Has anyone seen anywhere an explanation behind this widespread halt to the AZ jab?
The unhideable rash of deaths and cripplings that have followed hard on its imposition, perhaps?
It’s because of blood clots amongst the vaccinated.
The counter-claim is that it’s no more than the population average. However that ignores the traditional under-reporting of vaccine reactions, measured once at one in ten being reported.
Expert Dr James Bussel’s (who does link the events with vaccines) rapid calculation arrives at approximately the incidence in the population (see paper at end).
Nothing to worry about then? Not quite - he adds “It assumes that all are reported…”.
Indeed, that factor would blow the whole thing up, if his rough calculation is anywhere in the right ballpark.
Paradoxically the issue may be platelet loss, a condition known as thrombocytopenia, or low platelet count. Bussel has submitted a paper about it, also below. He says it can be caused by vaccines.
The Gates-funded media are shrieking that there is no cause for concern. Good old NPR earns its corn trying to generate some worldly flak:
16/3/21 Criticism Grows As Countries In Europe Suspend The Use Of The AstraZeneca Vaccine
There’s growing criticism in Europe of some countries’ governments deciding to suspend the use of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, since experts say there’s no link between the shot and blood clots.

Meanwhile the Heil indignantly demands to know why the Oxford (AZ) vaccine is in the van when the Pfizer has recorded similar numbers of blood clots.
However the worry is also the pattern of these blood clots:
13/3/21 Three AstraZeneca vaccinated doctors hospitalized with blood clots in Norway
In Norway, three doctors were hospitalized with blood clots. The day before, they were vaccinated against the coronavirus with AstraZeneca vaccine. This is reported by Aftenposten.
“Today, March 13, we received reports of serious cases of blood clots in three young doctors who received the AstraZeneca vaccine. They are being treated in a hospital,” said the Norwegian Institute of Health.
In this regard, the National Institute of Public Health and the Norwegian Medicines Agency urgently called a conference.
The Norwegian Ministry of Health announced yesterday that it is suspending the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine. The reason for this is the appearance of blood clots in patients who were vaccinated against coronavirus.
Earlier it became known that in Denmark, Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Luxembourg, the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine was temporarily suspended.
15/3/21 Coronavirus: woman who died from blood clot after AstraZeneca vaccine had ‘unusual symptoms’, Denmark says
The Danish Medicines Agency said the 60-year old had a low number of blood platelets and clots in small and large vessels
Earlier, Germany halted the use of AstraZeneca’s vaccine after reported blood clotting incidents in Europe
…Norway said on Saturday that three people, all under the age of 50, who had received the AstraZeneca vaccine were being treated in hospital for bleeding, blood clots and a low count of blood platelets, which were labelled “unusual symptoms” by health authorities."
The ‘unusual symptoms’ I think were this thrombocytopenia referred to.
The paradox is that low platelets is linked to clots, as this 2011 study found
“these studies provide evidence that the incidence of thromboembolism is increased in patients with ITP, even in the presence of very low platelet counts.”

The savvy, like Dr Bussel and the specialists consulted by vaccine monitors, may be worried about the combined occurrence of ITP (immune thrombocytopenia) and blood clots.

So playing off the AZ vaccine against the Pfizer may backfire.
