Abig update has emerged in connection with COVID vaccine and its rare side effects, which are being questioned by several health experts. British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company AstraZeneca has admitted in court papers that its COVID vaccine, Covishield, can cause rare side effect, The Telegraph reported.

Covishield was developed by AstraZeneca and was produced by the Serum Institute of India. In India, it was one of the widely administered COVID vaccine.

What did AstraZeneca say about the vaccine side effect?

Currently, AstraZeneca is facing a class action lawsuit in the UK due to claims that its vaccine caused deaths. 51 cases have been filed against AstraZeneca.

In one of the court papers, AstraZeneca has admitted that Covishield can "in very rare cases, cause TTS". TTS stands for Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome.

What is TTS?

Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) is a rare but serious condition characterized by blood clot formation (thrombosis) coupled with low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia).

TTS typically manifests with symptoms such as severe headaches, abdominal pain, leg swelling, shortness of breath, and neurological deficits. Diagnosis involves blood tests to assess platelet levels and imaging studies to detect blood clots.

Treatment for TTS involves a multidisciplinary approach, including hospitalization, anticoagulation therapy to prevent further clotting, and supportive care. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and plasma exchange may also be utilized to stabilize platelet levels and manage immune-mediated reactions.

Healthcare providers closely monitor patients with TTS due to the potential for severe complications, including organ damage and death. Prompt recognition and management are essential for improving outcomes in individuals affected by this rare but critical syndrome.

"TTS is thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, which is basically clot in blood vessels of the brain or elsewhere, along with a low platelet count. It is known to occur in very rare instances following certain types of vaccines

“Rare.”

They always use that word “rare.”

I don’t think they know what it means.

Tonight, I saw a CDC PSA about the increase of blood clots in the USA and prevention/treatment of such.

Said to go to their web site.

The side effects are rare. The victim can only get thrombosis once.

Who knew - Frantically made ‘vaccines’ due to manufactured fear of a virus that can cause death in people around 80 years old - tested for a few months rather than 10 years, might have negative side effects?
