore arm for weeks , been 13 weeks now and no sign of contacting me for 2nd dose ,
As someone with a high risk of getting an aneurysm, you bet I'll be going to hospital if I end up with any headaches after the vaccine. We have the pftizer one here in Australia. It's yet to be rolled out to everyone.
I look forward to knowing your view about this rare side effect of AZ vaccine. Crystal clear: I 'll get my second shot with greater confidence. Actually, being a teacher , better AZ than nothing. Hope more countries could reach UK levels of vaccination but of course personal responsibility is a key factor. Stay safe. 🇮🇹🍀🇬🇧
Had my first jab (AstraZeneca) in March and, apart from a slightly sore shoulder for a couple of days after, I've suffered no adverse reactions or side-effects. Now waiting on the booster jab to come, probably mid June, early July if all things go to plan.
I’ve had these pinprick dots under my skin, mainly arms, for years, no problems, but having the second dose AZ really worries me. I did get a pain on my head a week after the first jab but it went away 1.5 weeks later, but it worried me enough to get a blood test done before my second dose. My wbc and platelets results have dropped from March blood test, although platelets still in normal range and wbc low but not dangerously. Just worried the AZ has had the opposite effect on my immune system. Defeats the object of having it then 😖
We all know that we have to die one day, no matter how much we try to protect ourselves from harm's way. I personally have experienced the death of my partner of 39 years after he had received his first dose of PZFIER COVID-19 vaccine. On day 7 after the vaccination, my partner complained to me that he had a massive head and he immediately lost all consciousness. He was rushed to the hospital, the neurologist explained to me that my partner had developed a 2.3 cm blood clot in his brain; therefore, the neurologist asked me to sign a consent form for an open-brain surgery to be performed immediately. The surgery was unsuccessful because my partner also developed low platelets, so he bled to death during the surgery exactly like what was being described in this video.
Tis why I'm not getting my second dose of AZ. I've had one and have some protection. Also had a bad react from my first one 31 March. still get discomfort at injection site.
Had my second dose of the AZ vaccine 4 weeks this week and since I’ve had it I’ve not been well. Major aura migraine 3 days after now left with Constant stabbing headaches, numb and tingling face that will not go. Been taking naproxen and carbamazepine twice daily for 3 weeks which do not help much. Starting to get anxious. Had a CT scan and bloods done but doctors said I was ok.
My husband has Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura already. Does this mean he will be at increased risk of this happening? He had his second AZ vaccine a few days ago - no side effects so far. Is there anything we should watch out for in terms of symptoms?
I had the first jab, reluctantly, nearly 3 months ago, and wasn’t too bad until day 8 and I had a jabbing pain on top left side of my scalp. No painkillers as it wasn’t bad enough, and no other obvious symptoms, but it concerned me as I suffer severe anxiety anyway. It went away nearly 2 weeks later. I’m due for my second dose now and shitting it. My Dr doesn’t ‘think’ the pain I had was anything related to the AZ and clots and I would’ve had to go to hospital had it been related, she said. I wouldn’t know if it could’ve been a warning 🤔 I got a blood test done to reassure me and I’m more worried than ever. My platelets are in normal range but have still dropped abit since March, when I had the first dose, and, my wbc is low although not dangerously low, but the lab still flagged it up. It could be nothing, but I’m now so stressed whether to get my second dose, or wait and have my bloods redone in a months time. I worry the vaccine could be having the opposite effect on my immune system and I’ve never had problems my whole life. I sure as hell don’t want any from this vaccine 😖
I have been having this weird headache that i cant quite comapre to anything i had before, but it started a day after the vaccine and nothing works to stop it. I hope it will still go away. After a good month it went away and all is good now. Got the second shot and had a very intense migraine for about 24 hours. So yeah im good now.
hi anne my mom also had persistent headaches for over a month after e 2 doses of the pfizer jabs she took. she described it as a heavy feeling above her eyes. we prayed for her and thank God she is ok now.
I had a jabbing pain left top side of head 8 days after first AZ jab. It went away after 1.5 weeks or so and nothing major, but worried me since, doctors don’t really care, they just keep comparing the effects of getting covid! My bloods have gone down slightly too, and I already have pinprick dots on my skin, but scared the jab could cause a clot with second dose 🤦🏼♀️
@@MsRiverdee she is still in hospital, she is managing to walk to the loo on her own now but doesnt look like she will be able to live independently anymore. Thanks so much for asking x
I happen to know a person who is a top virologist and is also a close associate of a person who was closely involved in developing the AZ vaccine in a very senior role. This person warned that there was still work to do with the vaccine in regard to the subject of blood-clotting and overcoming it. That person was over-ruled, the CEO said they would lose money otherwise and it was to be rolled out at once. The person left the vaccine programme.
Hi Doctor, my grandma who is 86 is in bed can't move, swollen arm and leg in the same side, with severely clotted blood, Right After the AstraZeneca Vaccine, her lower back and legs hurt now can not move, not even sleep in the sides. In the beginning she couldn't sleep and started to have hallucinations. She is now on blood thinners and many medications. Is it from the vaccine? Well yes since it started litteraly 2 hours after getting it.
A clot in your brain can cause headaches, confusion, seizures, speech problems, and weakness, sometimes on just one side of the body. if its just a headache then it's safe to say it's not a bloodclot
Hi Dr, i hav taken my astrazeneca jab on 14th May, am 31 yrs old and since then have constant headaches every day till today, went to the ER blood tests are negative, went to optician no issues with eyes but still this goes on, please help …. Shld i go fr the head scan ?
I had the Pfizer and had a headache and joint aches for a couple of days. Getting 2nd jab on 5th May. Please don't panic if you do. I just rested and was fine after.
Bubblegum Witch, I just got my second Moderna dose. Fever of 102 for half a day, and a slight headache. Drank lots of water starting as soon as I got the shot, and took one Tylenol for the slight headache. Never felt too bad. I’m back to normal now, 3 days later.
I’m on Citalopram and they are known to affect platelets as are a few other antidepressants, I’m wondering if the patients who have had clots are/where on antidepressants…could this be a viable link!…
We get AstraZeneca in India (produced by SII, marketed as Covishield) and there was a lot of worry going 'round - but they got washed out by all the worry about the second wave. I can't wait to get vaccinated soon - all my family members got at least one shot, so I'm the weak spot lmaoo. Love your videos as always, Dr Hope!
The risks from the vaccine are a lot less than the risks from virus. Therefore people who are more afraid of the vaccine than the virus are not all there mentally.
@@terjeoseberg990 Yes, although sometimes it's because they're in a place that's been locked down or otherwise had good control of the virus and kept the number of cases very low, so they think 'I have a very low chance of catching covid where I live so why can't I wait a little longer for a different vaccine'. That's not as crazy, as long as they remember that the low number of cases won't stay forever since they can't stay locked down forever... but depending where they live and how long a wait to get a different vaccine it might be completely crazy or not so crazy.
@@tawnyasue easy for you to say...you don't know the situation here in India, people literally don't know if they are going to survive the next 2 months.
I think he means the amber zone in the hospital. If I remember correctly, it's where they suppose that everyone has covid just in case, before sending them to the green zone or the red (apparently not anymore!) zone.
As Pelikan has described above. I'm referring to the allocation of beds / rooms within our emergency department. Previously if people were Covid-19 positive they go straight to a red area of the department. However due to so few cases, we don't need a whole areas set aside, we just use individual isolation rooms for anyone with Covid.
I wish I could have been vaccinated sooner, I did get Moderna. Tell me if I'm wrong but don't people die from complications of over the counter meds and many other prescriptions? I had an angiodema (sp?) from Lisinopril. Doesn't birth control sometimes cause a blood clot? Aspirin an Ulcer that can sometimes cause a death? Millions have died from getting the disease.
