Researchers at UNC School of Medicine have linked a potentially fatal blood clotting disorder to the common adenovirus infection.

Making sense of rare, possibly related adverse events after vaccination can be notoriously tricky, but in this case, U.S. health officials have a blueprint.

The U.S. new cases 7-day rolling average are 6.7 % HIGHER than the 7-day rolling average one week ago and U.S. deaths due to coronavirus are now 24.8 % LOWER than the rolling average one week ago. Today's posts include: U.S. Coronavirus New Cases are 74,312 U.S. Coronavirus deaths are at 909 U.S. Coronavirus immunizations have been administered to 59.3 % of the population The 7-day rolling average rate of growth of the pandemic shows new cases improved and deaths improved J&J Tries to Distance Itself From AstraZeneca Vax What we know about the super-rare blood clots linked to the J&J vaccine

A week after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, a 37-year-old woman in Norway went to the emergency department with fever and persistent headaches. A CAT scan of her head showed a blood clot in blood vessels involved in draining the brain, but her levels of platelets, involved in clotting, were low. She was treated with platelet infusions and a blood thinner, but had a bleed in her brain the next day. She underwent surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain but died two days later. This is the side effect, known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, that has caused a week of worries...

What we know about the super-rare blood clots linked to the J&J vaccine Experts are figuring out how to rapidly diagnose and treat the unusual clots linked to both the Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca shots. ByLinda Marsa Email Scientists are beginning to unravel what is sparking the rare but severe blood clotting reaction that has now been associated with both the Johnson & Johnson and the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines. Called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), this condition occurs when clots form in veins that route blood from the brain, causing strokes or other brain damage. Yes...
