There are "fact-checks" still online claiming that AZ doesn't cause blood clots.

- technothrasher 5y agoThe early "fact-check" you linked to doesn't claim "that AZ doesn't cause blood clots". Its conclusion: "Whether there is an actual connection is still under investigation and will be closely monitored as vaccination with AstraZeneca's vaccine resumes."
- matthewmacleod 5y agoYou linked to an article that literally concludes with the sentence: "Whether there is an actual connection is still under investigation and will be closely monitored as vaccination with AstraZeneca's vaccine resumes." This is exactly what we should all expect to happen. I don't doubt for a second that there will be citable examples of doctors or media claiming that this particular vaccine did not—or was unlikely to—cause clots. But the statement "I remember doctors and media denying AstraZeneca Blood cloths for months" is clearly intended to misrepresent the actual situation.
