Vaccine manufacturer
AstraZeneca is an international pharmaceutical group. The company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of medicines to treat, among other things, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and gastrointestinal diseases.
” /> is currently facing a class action from 51 families in the High Court of England, after claiming that the manufacturer’s covid vaccine has caused side effects to the vaccine.
The first lawsuit was filed by Jamie Scott in 2023, who suffered blood clots and bleeding in the brain after taking the vaccine in 2023. AstraZeneca disputes the claims, but he has now made another admission in a document sent to the court in February.
There they write that the covid vaccine can lead to thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome
Vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia (abbreviation VITT), also known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (abbreviation TTS), is a disease state in which the body produces antibodies against its own platelets, so that blood clots ‘ creation.
” />, which can cause blood clots and platelet deficiency in very rare cases, but the causal relationship is still unknown. The Telegraph.
Meanwhile, AstraZeneca also writes:
– In addition, TTS can also occur without the AstraZeneca vaccine or any vaccine present. The causal relationship in any individual case will depend on an expert, they write.
They also write that they have sympathy for all those who have lost loved ones or suffered health problems and that patient safety is their highest priority.
Jamie Scott’s wife, Kate Scott, has clear hope in the case.
– I hope their approval means we can get this sorted as soon as possible. We need an apology, fair compensation for our family and other families affected by this. We have the truth on our side, and we are not going to give up, says Scott.
Professor: – Very important
Gunnveig Grødeland is a professor of immunology at the University of Oslo. She thinks it is good that the information about the vaccines is now known in court.
– Obviously it is very important, and you have to remember that the vaccines can have side effects. You have to be humble about that, says Grødeland to Nettavisen.
The professor tells that Norwegian authorities banned AstraZeneca’s use– the vaccine awaiting more information, when people began to suspect that the vaccines could be linked to deaths and serious illness.
– At a man i Norway and Denmark reported possible side effects linked to the vaccine, both before and after this, giving confidence for the future. Saying it is very important.
Agreed or recommended: – Big difference
– Does everyone need to assess the risks associated with taking vaccines?
– No. I would like to point out that FHI in Norway is very conservative and sober when it comes to which vaccines they recommend. All vaccines approved in the EU are also approved in Norway, says Grødeland.
Men:
– There is a big difference between whether a vaccine is approved and whether you can choose to take it, or whether it is recommended de facto. If there is a recommendation from FHI, it is important that the vaccine takes care of serious illness and death.
Grødeland also says that Norway’s vaccination recommendations are “very conservative” compared to other countries such as the US and England.
– It is because we do not have the same population. Norway has a completely different approach to health care for the population. We have a much fitter and healthier population as well.
– The risk of serious illness is not the same in Norway as in the US, and the US has a poor welfare system.
At the same time, Grødeland says that countries such as the USA and England are using vaccination to prevent people from staying at home from work.
– They use financial justification for vaccines. It is not a question that the Norwegian authorities think they know better than others, but that they relate to their society, she concludes.
