How the AstraZeneca vaccine may cause rare blood clots

In very rare cases, the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has caused a side-effect called VITT – a form of spontaneous blood clotting that can be fatal.

NHS alert to 'call 111' if you spot symptom in just one leg

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — 𝟭𝟯 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱: "𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗼𝗲, 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵."

Thrombosis (blood clots) can block veins or arteries and lead to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, or stroke. Many risk factors are common and modifiable — prolonged immobility, recent surgery, cancer, hormone therapy, obesity, smoking, and unmanaged chronic diseases — so early recognition (leg swelling/pain, sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden weakness or speech changes) and timely medical assessment save lives.

Take simple steps to reduce risk: stay active and hydrate during long travel, maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, control diabetes and heart disease, use compression stockings when advised, and follow anticoagulant instructions carefully. Share this message so more people know the signs and preventive actions — from head to toe, take control.

Researchers are now developing smartphone apps that can do preliminary assessments of microcirculation using your phone's camera with a simple lens attachment.

Machine learning systems are already being trained to analyze these images with superhuman accuracy.

see corrisonding Substack episode it provides a roadmap for Health Canada approval of MicroClot Testing.

A breakthrough in detection methods might finally give us the diagnostic tool we've been desperately seeking

Enter imaging flow cytometry—  this technology can detect and quantify amyloid microclots in blood plasma in about seven minutes per sample.

CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, POTENTIALLY LIFE-SAVING INFORMATION ABOUT STROKES (see the attachment)
Mastodon Post

The first person who got back to me said the link I sent earlier did not work for him. So, I copied the original post; and it is attached here. On this computer, it is not necessary to zoom in.

A friend (a physician) asked me to circulate this to ten people. I am WAY over-complying. It would be great if you could send it to another ten people. The goal is to save lives.