The country I'm in juat has a new wave coming up. Vaccine rollout is bureaucratically slow. Yes, it's slower than very slow, and for no reasonable reason. I intentionally be redundant to show my intention to make sure how ridiculous the situation I'm in is. Congratulations to you Brits. Your government may not be that shiny, but they still work.
So, im a person who has little to no in person contact with other people, outside of 3 neighbors who i occasionally talk to. While i see the vaccine as a benefit, im also very skeptical on how well its gonna work out long term cause its been around for such a short time. Seeing as im so low risk at getting Covid anyways, ive chosen to just avoid both until things are much better and long term affects have been seen. I know some people are probably gonna think im dumb for this, but ive lived this way without getting sick for 2 and half years now, and im probably gonna keep living this way for twice that.
This is a good content, thank you. I got my both jabs already. At first shot I didn't notice that the 2nd fever and headache, appearing at 3weeks after the shot, were due to the low ptatelet count. I only thought it was the continuation of the first fever as vaccine common side effect. But the difference was that my body only got better by guava juice, which is known to increase your thrombosis. At the 2nd shot though, I didn't have severe immediate side effects, BUT, again, on the third week, I suddenly had high fever and super headache, a bit similar headache like that on third week after first jab. I had blood test, thought it was malaria because I had fieldwork in the endemic area before, but it turned out my ptatelet count was just under the lowest normal range (148). The doctor didn't suspect it was due to the vaccine, and gave me antibiotics and zinc. Fever was gone completely after about 2 days taking the treatment. I know heparin induced one can be treated by antibiotics, but vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia... might be needed antibiotics as well? (Read: I'm still not sure my low ptatelet counts were due to the jabs).
I have thrombophilia with two previous pulmonary embolism, both occurring whilst being treated with preventative blood thinners. I'm now on life long blood thinning injections. I don't want to get Covid but I also don't want to have another clot. Do you think I would be at higher risk of having CVST with the vaccine?
I'm so glad you are covering this, love your videos, and your my fave TH-cam doctor, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. I'm scared now of BOTH, the disease AND the vax 😬. Especially being a woman in my late 30's! In your opinion, should the AZ and J&J be stopped?? In the past, these deaths would have forced these vaccines to be pulled off the market.
No. They wouldnt have been pulled off the market. This is wayyy too rare. About 2 in 100000 have a severe reaction of any kind. Your chance of getting Covid badly is thousands of times higher.
Thanks for the summary, to put things in perspective it’s worth keeping in mind that thrombosis is an issue with the virus too much higher incidence than with any vaccine as far as I’m aware, and hound females taking oral contraceptives are also at risk from thrombus, not this rare type but thrombosis is never good.
How do you know if you had a blood clot before the whole blood clot thing was known.. I rang 111 (aged 24 and had az vac) to ask about stroke like symptoms and the ambulance they sent out said I was tired and running a fever from the vaccine. I had my vaccine at the beginning of March so before this was even publicised.. Looking back it could have been a clot that a managed to shift itself.. Thoughts?
Hi Dr. Hope, thanks for this video. I had ITP in 2017 and I don't know if there's any precaution that I should take once I get the vaccine, any advise would be great. Thanks! I already talked to my GP and he said I'd probably be given the Biontech vaccine coz Astra is not given to people below 60 here in Germany but I've seen news of Thrombocytopenia cases in USA as well after getting the Pfizer shot.
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly as always! I'm lucky, I had my second vaccination yesterday and the only side effect so far has been a sore arm. Stay safe ❤
Got my 1st dose 2 days ago. Having previously contracted COVID in November, I had side effects very similar to early COVID symptoms but they went away after one day.
Dear Ed. Sincerely thank you! I've been watching videos about this ahead of getting the vaccine and your explanation of how these nasty clots form is by far the best one!! I am still a bit afraid of getting any jab, being female and 33 with a low platelet count.
Why are heath care professionals not aspirating when they do these vaccines? Dr John Campbell who does Daily Covid utube videos says he taught health professionals to ALWAYS aspirate. He reckons this should be looked at as a possible cause of these rare blood clots and suggests we all write to our MPs to get this looked at.
Exactly!!! In the past, this vax would have been pulled after even TWO deaths! It's disgusting to me that they keep letting it happen and say "it's totally safe".
@@minners19 this is utter bullshit. Every kind of medication can have severe side effects and there were deaths related to all kinds of medication. It is not about those ridiculously rare cases (which mostly arent even proven to be 100% coming from the vaccines/medication). Its about risk vs benefit. And once you compare that its very clear that there isnt any more risk with this vaccine than with any every day medication and only very slightly more risk than there would be risk for those things to happen in your every day life without any type of vaccine/medication WITHOUT Covid. In the current situation your chance of getting Covid and then having those blood clots etc is literally thousands of times higher than your chance of suffering those side effects from the vaccine

I had Moderna on a Saturday and 3 days later I woke up for work very dizzy and my blood pressure was very elevated. I saw my family Dr after work and he increased my BP meds and again he saw me 2 days later to see how I was doing. My BP was much lower but I still have a slight headache, some dizziness , not as much as before and my head is a little “foggy “ so to say. I’m not taking the second dose .
Definitely want to see how they separate from normal levels of the clot vs covid caused vs vaccine. Seeing how this is already a well known covid symptom I'm not convinced yet. Also has anyone actually looked up the rates of blood clots from birth control? It's pretty damn high.
Thanks. Is nice to hear a non shouty voice for once. I had one jab, but wasn't sure about going for my second (I've had some issues, but it's hard to find doctors that look at you, let alone one that can hear you.) I have no idea what's right, I only know I'm over everyone pretending they know everything. Appreciate you don't delete opposing opinions too.
@@nickijames5122 the guy that gave me my second was reluctant to comment so perhaps your right? So far I'm doing ok tho. Completely relate to your worry (The kids I work with tipped the balance for me) i hope you find an answer your happy with x
It IS very very rare. Your chance of getting any severe side effect from the vaccine is 1 in 100000. 95% of them are easily surviveable. If you dont get the vaccine you will get Covid. Thats for sure. Its a matter of time. Once you got it your chance of being hospitalized is 20% regardless of age or pre existing symptoms. Now compare those risks
I know a family with genetically low factor 4 - I guess they wouldn't have an issue. Thanks for the UK update, it does give hope for us in the rest of the world.
In Canada VITT prevalence has been updated to 1 in 55K doses as of beginning of May 2021. Statisticians have noted that unless you are high risk for covid (region + job) that the risk otherwise equals out and mRNA should be considered for lower risk individuals. Relatively poor education campaign around this though :/
Correction: the tally is now 209 cases, 41 deaths in the UK alone. I was very disappointed that this info was only released in dribs and drabs. Initially, the problem was aggressively branded as a 'political smear campaign' against AZ by several European countries in British papers - for two weeks, including papers like the Guardian. For weeks, our European scientists and researchers tried to find an explanation why the UK hadn't seen anywhere near the same number of cases as the EU. Was it a bad batch? Was it a problem to do with one manufacturing site? They trusted the official statements from the British government. Only to see, over the Easter weekend, a tiny update that told us that in fact, the incidence and case fatality rate of this side effect was the same in Britain as it was in the EU. (Bear in mind - the initial reaction was not 'we will look into this / we don't have the numbers yet'. It was silence, and then a very strong suggestion, via the media, that the EU was trying to 'talk down' the *Oxford* vaccine) The Guardian even rebranded the discovery of some Norwegian, Austrian and German researchers - that this was indeed a (rare) side effect, likely an autoimmune process, with an idea how to test for it - as the discovery of a British researcher. Nothing to do with your channel. You are an amazing human being. But some people in Johnson's government clearly aren't.
