Papers Confirm Rare Thrombocytopenia Link to AstraZeneca Vaccine

April 09, 2021 One of the first papers to document the rare thrombotic events seen in Austria and Germany involving a form of thrombocytopenia after inoculation with the vaccine jointly developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca has now been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, accompanied by a brief report confirming similar findings in a Norwegian cohort. Taken together the papers show a clear link between this particular vaccine and the ”clotting abnormalities” that have led countries around the world to pause or revise their plans for the use of the Oxford/AstraZeneca product. Critically, say authors, the reports also point the way for definitive testing with widely available tests that would permit affected patients to be swiftly identified and treated, potentially averting serious thrombotic events.

The WHO now states that a causal relationship is considered plausible but is not confirmed, while the MHRA has said that the evidence is now stronger for a link between the vaccine and these events. The EMA calls these unusual blood clots with low platelets and says they should be listed as very rare side effects of the vaccine.
