The risk of thrombosis with the vaccine AstraZeneca is equal to that with Pfizer: reveals a recent study according to which the safety profiles of the two drugs are “widely similar”. To give the news is an article by Daily Mail taken from Dagospia. The scientists involved in the research, in particular, compared thrombosis rates among more than 1.3 million vaccinated in Spain. In this way they found that both vaccines have minimal risk of causing blood clots. Although a link between the Pfizer vaccine and thrombosis has yet to be proven.
The virus, on the other hand, is eight times more likely than both vaccines to cause thrombosis. Concerns about the safety of the Anglo-Swedish vaccine have prompted several European countries to use that drug in a very limited way, only for some age groups. In light of this new study, a UK government official allegedly accused European leaders of having “bloodstained hands” for throwing away a life-saving vaccine. “Now we know that what we all suspected was true, they did it out of spite for Britain because of Brexit,” the insider told Politico.
“When the history books are written, they will say that these people have been directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people in developing countries that won’t take AZ because of their anti-vax histories, “the official continued. Researchers from the University Institute of Primary Health Care Research Foundation of Barcelona together with a team from Oxford and the Netherlands, and the research will soon be published in The Lancet and only looked at data from Catalonia, a region of Spain. But independent scientists have yet to verify the results.