While I was in the hospital during a Sickle Cell (SCA) crisis my nurse made an offhand comment about the vaccine being dangerous to those of us with (SCA). I obviously couldn't really process what she was saying at the time, nor did I take her seriously. (Most heath care workers know so little about SCA, so I really only trust only those dedicated to hematology). Could she have meant that those of us with the disease are more likely to have blood clots or will the vaccine actually trigger a serious SCA crisis like she mentioned?
I know there are limited supplies, but is the UK considering moving to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines which use different methods not associated with blood clots? I'm in the US and got Pfizer as it was recommended women under 50 avoid J&J due to it, even though it's still pretty rare.
Latest research from Oxford uni for UK and EU data shows risk for cerebral clot for astrazeneca is 5 per million. Pfizer and moderna is 4.1 per million. The other major clot in liver is 1.6 million for Astrazeneca but for pfizer and moderna is 44 per million so way higher risk. Not sure why this isn't all over the news for Pfizer. Interestingly Johnson and astrazeneca doing more research and Pfizer has refused to take part in it! Not quite so clear!!
@@sarahbarnes7008 also the risk of these clots are so so much higher with actual covid infection, even mild infections. I guess you saw the data presented by Dr John Campbell?
The risk level is spelled out clearly for those in their twenties & above 60, what about those in the middle? Also are those with comorbidities more prone for this rare reaction? Always in awe of our immune response. Too little you’d be swarmed by infection but the wrong signal & it becomes your worst nightmare. Take care everyone 🙏
Have you found a great increase in strokes? My partner had a stroke last week but had been complaining of numbness in left arm and hand from after 2nd AZ vax in July 2021. Had severe headache at back of head, next day collapsed on floor numb all down left side. In hospital now. Now heard of 3 younger men have had strokes this week. Are there any statistics made on how many AZ vaxxed people have had strokes v unvaxxed people since the roll out of vaccines? Partner doesn't have covid but I worry he might get it in hospital. If that happened and the worst happened it would be put down as a covid death.
It would NOT be put down as a Covid death. Stop lying. Only people who are clearly tested positive and have severe symptoms are put down as Covid deaths IF the symptoms were what killed them. The vaccine does not cause Covid. PCR tests are 98% accurate
AZ now not advised for people under 50 in Oz. Other issue is it is significantly less effective eg75% than Pfizer. 95... people seem to forget that part and freak out when some still get sick...
I read some where by extending the time between the first and the second shot to 12 weeks, the efficacy increased to somewhere around 92%. The 72% or 79% efficacy rate was based on the original recommendation of only 6 weeks between shots.
The odds of a blood clot from the second dose if you didn't have a blood clot from the first are even more rare, though. I think they've only had like four cases _total_.
I’ve been told not to have anymore vaccinations due to the ongoing issues after the first dose of AstraZeneca, I’d already made my own mind up on not having anymore, infact it’s the worst decision of my life having any at all.
I wonder if I waited months to get my second, would I have to start all over again with the first dose? I know any efficacy declines slightly after 12 weeks but I really don’t feel confident to get the second dose yet and I’m nearly at 12 weeks 🤔
Thank you for explaining it clearly. I recently got my first dose of AZ, and I've been feeling fine, but I know that I can only speak from my own experience. From what I've learned, every body reacts differently, so it's best to do a medical check up before getting the vaccine, I guess. Have a great day!
I wanted to continue the updates from what we are seeing in hospital to keep you in the loop if you are interested. The big change over the last couple weeks being many people concerned with headaches or blood clots after vaccination. Pretty much everything in this video is subject to change as we learn more... However this is my best breakdown of what we know to date! Hope you are all well.
My dad took first dose 26 days ago.
He is having headache from 3 days?
Today he has fever & cold
Please guide Sir, I am worried.
Tommarow we r going to do COVID test.
Just to add my experience. When I was offered my vaccination, I asked if I had a choice of vaccines, and was told it was normally whatever the vaccination centre had in stock. My preference was for the AZ vaccine, and that's what I had. My choice was mainly as I was more dubious about the mRNA vaccines as they're more novel. Good news I guess wrt adverse reactions to mRNA to date is it presumably demonstrates potential for those to be used with other diseases. And being on warfarin, presumably a lower risk for clotting with the AZ vaccine.
But my own good news is my immunity mask arrived last week, so now I can wear it for my upcoming endocrinology appointment. I'm curious to see if anyone at the hospital recognises it :)
@@SRKkkkkkkkkk if you’re concerned you should speak to your own doctor, they will know your father’s medical history.
Would love for you to do more follow ups on this.
I'll be curious to see if the clotting increased in those that were already taking medication that increased clotting possibly, such as hormone birth control.
I was so ill in the early hours of the morning after I had the jab, I thought I was having a heart attack, I have leukaemia, and no way did they have time to test wether people with cancers or other chronic illnesses would be able to take this.
You will be okay just get some vitamin d and zinc in ur system. And magnesium
"No way" you say this as if you are certain, and since I've read the research showing they DID test the vaccines on people in different stages of different cancers I know you are wrong.
Maybe ask a professional before you spread bullshit information around.
@@wisersamson9000 i am not trying to spread anything, I am telling the truth, that is what I experienced after the jab, if you can lead me to the piece that you read about having time to test the vaccine on cancers, I would welcome this and be only too pleased to read and digest it. Never be nasty without suggesting some help to disprove.
There was no time to do long term tests for all sorts of things. The reason these "treatments" never got approved previously is because in the animal tests, all the animals died. The spike proteins stick to different organs in the body and then the body attacks it's own organs, as invaders. So this causes the damage often seen as blood clots. The other issue is auto-immune disease. The drugs damage your immune system so that your body cannot fight off normal infections. We will see many people die this winter when they meet a normal cold or flu virus. If you had the first injection, please don't get any more of them. And I wish you the very best for your recovery from leukaemia.
Queeks Headtaker *I beg your pardon!? That's not a very nice way to speak to Jacqui, is it, Queeky!Whats your qualifications, if any, & where do you work!? And I do believe Jacqui is correct in what she stated, so I suggest you apologise to Jacqui, ok!? I've never seen anything that states these EXPERIMENTAL jabs were trialled on leukaemia or cancer patients etc neither! Think you might be wrong there! Also, why did you purposely forget to state the adverse effects on Vaers & Yellow card scheme website!? Or inform Jacqui that she could register her adverse effects there!?😉*
We still have no idea about long-term effects?
If they didn't know that people would die of thrombosis so quickly, what else do they not know?
We are only told the information necessary to manage us ,This applies equally to the virus and the vaccine .The only way to really know is to go out and get it .!
Any one being held liable????
@@KeithCindyPanama laws have been passed that make vaccine companies immune to lawsuits. These laws are decades old. Vaccination isn’t as safe as the medical community makes it out to be.
But the government says that the v shot is 100% safe, which is obviously why the law came in. The government are always right and have never lied about anything so I really don’t know what the fuss is all about.
I couldn't help but imagine the Cells at Work characters acting out "Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia" when you broke it down for us. 😅
I almost did a little overlay with the platelet characters, but I thought some people wouldn't have a clue what I was doing!
@@DrHopeSickNotes I can imagine a platelet running around drawing on the walls/sticking everything together with their clotting factor.
I showed Cells at Work to my teacher of organology and histology (study of tissues and organs in biology), and she loved it.
@@DrHopeSickNotes Would you know what is the timeline of being at risk for the blood clots, in a nutshell, would we be out of the woods lets say after 4 weeks? Or would we be at risk of a blood clot indefinitely?
