I saw the description by the doctor who treated the person who died here in Norway. He called it a "catastrophe in the brain" [1] and the life just could not be saved.
It sounds really nasty. Blood clots + low blood plate count at the same time.

- iso1631 6y agoA few weeks after my dad had a covid vaccine he had several seizures, which have continued to happen. On top of that, nearly 3 weeks into hospital and he caught covid. At least the vaccine worked and that's mostly sorted. MRI says he has suffered catastrophic brain damage and is about to be released for palative care for the last Now importantly - I don't know which vaccine he had (and I'm certainly not going to bother my mother over that at the moment) - He's suffered from seizures for the last few years, although those normally follow infections and high temperatures But it's disquieting
- julianlam 6y agoI'm sorry to hear about your father's suffering. However I feel it's important for you to sound an alarm to the relevant doctors and/or public health units if you feel there's a link between his seizures and the vaccine. Whether or not it was the AZ vaccine or not..
- inpdx 6y agoThat's awful. I'm sorry for you and your family. "He's suffered from seizures for the last few years, although those normally follow infections and high temperatures" A vaccine will certainly cause the body to fight the perceived infection, including with high temperatures for some people. It's possible given his history those vaccine side effects should have been considered?
- raducu 6y agoIsn't the low blood platelet a direct result of the clots, isn't that expected? Don't the clots need/use up thr platelets in the process of clotting?
- tyfon 6y agoI have no idea since I am no doctor but from what I read in the article it's not a common situation. The usual treatment for blood clots is blood thinners. Not exactly sure how they work but I've thought it thins it by lowering the number of plates. But it seems that the spike protein on the virus/vaccine is quite similar to a protein on the blood plates so if the body has a runaway immune system response to the vaccine it could attack the blood plates too. The implication here is that this could be true for all the vaccines, there are some similar reports in Israel which do not use the AZ vaccine. These cases are extremely rare though which is probably the most important thing here. It should not disqualify the vaccines.
- raducu 6y agoThanks so much for the info. I was just wondering about Israel -- they vaccinated sooo many people, if this was an issue with the body's reaction to the S protein, it should pop up in Israel too.
