So are they claiming that this is actually due to the vaccine formulation itself, i.e. does this finding exclude the initial hypothesis of a Quality issue or a specific 'bad batch' of the vaccine?
- dekhn 6y agothe news article doesn't say; it attributes a quote to the doctor saying "it's the vaccine" but it's unclear whether that means "bad batch". Personally, if 3 health workers all go to the same hospital in a remote region complaining of clots, it's more likely that something local happened (as you say, QA, or any number of other sources).
- kwhitefoot 6y agoThe article is a very poor quality summary. The articles in VG are much better. I put a quote from one and a translation elsewhere on this HN page.
