The recent halt of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine in the United States has ignited further debate over whether the quickly-developed vaccines are safe, and whether the risks they pose are worse than the risks of becoming infected with Covid-19, especially among the young and healthy.
A recent study should put to rest at least one of those arguments; a study of over 500,000 people found that the risk of getting a dangerous blood clot from a Covid-19 infection is 95 times higher than the risk of getting a similar clot from a vaccine.
According to the study, cerebral venous thrombosis, the blood clot found to have occurred in six people who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, is experienced at a rate of 39 people per 1 million who are infected with Covid-19, compared to 5 people in 1 million who received a vaccine.
Researchers say the evidence is clear: getting sick with Covid-19 poses a far greater risk than receiving a vaccine.
Some cases of blood clotting has been seen in two coronavirus vaccines – the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and the AstraZeneca vaccine. Both have been halted in certain countries.
Medical experts say that the vaccines, both of which are viral-vector vaccines, as opposed to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which use mRNA technology, could have a certain component to them that could be causing the blood clots in rare cases.
Either way, Professor Paul Harrison of Oxford University says there are two important conclusion to be taken from the study.
“Firstly, Covid-19 markedly increases the risk of CVT, adding to the list of blood-clotting problems this infections causes. Secondly, the Covid-19 risk is higher than seen with the current vaccines, even for those under 30; something that should be taken into account when considering the balances between the risks and benefits for vaccination.”
So, should you get vaccinated? As always, speak to your doctor.
does anyone really buy this?
COVID blood clots can be a great risk for high risk people — who don’t have high levels of vitamin D — and who don’t treat the COVID early and correctly BUT if they do have high levels of D and treat it early and correctly, blood clots do not have to be a serious concern. Keep checking oxygen, and if the oxygen level STARTS to decline, check for clots or pneumonia and treat right away!! Try to get a doctor to give you the right medications because some doctors and even hospitals will not.. Waiting and letting things deteriorate is when things get dangerous. Treat early and Correctly and 99% of people — even high risk will be fine and won’t get blood clots in the first place! Its when you allow the virus to replicate continuously without using medications like ivermectin, HCQ, antibiotics, etc. that it can do so much harm. Many COVID protocols include blood thinners as well to prevent such a scenario.
P.S. Blood clots is only one of the many adverse events from the vaccine…. there are many more that have been noted — so this is a silly comparison to make in an article (isolating only one adverse event to make the vaccine sound safer than getting COVID)
Is the study comparing people with COVID who actually treat it early with ivermectin and the like who rarely end up with bad cases and blood clots or is it comparing the vaccine to untreated COVID? what about comparing the vaccine to prophylaxis that people could take so they dont even get COVID… and they don’t need to risk the vaccine either….
According to the study, 39/ 1mill people clot with COVID vs 5/ 1mill with a vaccine? That’s less than 8x the number of victims. Where do you get 95x from?