@@DrHopeSickNotes It would've been a good inside info for those who follow the channel though, hehe.
Systemic thrombosis seems VERY dangerous to me! I mean, honestly isn't this why it normally takes 5-10 years to assess these drugs, rather than finding this stuff out as we go along? isn't that technically a TRIAL? And ethically, is everyone who gets this medicine aware that it's a trial?
Yup. And it is rare which is why it is serious that’s it’s happening more frequently now than before the vaccine rollouts.
Everyone taking the jabs before the clinical trial ends in 2023 is part of a massive experiment. You are the test.
Right, good questions!
@@whiteprisms3123 Watched BBC news this morn but no mention of a very important matter - news about BBC Presenter Lisa Shaw dying aged only 44?

@@zantas-handle Really? Omg, I will look into it! I can certainly imagine that being covered up or relegated to the side...
Considering 99.5% of people infected make a full recovery. The risk percentage starts to look rather different.
Our concern should be vulnerable and elderly.
In regards to the mRNA, no one knows the long term effects, and the pharmaceutical companies are not renowned for their honesty.
Well said
That’s not true as statistics change and will change during the pandemic and if they don’t then it’s not true.
.05 of 322M in the US is 16.1M people that would not make a full recovery. Think again when you see a small percentage like that, the number might not turn out to be small.
incorrect statistic. where did you get 99.5% from?
@@kthxciao1465 I am unsure of your point as your information is a bit brief. Could you expand?
My friend didn't have a headache or anything, but the short-term pain in the arm lasted for over a month.
many long term side effects are not known. Just not enough testing done yet. You can refer to the AZ vaccine docket published by the EMA. They highlight the product info there. Everything from it being authorised for emergency use only to not enough testing on various different groups of people and even animals.

Over 700,000 side effects, some permanent and over 1,000 deaths here in the UK according to the yellow card reports .
And there only the registered ones
I know a 33yo woman that died after two days from a stroke, perftectly healthy before the vaccine, she wanted to go in a vacation, and I have a relative that stayed two weeks in intensive care after receiving the az. So it’s clear that the death rate from the vaccine is pretty high. Moreover it doesn’t kill the old and sick but the young and healthy
@@rotorblade9508 Because that's their plan...
127,976 dead from covid vs 1,000 dead from the vaccine. you may say the covid number is inflated unless it's 100,000% inflated the cure beats the problem. also if you dispute the covid numbers then by all accounts why are you not disputing the vaccine death number? at the end of the day less people going to hospital less people using ICU machine. you people are trying to faremonger people away from the vaccine but no matter how you look at it the cure beats the problem.
@@toonskiplays3610 The issue is that there may be harmful long-term consequences to the vaccine that we don't know about because no long term clinical studies have been conducted and because of the new gene therapy technology that the mRNA vaccine is
I actually feel the mRNA vaccines will have side effects in the long term. So being Australian I will just sit back and watch the show. Those with blood clots with the Astrazeneca is a lot higher here at around one in a thousand.
That’s utter rubbish.
Why do you 'feel'? that is not a fact. I had my AZ vax today and am a Research Fellow Molecular Biologist here in Australia. Deaths are 0.2 per 100,000 vs 3000,000 per 100,000 deaths from covid in Australia. What's more the clots are easily diagnosed and easily treated.

I suffer from severe headaches. They probably aren't migranes according to my neurologist, but they feel like a sharp cramp in my brain and can last for up to three days (medication only relieves it a little bit). I also suffer from anxieties and even though I'm getting Pfizer, I'm still terrified and recently I've been getting nightmares related to vaccination. The headache terrifies me far more than fever :(
Well, go see a doctor about your headaches. But if the headaches started before you got vaccinated, it's clearly not this problem!
@@SpaghettiToaster I don't think you got the point. I didn't say I got a headache because of the vaccine (in fact I hadn't taken one when I was posting)! I was simply sharing my anxieties, because the headaches I get are unbearable (before I started comparing them to "brain cramps" people didn't really get how severe the pain was - seriously, when I broke my tailbone the pain was nothing compared to when I get a headache) so I'm scared of the vaccine inducing one.
@@Stormchantress No, I get it, but I'd say you shouldn't be worried about that. Because first of all, this complication is extremely rare, and also, if it does occur, it doesn't cause chronic headaches anyway, because it needs to be treated immediately so you don't die. Also, there are many kinds of headaches and whatever caused the ones you experienced likely has nothing to do with what causes the ones if you get this side effect. And neither should the one put you at greater risk of the other. The only thing that's likely to happen is that you might get headaches for a day or two from your normal immune reaction to the vaccine, similar to when you have the flu, but those aren't nearly as bad as what you describe.
@@SpaghettiToaster I'm not sure what "normal headaches" are, frankly. I've actually got my first dose of Pfizer last Friday evening (no side effects other than a sore arm until Monday afternoon) and now, four days later, I've had one of my severe headaches for about 3 hours and I haven't got a clue whether it's related or a coincidence.

I’m in Alberta, Canada and we are in the midst of wave 3….our biggest yet! Our vaccines are behind the UK due to supply issues, but we are finally getting first doses in arms so I am hopeful our hospital cases will drop after watching this! At the moment our ICU cases are rising …..sigh….I’m high risk (breast cancer) and got my vaccine as soon as I was able!
oof, I feel ya there! Here's hoping the pandemic subsides soon!
Fellow Albertan here. The cases are insane and only going to get worse sadly. The 11% positivity rate is alarming to say the least...
Although I am under 30, I believe I qualify for a vaccine due to celiac disease and ADHD, so the minute I have the option I am going!
I hope you stay safe and well :)

I have congential thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) so I recognized the symptoms right away, & had been wondering how it compares to acquired/immune TTP. So I was very interested to learn that, in spite of the plethora of similarities -even demographically,- whilst TTP is caused by overly long Von Willebrand factors due to a lack of ADAMTS13, CVST is caused by mis-activated Platelet Factor 4.
Thanks for your efforts to keep us informed!
Situation is getting worse here in India. Shortage of oxygen, beds, vaccines.
I wish you all well
I'm so so sorry, it sounds horrendous. Hope the world and the Indian government are able to get some kind of control quickly.
So sorry. We're starting now to get out of the same thing here in Brazil (thanks Bolsonaro). It's still bad but at least it's kinda starting to look like the worst has passed. It really is horrible. And not only otherwise avoidable covid deaths blew through the roof, but also otherwise avoidable deaths related to other things, because there was simply no ICUs, no rooms, no doctors, no hospitals whatsoever available for anything.

I didn't really have an achy arm after my AZ vaccine but I had a funny sensation like pin pricks all over the vaccinated arm later that day. I've also had headaches here and there over the past 8 weeks. Also my ears are ringing like what I expect tinnitus would be like. My mood has been down on occasions and I've cried alot. Just don't know what I can attribute to the vaccine or not, all very odd.
Please report to VEARs if you are in the US. So many reactions are not reported.
I’ve been the same, severe and constant headaches, numbness and light pins needles in injection left arm, which occasionally goes into all my limbs and abdomen (injection date 19th March 2021 with AstraZeneca)
Been hospital three times and sent home saying they can’t find anything wrong, then finally got admitted to hospital and had ct scan on brain, no signs of stroke or tumours.
Also since had MRI scan on brain, neck and spine, seeing a neurology consultant next week and hopefully going to get some honest answers and treatment.
It is all very scary, I was perfectly well before this injection on absolutely no medication at all.
I have filled 4 yellow card reports in and even spoke to AstraZeneca on 4 occasions, but still no answers.
