Wife (50) and I were vaccinated at St. John’s Surgery on March 15th. Speaking to local friends and family at the time, there was a massive push vaccinating those in their fifties during mid-March, to the extent I don’t know anyone locally of my age or older who hasn’t been vaccinated. Based on this, they’ll either get to you very soon or you’ve just missed out on ‘the big push’ of first doses and those due second doses within 12 weeks of their first will take priority. I will be interested to see how the local vaccinations continue in the under fifties so please keep us informed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 BBC Quote Seven people have died from unusual blood clots after getting the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK, the medicines regulator has confirmed to the BBC. In total, 30 people out of 18 million vaccinated by 24 March had these clots. It is still not clear if they are just a coincidence or a genuine side effect of the vaccine. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency says the benefits continue to outweigh any risk. However, concern has led to other countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands and Canada to restrict the vaccine's use only to older people. The data released by the MHRA on Fridayshowed 22 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) which is a type of blood clot in the brain. These were accompanied by low levels of platelets, which help form blood clots, in the body. The MHRA also found other clotting problems alongside low platelet levels in eight people. Now the MHRA has confirmed, in an email to the BBC, that "sadly seven have died". Dr June Raine, the chief executive of the MHRA, said: "The benefits… in preventing Covid-19 infection and its complications continue to outweigh any risks and the public should continue to get their vaccine when invited to do so." Investigations are under way to determine if the AstraZeneca vaccine is causing the very rare blood clots. Earlier this week the European Medicines Agency said it was "not proven, but is possible".

Are there loads of middle aged villa fans in central Bromsgrove? Definitely more Villa than other ‘local’ teams, still too many glory team fans but let’s face it, the majority here in North Worcestershire don’t care much for football outside of World Cups. Having said that, I’m friendly with seven households in my small Close just to the North of Bromsgrove and three are big Villa families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickers Bar causes eye infections confirmed. Was your eye infection an extremely rare type that you would expect maybe one or two cases of in your demographic a year? Was there a statistically high number of these rare eye infections happening within a few days of you eating the snickers bar? There may be no proof of a connection, the number may still be low, but it sounds somewhat suspicious to me and definitely worthy of investigation in case some kind of environmental or other link can be established. I mean, if lives could have been saved just by suggesting those people had eaten a Mars bar that one time it seems fair enough to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it not that if the whole of the country is getting vaccinated then that is going to throw these kinds of things up? Surely it’s just a timing issue and that there will be someone who has health issues after the vaccine not because of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s timing, or unrelated. It seems to be directly related, but extremely rare from the medical evidence. Something about blood platelets in some people, like 1 in 600,000 being affected by the vaccine, and of those tiny number of people affected an even fewer number have died. And it’s all the vaccines, not just one type of COVID jab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are so low that it makes me question the link between the vaccine causing it or was it just happening anyway? Are the people who die from the same issue in 2 months just unfortunate or was it vaccine related? What about those in 6 months time etc... I dunno, seems a bit of a reach to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I'm sure hundreds of people sadly die from blood clots every year in the UK anyway. As @Ingram85 says, is this just a timing issue more than anything nefarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
