[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2379311, member: 323454"] Based on the information I've had, the rate is approximately the same for the time being. The concern is, however, that these brain blood clots have occurred in such a short period of time. So, once we take into account that these brain blood clots have occurred in approximately a month's time, the rate seems to be elevated by a factor of 7. The reason that rates seem to be more elevated in Germany, as compared to Britain, might also be due to the fact that in Germany primarily young people (among these women between the ages of 20 to 50, which seem to be the primary risk group) were vaccinated with AZ (due to the fact that until recently it was only approved for those under the age of 65 in the EU) while in Britain it was primarily older people who have received the vaccine (and therefore fewer women in the relevant age range). Also based on what I have heard/read in the news, the mechanisms seems to be an autoimmune attack on the platelets in the blood, leading on the one hand to clotting, especially in the brain, and on the other hand to increased bleeding due to fewer platelets in the blood. This is also why they think that blood thinners might not work. [/QUOTE]