You could be having a spiritual awakening. Never took the shot but I've had ringing in my ears for 4 weeks and was having emotional downs but also ups but also sensations on my body that I couldn't explain why they are occuring. Looked online what could be the cause, alot of it pointed to spiritual energy problems in my body. Just my two observations.
As I was having moderate to bad headaches after the second AstraZeneca jab four weeks ago, I was beginning to wonder about blood clots. But last week I had my annual routine Type 2 diabetes review (borderline, no tablets) along with the associated blood test. The test results came back the next day and my platelet count is within range. Most other blood results were also in range, with two or three just on the threshold. HbA1c was 43. Now I wonder whether labs which do routine blood tests have been told to watch out for low platelet counts if the patient has recently received the AZ vaccine. The lab won't know the vaccine status of individuals, but the GP practice which receives the results back from the labs will know. If the practice then asks the patient if (s)he has been experiencing headaches, this could be an early warning. In my case my GP pronounced the results satisfactory and told me to book in for another blood test in three months. I am 75, male.
Glad you’re okay. Did you get side effects after your first jab? I’m due my second and really scared, moreso than the first time, and I was bad enough then. I had a pain on top of my head 8 days after the first AZ jab. I didn’t need painkillers and it went away about 1.5 weeks or so later. I already have pinprick dots mainly on my - had them for years, but I thought to just get a few things checked and a blood test before my second jab. Doctor didn’t know what the dots are - weird, as she’s a darn doctor 🤦🏼♀️ Didn’t ‘think’ the pain I had was linked to a clot and AZ. My blood test is back and it’s flagged up that my wbc is low, not dangerously, but still lower than it was in March when I had my first dose. My platelets has gone down too, but still normal range. My anxiety is through the roof and I can’t go through with the second jab unless I can be reassured 😖
@@nickijames5122 No, I had practically _no_ reaction after the first jab, not even a sore arm. On the evening of the day of the first jab I suddenly got very tired and slept for an hour (at 6:30pm), but I woke up feeling fine, but a little zonked. And then came the second jab! Again, initially, no reaction until about 2 weeks later, as I described in my earlier email. Yesterday I started to feel truly back to normal with only a tiny headache, and today the headache has gone.
Now yesterday I Skyped with my nephew in Germany for almost 2 hours and he has had his first jab (age: 42). He, too, had nothing to begin with, but then at around 10:00pm he had gone to bed and woke up a short while later absolutely freezing, you know, when the body cannot stop shivering. He put on more blankets and got his heating pad that switches off after 2 hours. Some while later he started getting a ferocious headache, about a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. He said maybe it was even an 8. The worst headache he's ever had. This went on all night (it was Saturday by then) and all of Sunday at somewhat lesser intensity. Then by the Monday morning the headache had finally subsided.
Now elsewhere in a different thread I left a long and detailed comment about my trip to the hospital to get the headache checked out. I'll see if I can find it and link it back to here. May take me a while though to sus out the inner workings of YT. But all in all, I have now read too many times how headache is a major side effect of AZ, so it maybe normal for most recipients to experience it. By the way, I could only take paracetamol (Tylenol). I can't take ibuprofen because it interacts badly with my heart meds.
One should always remember that there are young people living with chronic health issues and disabilities, and for them the risk of COVID being devastating is much higher than the average young person.
I got COVID-19 back in February, luckily I had moderate symptoms. The worst part was the headache that persisted for several weeks afterwards. I got my 1st dose of Pfizer vaccine recently and I think it actually helped to relieve my headaches. It's either that or one hell of a placebo effect lol.
Keep researching please! Some people who reported easing of "long hauler" covid symptoms after 1st vax shot found symptoms returned after second dose.
I haven't been vaccinated myself but I did have the virus in February too but my symptoms were very mild, my symptoms were just a cold with a tiny bit of pneumonia but it wasn't scary, yes I did have anxiety about what could happen to me next but my symptoms stayed the same, they didn't get any worse & it all cleared up in a week, since the pandemic started I been taking vitamins such as C & D & I have zinc & maybe that what played it's roll why I never had Covid so bad, 2 weeks ago I woke up one morning pasted with a cold but I was Covid negative & it was just a normal cold & it lasted only 2 days & it was gone so maybe the vitamins was to do with that or my Covid antibodies fought my common cold.
Update after 2nd shot if anyone is interested. :) I had a slight fever on the day of the second shot and the usual sore arm (not as bad as the 1st shot though) but other than that everything seems to be fine, luckily no headaches either.
The back and forth on the AstraZeneca vaccine (for everyone, then just for 60+, now suddenly 18+) and unclear messaging on what risk this is has really not helped. I'm 25, female, and have signed up for my first AZ vaccine on Saturday, but despite knowing about the rarity of this side effect and planning on monitoring myself for weeks to come I'm super anxious... psychosomatic effects are not fun! At the same time I don't know when they'd make the mRNA vaccines available for 18/20+ (it's at 40+ atm) so waiting even longer feels wrong too.
(I just want this whole mess to be over)
I’m 30 and I will take AZ vaccine too. I really don’t trust mRNA vaccines at all!
I’m an anxiety sufferer and you’re right, it’s no fun imaging the worst and thinking we’ve got symptoms of something serious when we may not. It’s an illness itself. I’m going crazy worrying about getting my second dose of AZ.
I am amazed at the complacent attitude presented here. A potential life threatening condition following a totally unnecessary jab and the MHRA is still not investigating, neither are MSM reporting on adverse reactions.
Sun? In Britain?! What is this lunacy?
Currently in Australia we have 24 blood clotting cases to 2.1 million vaccinations. This gives it a ratio of 1:87500. Many 50 + are wary!!!
Best, fullest, clearest, most straightforward explanation I've heard so far of the situation vs. AZ vaccine and the situation in the UK in general. Many, many thanks. Rock on, Dr. Hope!
Thank you for making this video. I had a stroke when I was young (now in my 30’s)followed by DVT (they suspect caused by surgical stockings removed by nurse too soon) They could never find cause for stroke. I was offered the Pfizer vaccine and unfortunately had bad allergic reaction to the first dose. I was advised not to have the second dose but to wait to see when there is more data about mixing vaccines. I’m now not sure if I’ll be able to be fully vaccinated at all going forward. Hopefully I’m not extremely high risk as I’m not overweight or older and healthy otherwise but so difficult to know what is the best thing to do.
The main symptoms to look out for are severe headaches 3-16 days after receiving the Astra-Zeneca vaccine and/ or petechiae. Petechiae are small blood red dots on your skin caused by capillary bleeding. Or if you're not stopping to feel sick past three days after vaccination with Astra-Zeneca.
It is actually treated the same way "heparin induced thrombocytopenia" is treated. Except we can actually treat it with heparin after an autoimmune reaction to heparin is excluded.
All the best to everyone!
Doctor,
1. what is the latest on whether the S1 produced by the vaccines are able to cross the blood brain barrier in humans (we know they do in mice)?
2. What is the disintegration time of mRNA in cytoplasm (pfizer) vs disintegration time of DNA in nucleus (AZ)? Is it bad to have that DNA hanging around in the nucleus for an extended period of time?
Doctor, What about D-dimer test? If the platelets are low, will D-dimer show if there is any clot?
Thank you Dr Hope for explaining Vaccine-induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia.
With my one semester's worth of knowledge in pathology, I was so confused when I heard that blood clots can happen when the platelet level is low. I was confused to the point that I thought the Chief Medical Officer (here in Australia) must have misspoken. Now it's clear as day to me. So thank you Dr Hope!
