Oxford Uni: Risk Of Rare Clot 8x More From Contracting COVID Than AZ Jab

GLOBAL

Oxford University scientists have released a finding from their assessment of COVID-19 vaccines relating to a rare type of blood clot.

  • The findings state that the risk of the blood clot is 100x higher following a COVID-19 infection than would be expected normally.
  • The risk of developing the clot is 8x higher following a COVID-19 infection than the following the first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
  • The risk of developing the clot is 10x higher from a COVID-19 infection than from the first dose of mRNA vaccines such as those developed by Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech.
  • Yesterday, Danish officials announced that the rollout of the AZ jab would be discontinued permanently in the country, which is expected to delay the full rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in the country by several weeks.
