TRIBUNNEWS.COM — The Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine has been complained several times of causing side effects in the form of blood clots.

Scientists claim to have found the trigger.

There is a detailed explanation of how a protein in the blood is attracted to a key component of vaccine.

This was discovered by a research team from Cardiff, England and the United States.

They suspect this starts a chain reaction, involving the immune system, which ultimately causes the dangerous clot.

The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is estimated to have saved around one million lives from Covid-19.