My mom had the 1st jab (she's 65) then had a stroke, the doctors say its not related, at the time they didnt know it was a risk?.. Now they want her to get 2nd jab! I'm not an anti-vaxer (I've had first jap and will get the 2nd). But how can we be sure that her stroke wasn't connected, when we dont really know much about this Vaccine? Is it too late for the blood tests? If you got a clot once are you more likley to get again? Who do we go to with these questions?
Thank you for explaining it so clearly! I'm only a week in from getting my AZ vaccine so I have 3 more weeks or so of "my leg feels funny, I must be dying", "my head hurts, I must be dying", and "my finger went numb, I must be dying". Completely ignoring that these happened before and are caused by awkwardly sitting while scrolling on my phone for too long. Thanks for the update.
After my first dose of AZ i was fine at first about 8 hours later had a very heavy head and shivering felt really bad like i had flu or something slept the next day all day had a sore arm for weeks , been 13 weeks now and no sign of contacting me for 2nd dose ,
As someone with a high risk of getting an aneurysm, you bet I'll be going to hospital if I end up with any headaches after the vaccine. We have the pftizer one here in Australia. It's yet to be rolled out to everyone.
I look forward to knowing your view about this rare side effect of AZ vaccine. Crystal clear: I 'll get my second shot with greater confidence. Actually, being a teacher , better AZ than nothing. Hope more countries could reach UK levels of vaccination but of course personal responsibility is a key factor. Stay safe. 🇮🇹🍀🇬🇧
Had my first jab (AstraZeneca) in March and, apart from a slightly sore shoulder for a couple of days after, I've suffered no adverse reactions or side-effects. Now waiting on the booster jab to come, probably mid June, early July if all things go to plan.
It's not to late, you Still can.
@@jaybell1390 Hi, what's not too late? You still can what?
@@lyndseygreig6424 suffer side effects
I have some small blood spots under the skin could that be low platelets
I’ve had these pinprick dots under my skin, mainly arms, for years, no problems, but having the second dose AZ really worries me. I did get a pain on my head a week after the first jab but it went away 1.5 weeks later, but it worried me enough to get a blood test done before my second dose. My wbc and platelets results have dropped from March blood test, although platelets still in normal range and wbc low but not dangerously. Just worried the AZ has had the opposite effect on my immune system. Defeats the object of having it then 😖
We all know that we have to die one day, no matter how much we try to protect ourselves from harm's way.
I personally have experienced the death of my partner of 39 years after he had received his first dose of PZFIER COVID-19 vaccine. On day 7 after the vaccination, my partner complained to me that he had a massive head and he immediately lost all consciousness. He was rushed to the hospital, the neurologist explained to me that my partner had developed a 2.3 cm blood clot in his brain; therefore, the neurologist asked me to sign a consent form for an open-brain surgery to be performed immediately. The surgery was unsuccessful because my partner also developed low platelets, so he bled to death during the surgery exactly like what was being described in this video.
A Doctor not selling the fear propaganda. How refreshing!
Tis why I'm not getting my second dose of AZ.
I've had one and have some protection. Also had a bad react from my first one 31 March. still get discomfort at injection site.
I feel like you and in pretty much the same situation.
Had my second dose of the AZ vaccine 4 weeks this week and since I’ve had it I’ve not been well. Major aura migraine 3 days after now left with Constant stabbing headaches, numb and tingling face that will not go. Been taking naproxen and carbamazepine twice daily for 3 weeks which do not help much. Starting to get anxious. Had a CT scan and bloods done but doctors said I was ok.
Hey, I hope you're doing better. Any updates?
My husband has Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura already. Does this mean he will be at increased risk of this happening? He had his second AZ vaccine a few days ago - no side effects so far. Is there anything we should watch out for in terms of symptoms?
I had the first jab, reluctantly, nearly 3 months ago, and wasn’t too bad until day 8 and I had a jabbing pain on top left side of my scalp. No painkillers as it wasn’t bad enough, and no other obvious symptoms, but it concerned me as I suffer severe anxiety anyway. It went away nearly 2 weeks later. I’m due for my second dose now and shitting it. My Dr doesn’t ‘think’ the pain I had was anything related to the AZ and clots and I would’ve had to go to hospital had it been related, she said. I wouldn’t know if it could’ve been a warning 🤔 I got a blood test done to reassure me and I’m more worried than ever. My platelets are in normal range but have still dropped abit since March, when I had the first dose, and, my wbc is low although not dangerously low, but the lab still flagged it up. It could be nothing, but I’m now so stressed whether to get my second dose, or wait and have my bloods redone in a months time. I worry the vaccine could be having the opposite effect on my immune system and I’ve never had problems my whole life. I sure as hell don’t want any from this vaccine 😖
Are people having a high risk for autoimmune disease likely more at risk to get this complication?
I have been having this weird headache that i cant quite comapre to anything i had before, but it started a day after the vaccine and nothing works to stop it. I hope it will still go away.
After a good month it went away and all is good now. Got the second shot and had a very intense migraine for about 24 hours. So yeah im good now.
hi anne my mom also had persistent headaches for over a month after e 2 doses of the pfizer jabs she took. she described it as a heavy feeling above her eyes. we prayed for her and thank God she is ok now.
I have the same ! I’m not taking the second Moderna!
@@joanchoo9287 I have that same heavy feeling over my eyes ! It’s been a week since I had the shot.
I had a jabbing pain left top side of head 8 days after first AZ jab. It went away after 1.5 weeks or so and nothing major, but worried me since, doctors don’t really care, they just keep comparing the effects of getting covid! My bloods have gone down slightly too, and I already have pinprick dots on my skin, but scared the jab could cause a clot with second dose 🤦🏼♀️

I happen to know a person who is a top virologist and is also a close associate of a person who was closely involved in developing the AZ vaccine in a very senior role. This person warned that there was still work to do with the vaccine in regard to the subject of blood-clotting and overcoming it. That person was over-ruled, the CEO said they would lose money otherwise and it was to be rolled out at once. The person left the vaccine programme.
Hi Doctor, my grandma who is 86 is in bed can't move, swollen arm and leg in the same side, with severely clotted blood, Right After the AstraZeneca Vaccine, her lower back and legs hurt now can not move, not even sleep in the sides. In the beginning she couldn't sleep and started to have hallucinations. She is now on blood thinners and many medications.
Is it from the vaccine? Well yes since it started litteraly 2 hours after getting it.
I am so sorry to hear this. Is your grandma doing better now?
I am so sorry about your grandma. It’s criminal at this point.
I take Ivermectin, but my housemate had his 1st Pfizer jab and has been experiencing headaches for the past 4 weeks. Any advice please? 🖖
So does a headache mean you're clotting...? Should you go to the hospital if you have a headache? Should you avoid a second dose?
A clot in your brain can cause headaches, confusion, seizures, speech problems, and weakness, sometimes on just one side of the body. if its just a headache then it's safe to say it's not a bloodclot
Hi Dr, i hav taken my astrazeneca jab on 14th May, am 31 yrs old and since then have constant headaches every day till today, went to the ER blood tests are negative, went to optician no issues with eyes but still this goes on, please help …. Shld i go fr the head scan ?

Hi... Howz ur headache now..
I clicked so fast! I'm not too stressed about getting my shot next week, but I like being informed. And I love your content🥰

@@LaurenE1991 Getting the moderna here!
@Denise Skinner ... wat? 😅
Bubblegum Witch, I just got my second Moderna dose. Fever of 102 for half a day, and a slight headache. Drank lots of water starting as soon as I got the shot, and took one Tylenol for the slight headache. Never felt too bad. I’m back to normal now, 3 days later.
Bubblegum Witch, I took extra Vitamin D starting 3 days before my second dose.
