AstraZeneca: Women more likely to develop blood clots from taking contraceptive pills than vaccine

Daily Mail  

Women are significantly more likely to develop blood clots from taking the contraceptive pill than by having the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, doctors have pointed out. Nearly half the UK population has now had their first dose of either the Oxford or Pfizer vaccine Figures from AstraZeneca and the European Medicines Agency show the number of blood clot-related conditions from 17million doses dished out in the UK and Europe up to March 13 'Around 17 million people in the EU and UK have now received our vaccine, and the number of cases of blood clots reported in this group is lower than the hundreds of cases that would be expected among the general population.' Pfizer's Covid vaccine has been linked to more blood clots than AstraZeneca's in reports from the UK, statistics show amid Europe's 'baffling' mass revolt against the jab. He said the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency had made clear there was no evidence of a link between the vaccine and reported cases of blood clots. Professor Anthony Harnden, from the UK's official vaccination committee, said there was proof the vaccine would save lives from Covid but no proof it could lead to blood clots.
