7 deaths in UK from AstraZeneca vaccine recipients with blood clot connections

Apr 4 2021

The UK medical regulator stated on Saturday that seven out of 30 people who suffered blood clots post AstraZeneca vaccine died. The UK’s acknowledgement of deaths follows several EU countries’ halting of AstraZeneca vaccine use after the potential link to blood clots. Reports of thrombosis followed the administering of 18.1 million doses of the vaccine in the UK.

22 of the cases were a rare blood clotting case, with 8 other cases being other types of thrombosis combined with low levels of blood platelets, which help blood clotting. The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) however stated that people should still received their vaccine when invited to do so, despite the investigation into these connections are still ongoing.

Over 99% of vaccinated patients did not get COVID-19

Apr 4 2021

More than 99% of people who got the COVID-19 jab did not test positive for COVID-19, meaning that immunity against the virus was developed. 0.9% of a vaccinated 186,000 total did contract COVID-19, as Health Authorities informed Times of Malta. Ever since vaccine rollout started in December, details on the vaccine’s impact were quite scarce as health authorities stated that it was too early to provide information while the numbers were still so minimal.

Immunity developed by the vaccines usually takes 14 days to become active, and 0.9% of all those who received the the Pfizer or Moderna jab got infected after more than 14 days following first dose. The rate was even lower when counting the second dose. None of those given both Moderna doses contracted the virus. So far, Malta has administered 212,466 vaccines, of which 58,004 were second doses.