I’m on Citalopram and they are known to affect platelets as are a few other antidepressants, I’m wondering if the patients who have had clots are/where on antidepressants…could this be a viable link!…
Scary I’m on lexapro which is similar
@@Dancestar1981 exactly…
We get AstraZeneca in India (produced by SII, marketed as Covishield) and there was a lot of worry going 'round - but they got washed out by all the worry about the second wave. I can't wait to get vaccinated soon - all my family members got at least one shot, so I'm the weak spot lmaoo. Love your videos as always, Dr Hope!
The risks from the vaccine are a lot less than the risks from virus. Therefore people who are more afraid of the vaccine than the virus are not all there mentally.
In fact, they’re outright stupid.
@@terjeoseberg990 Yes, although sometimes it's because they're in a place that's been locked down or otherwise had good control of the virus and kept the number of cases very low, so they think 'I have a very low chance of catching covid where I live so why can't I wait a little longer for a different vaccine'. That's not as crazy, as long as they remember that the low number of cases won't stay forever since they can't stay locked down forever... but depending where they live and how long a wait to get a different vaccine it might be completely crazy or not so crazy.
Don't take the shot!!
@@tawnyasue easy for you to say...you don't know the situation here in India, people literally don't know if they are going to survive the next 2 months.
How many cases mean amber where you live? Where I live, it only takes a couple cases.
I think he means the amber zone in the hospital. If I remember correctly, it's where they suppose that everyone has covid just in case, before sending them to the green zone or the red (apparently not anymore!) zone.
As Pelikan has described above. I'm referring to the allocation of beds / rooms within our emergency department. Previously if people were Covid-19 positive they go straight to a red area of the department. However due to so few cases, we don't need a whole areas set aside, we just use individual isolation rooms for anyone with Covid.
@@DrHopeSickNotes Ah, thanks for the quick response! That makes alot of sense
I wish I could have been vaccinated sooner, I did get Moderna. Tell me if I'm wrong but don't people die from complications of over the counter meds and many other prescriptions? I had an angiodema (sp?) from Lisinopril. Doesn't birth control sometimes cause a blood clot? Aspirin an Ulcer that can sometimes cause a death? Millions have died from getting the disease.
The country I'm in juat has a new wave coming up. Vaccine rollout is bureaucratically slow. Yes, it's slower than very slow, and for no reasonable reason. I intentionally be redundant to show my intention to make sure how ridiculous the situation I'm in is.
Congratulations to you Brits. Your government may not be that shiny, but they still work.
So, im a person who has little to no in person contact with other people, outside of 3 neighbors who i occasionally talk to. While i see the vaccine as a benefit, im also very skeptical on how well its gonna work out long term cause its been around for such a short time. Seeing as im so low risk at getting Covid anyways, ive chosen to just avoid both until things are much better and long term affects have been seen. I know some people are probably gonna think im dumb for this, but ive lived this way without getting sick for 2 and half years now, and im probably gonna keep living this way for twice that.
This is a good content, thank you. I got my both jabs already. At first shot I didn't notice that the 2nd fever and headache, appearing at 3weeks after the shot, were due to the low ptatelet count. I only thought it was the continuation of the first fever as vaccine common side effect. But the difference was that my body only got better by guava juice, which is known to increase your thrombosis.
At the 2nd shot though, I didn't have severe immediate side effects, BUT, again, on the third week, I suddenly had high fever and super headache, a bit similar headache like that on third week after first jab. I had blood test, thought it was malaria because I had fieldwork in the endemic area before, but it turned out my ptatelet count was just under the lowest normal range (148). The doctor didn't suspect it was due to the vaccine, and gave me antibiotics and zinc. Fever was gone completely after about 2 days taking the treatment.
I know heparin induced one can be treated by antibiotics, but vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia... might be needed antibiotics as well? (Read: I'm still not sure my low ptatelet counts were due to the jabs).

Because of you I have decided to take up Medical Career
I have thrombophilia with two previous pulmonary embolism, both occurring whilst being treated with preventative blood thinners. I'm now on life long blood thinning injections. I don't want to get Covid but I also don't want to have another clot. Do you think I would be at higher risk of having CVST with the vaccine?
I'm so glad you are covering this, love your videos, and your my fave TH-cam doctor, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. I'm scared now of BOTH, the disease AND the vax 😬. Especially being a woman in my late 30's! In your opinion, should the AZ and J&J be stopped?? In the past, these deaths would have forced these vaccines to be pulled off the market.
No. They wouldnt have been pulled off the market. This is wayyy too rare. About 2 in 100000 have a severe reaction of any kind. Your chance of getting Covid badly is thousands of times higher.
Thanks for the summary, to put things in perspective it’s worth keeping in mind that thrombosis is an issue with the virus too much higher incidence than with any vaccine as far as I’m aware, and hound females taking oral contraceptives are also at risk from thrombus, not this rare type but thrombosis is never good.
The word you are looking for is 'women', and this entire debate has only reaffirmed to me that women's health is an afterthought to most men.
is there a cell at works vaccines episode?
How do you know if you had a blood clot before the whole blood clot thing was known..
I rang 111 (aged 24 and had az vac) to ask about stroke like symptoms and the ambulance they sent out said I was tired and running a fever from the vaccine. I had my vaccine at the beginning of March so before this was even publicised.. Looking back it could have been a clot that a managed to shift itself.. Thoughts?
No clots don’t just shift. You were just having normal side effects from the vaccine.
I was wondering the same, like, can any symptoms after the jab be like a warning?
@@nickijames5122 Yes there’s a list online of symptoms of blood clots.
Hi Dr. Hope, thanks for this video. I had ITP in 2017 and I don't know if there's any precaution that I should take once I get the vaccine, any advise would be great. Thanks! I already talked to my GP and he said I'd probably be given the Biontech vaccine coz Astra is not given to people below 60 here in Germany but I've seen news of Thrombocytopenia cases in USA as well after getting the Pfizer shot.
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly as always! I'm lucky, I had my second vaccination yesterday and the only side effect so far has been a sore arm. Stay safe ❤
Read about antibody dependent enhancement
Got my 1st dose 2 days ago. Having previously contracted COVID in November, I had side effects very similar to early COVID symptoms but they went away after one day.
You r lucky
Curious why you would get a vaccine if you had covid?
How effective are the treatments for VITT? I have heard that intravenous immunoglobulin is used to counteract the condition.
Dear Ed. Sincerely thank you! I've been watching videos about this ahead of getting the vaccine and your explanation of how these nasty clots form is by far the best one!! I am still a bit afraid of getting any jab, being female and 33 with a low platelet count.
Don't take it.
Why are heath care professionals not aspirating when they do these vaccines? Dr John Campbell who does Daily Covid utube videos says he taught health professionals to ALWAYS aspirate. He reckons this should be looked at as a possible cause of these rare blood clots and suggests we all write to our MPs to get this looked at.
It’s rare until it happens to you or a loved one. It needs modifying and soon. Fatal is not friggin good.
Exactly!!! In the past, this vax would have been pulled after even TWO deaths! It's disgusting to me that they keep letting it happen and say "it's totally safe".
@@minners19 this is utter bullshit. Every kind of medication can have severe side effects and there were deaths related to all kinds of medication. It is not about those ridiculously rare cases (which mostly arent even proven to be 100% coming from the vaccines/medication). Its about risk vs benefit. And once you compare that its very clear that there isnt any more risk with this vaccine than with any every day medication and only very slightly more risk than there would be risk for those things to happen in your every day life without any type of vaccine/medication WITHOUT Covid. In the current situation your chance of getting Covid and then having those blood clots etc is literally thousands of times higher than your chance of suffering those side effects from the vaccine

I had Moderna on a Saturday and 3 days later I woke up for work very dizzy and my blood pressure was very elevated. I saw my family Dr after work and he increased my BP meds and again he saw me 2 days later to see how I was doing. My BP was much lower but I still have a slight headache, some dizziness , not as much as before and my head is a little “foggy “ so to say. I’m not taking the second dose .
