  1. Study out last month - risk of blood clots from a COVID infection are far higher than blood clots from the (first dose of the) AstraZeneca COVID vaccine. After infection w/ COVID-19, risk of a blood clot climbs to 30 times in the first week!
    The only COVID vaccine with (comparatively very low) blood clot risk was the *first dose* - only from AstaZeneca.

  2. "NPR interviewed scientists who are looking at microclots found in the blood of people with #LongCOVID. These #microclots are unusual in that they are made up mostly of an abnormal type of fibrin and form unusual shapes called amyloid. These fibrin amyloid microclots may be a biomarker for long COVID. Another group had an article on microclots and long COVID. They suggest the term “spike protein induced thrombotic vasculitis” (SITV) to describe the pathophysiology of long #COVID #clotting."
