How common is thrombocytopenia?

It’s unknown how many people have thrombocytopenia. Many people have mild symptoms. They might not even know they have the condition. The autoimmune form of thrombocytopenia, immune thrombocytopenic purpura or ITP, affects approximately three to four out of every 100,000 adults and children.

 

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14430-thrombocytopenia

 

The math seems fairly obvious.

So here I think is the problem that I've actually seen a couple doctors mention they are seeing with young female patients some days after J&J.. so I think we have more than 6 patients thus far, and will likely see more.

 

If you have a clot, or even if you have some kind of danger of having clots or death like Afib for instance, you'd be given a blood thinner. If you are admitted to the hospital for a whole host of conditions in fact, you are likely to be given a blood thinner injection just for the risk alone. I've been tested for a bunch of odd clotting and bleeding conditions, including something like ITP and have had PTT'S done. But what happens if you are given a blood thinner in order to save your life from such a dangerous clot (in the brain) and have thrombocytopenia and the doctor doesn't know that? It's not going to work, in fact it's going to cause near-fatal bleeding out internally from the abdomen or brain. That seems to be what happened in perhaps 2 of the cases. If a doctor is made aware of the risks of these potential co-existing conditions after receiving J&J, they could update their treatment options. This kind of reminds me what happened to my dad. The drug he took for a dangerous condition was meant to save his life, however in a percentage of persons something can go wrong. That lead to serious bleeding on the brain and elsewhere. The problem with the drug though (and it is a common widely prescribed one now), is that in the US there is no "antidote" to stop this, compared to similar now-less popular classes. The FDA is aware of this, but millions of people walk around every day with the potential to be in a very serious condition when taking it. There is an 'experimental drug' but if you are in the hospital with this event happening to you, it's rare for anyone to ever receive it. 

 

If the study was correct, and the vaccination causes an activation of antibodies against platelet factor IV, we need to know how rare that occurrence could actually be and if there are other co-existing factors causing it to happen. The rate of those taking birth control is quite high, is there a further risk to any woman now?

I tend to agree, as usual, there is a bit more to the story than those in power are telling us.

My young Taiwanese wife just got her first dose of Moderna yesterday.  We, somehow, managed to snag a same-day appointment at a local Walmart Neighborhood market.  

[yuna628 9,665]

Well I'm now vaccinated with those sweet sweet mind control computer chips. Can't say I feel any different. Maybe some nerve tingling/muscle spasm. Too early to tell.

 

Doctor had a look at the hubby today. Doesn't think the vaccine is the cause but it may have made it more noticeable. Something is absolutely going on with him.

The Most Popular J&J Vaccine Story On Facebook? A Conspiracy Theorist Posted It

https://www.npr.org/2021/04/15/987182241/the-most-popular-j-j-vaccine-story-on-facebook-a-conspiracy-theorist-posted-it

 

CNN. ABC News. The New York Times. Fox News.

Those are the publishers of four of the five most popular Facebook posts of articles about the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine this week. They're ranked 2 to 5 in total interactions, according to data from the tracking tool CrowdTangle.

The No. 1 posting, however, isn't from a news organization. Or a government official. Or a public health expert.

The most popular link on Facebook about the Johnson & Johnson news was shared by a conspiracy theorist and self-described "news analyst & hip-hop artist" named An0maly who thinks the pandemic is a cover for government control.

It's a stark example of what experts warn could be a coming deluge of false or misleading information related to the one-shot vaccine.

In the case of the post by An0maly, a representative for Facebook said the company has taken action against previous posts of his that have broken the social media platform's rules, and broadly removed more than 16 million pieces of content over the past year related to Covid-19 misinformation, but because this specific post did not contain any factually incorrect information, it would stay up.

Maxine Waters tells Jim Jordan to 'shut your mouth' after GOP congressman feuds with Fauci

Interesting study albeit still to be reviewed.

 

Study shows vaccines carry much lower risk of blood clots than COVID-19

 

 

London — A study by researchers at Oxford University in England suggests the risks of experiencing dangerous, rare blood clots in the brain are far higher in those who catch the coronavirus than in those who get either the AstraZeneca vaccine, or the vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna in the U.S. 

Another finding of the research, which was disputed by Pfizer and called "confusing" by the top infectious disease expert in the U.S., was that the number of people who experience clots after getting the vaccines made by the American companies appears very similar to the number who get the rare condition after a shot of the AstraZeneca drug, which was developed in conjunction with Oxford's vaccine institute.

The key finding of the research, revealed Thursday as a "pre-print" study which has yet to be reviewed by other scientists, was that the risk of experiencing a blood clot in the brain was about 95 times higher for people who contract COVID-19 than in the general population.

The Fauch is the biggest reason many people don't want to take the vaccine.  Life is full of risks, and his "zero" risk mentality is simply a joke.  It is not surprising that Old Maxine and CNN comes to the defense of this political hack.

Why just the GOP?  It should be the proper response anyone associated with Washington DC speaks.

I get my second Moderna jab this morning.  The wife had her second Moderna jab last week and interestingly the pharmacist asked us if we knew anyone else that wanted it.  Since we did not live in that area, I called my brother and let him know.  I have no idea if anyone took advantage of the offer.  As to the effects, my wife felt off on Saturday, but felt fine Sunday.  

 

Covid-19 vaccine demand is slowing in parts of the US. Now starts an uphill battle to get more shots into arms

Killing my arm and a slight headache, but so far that is all.

We got our first doses on Wednesday. We both had considerable arm pain for two days, my tastebuds got messed up and he had very bizarre dreams for a couple of days, but we're both doing fine now.