Definitely want to see how they separate from normal levels of the clot vs covid caused vs vaccine. Seeing how this is already a well known covid symptom I'm not convinced yet. Also has anyone actually looked up the rates of blood clots from birth control? It's pretty damn high.
Yet we Don t get up in arms with birth control, because we rightly treat it as an acceptable risk.
@@tristanband4003 also most people (mostly men) don't realize how many and how high the risks are with it.
Birth control has a lower risk of creating a blood clot than actually having a baby, and we tend to do that a lot as well.
@@rambling964 still it happens too often. We need hormonal birth control in men.
Thanks for this, it really helped understand this weird condition. I hope more people get to see this
Will dry fasting or water fasting help decrease the chance of blood clots?
Look into autophagy
Excellent! I have been looking for an explanation as to why the clotting occurs with the AZ & J&J. Well done👍🏻
Thanks. Is nice to hear a non shouty voice for once. I had one jab, but wasn't sure about going for my second (I've had some issues, but it's hard to find doctors that look at you, let alone one that can hear you.)

Appreciate you don't delete opposing opinions too.
Second jab gives long lasting protection and there haven’t been any of these VITT blood clots after second doses.

Well, it’s good that people are being cautious and getting checked, right? They have antibody tests for vaccine induced thrombosis, right?
Finally some slight honesty… however it’s not very rare everyone I know knows at least one person with this or heart issues
It IS very very rare. Your chance of getting any severe side effect from the vaccine is 1 in 100000. 95% of them are easily surviveable. If you dont get the vaccine you will get Covid. Thats for sure. Its a matter of time. Once you got it your chance of being hospitalized is 20% regardless of age or pre existing symptoms. Now compare those risks
I know a family with genetically low factor 4 - I guess they wouldn't have an issue.
Thanks for the UK update, it does give hope for us in the rest of the world.
In Canada VITT prevalence has been updated to 1 in 55K doses as of beginning of May 2021. Statisticians have noted that unless you are high risk for covid (region + job) that the risk otherwise equals out and mRNA should be considered for lower risk individuals. Relatively poor education campaign around this though :/
No coronavirus cases?
Correction: the tally is now 209 cases, 41 deaths in the UK alone. I was very disappointed that this info was only released in dribs and drabs. Initially, the problem was aggressively branded as a 'political smear campaign' against AZ by several European countries in British papers - for two weeks, including papers like the Guardian.
For weeks, our European scientists and researchers tried to find an explanation why the UK hadn't seen anywhere near the same number of cases as the EU. Was it a bad batch? Was it a problem to do with one manufacturing site? They trusted the official statements from the British government. Only to see, over the Easter weekend, a tiny update that told us that in fact, the incidence and case fatality rate of this side effect was the same in Britain as it was in the EU. (Bear in mind - the initial reaction was not 'we will look into this / we don't have the numbers yet'. It was silence, and then a very strong suggestion, via the media, that the EU was trying to 'talk down' the *Oxford* vaccine)
The Guardian even rebranded the discovery of some Norwegian, Austrian and German researchers - that this was indeed a (rare) side effect, likely an autoimmune process, with an idea how to test for it - as the discovery of a British researcher.
Nothing to do with your channel. You are an amazing human being. But some people in Johnson's government clearly aren't.
While I was in the hospital during a Sickle Cell (SCA) crisis my nurse made an offhand comment about the vaccine being dangerous to those of us with (SCA). I obviously couldn't really process what she was saying at the time, nor did I take her seriously. (Most heath care workers know so little about SCA, so I really only trust only those dedicated to hematology). Could she have meant that those of us with the disease are more likely to have blood clots or will the vaccine actually trigger a serious SCA crisis like she mentioned?
I know there are limited supplies, but is the UK considering moving to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines which use different methods not associated with blood clots? I'm in the US and got Pfizer as it was recommended women under 50 avoid J&J due to it, even though it's still pretty rare.
I really hope so. I’m not getting vaccinated until Pfizer or Moderna are introduced.
Latest research from Oxford uni for UK and EU data shows risk for cerebral clot for astrazeneca is 5 per million. Pfizer and moderna is 4.1 per million. The other major clot in liver is 1.6 million for Astrazeneca but for pfizer and moderna is 44 per million so way higher risk. Not sure why this isn't all over the news for Pfizer. Interestingly Johnson and astrazeneca doing more research and Pfizer has refused to take part in it! Not quite so clear!!
@@sarahbarnes7008 this!
@@sarahbarnes7008 also the risk of these clots are so so much higher with actual covid infection, even mild infections. I guess you saw the data presented by Dr John Campbell?
The risk level is spelled out clearly for those in their twenties & above 60, what about those in the middle? Also are those with comorbidities more prone for this rare reaction?
Always in awe of our immune response. Too little you’d be swarmed by infection but the wrong signal & it becomes your worst nightmare.
Take care everyone 🙏
Have you found a great increase in strokes? My partner had a stroke last week but had been complaining of numbness in left arm and hand from after 2nd AZ vax in July 2021. Had severe headache at back of head, next day collapsed on floor numb all down left side. In hospital now.
Now heard of 3 younger men have had strokes this week. Are there any statistics made on how many AZ vaxxed people have had strokes v unvaxxed people since the roll out of vaccines?
Partner doesn't have covid but I worry he might get it in hospital. If that happened and the worst happened it would be put down as a covid death.
It would NOT be put down as a Covid death. Stop lying. Only people who are clearly tested positive and have severe symptoms are put down as Covid deaths IF the symptoms were what killed them. The vaccine does not cause Covid. PCR tests are 98% accurate
Thanks for the explanation as this was a subject of concern for me. Much appreciated.
AZ now not advised for people under 50 in Oz. Other issue is it is significantly less effective eg75% than Pfizer. 95... people seem to forget that part and freak out when some still get sick...
I read some where by extending the time between the first and the second shot to 12 weeks, the efficacy increased to somewhere around 92%. The 72% or 79% efficacy rate was based on the original recommendation of only 6 weeks between shots.
Whats the Situation if you've had dose 1 of the Astrazenica you've gotta have the second right? you cant take a different one?
That's what I was told. Can't have 2nd from different set of vaccs.
The odds of a blood clot from the second dose if you didn't have a blood clot from the first are even more rare, though. I think they've only had like four cases _total_.
I’ve been told not to have anymore vaccinations due to the ongoing issues after the first dose of AstraZeneca, I’d already made my own mind up on not having anymore, infact it’s the worst decision of my life having any at all.
I wonder if I waited months to get my second, would I have to start all over again with the first dose? I know any efficacy declines slightly after 12 weeks but I really don’t feel confident to get the second dose yet and I’m nearly at 12 weeks 🤔
Thank you for explaining it clearly. I recently got my first dose of AZ, and I've been feeling fine, but I know that I can only speak from my own experience. From what I've learned, every body reacts differently, so it's best to do a medical check up before getting the vaccine, I guess.
Have a great day!
May I know your age range? How are you feeling now?
@@busyaustralia I'm in my early 20s. After my second dose, I only got a bit of a headache. Been feeling fine ever since.
@@maryariddletobesolved8767 thanks for your response. I am on my early 30's and took mine yesterday.
I have declined mine and I am pleased to report I have had no side effects at all, no blood clots, no strokes, and not even a sore arm.
😂 Good to know
