One of the BBC’s most popular and award-winning radio presenters, Lisa Shaw, has died of blood clots after being vaccinated with AstraZeneca, the Guardian reported, citing information from her family.
Shaw developed a severe headache a week after the first dose. Subsequently, thrombosis was discovered. Emergency hospitalization is required, but doctors are unable to save her.
Lisa Shaw, 44, has worked for BBC Radio Newcastle and won the prestigious Sony Gold Radio Host Award.
The BBC said the forensic investigator had not definitively confirmed whether the cause of the thrombosis was the first dose of the vaccine, but said it was one of the possible causes.
The UK Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) claims that the risk of getting blood clots is 1 in 100,000 for people between the ages of 40 and 50. The risk of death in all age groups is about one in a million.
So far, 309 fatal cases have been reported in the UK out of a total of 33 million people who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine. The British regulatory agency claims that the benefits of the vaccine continue to outweigh the risks for most people.
“Obviously all vector vaccines have the problem that it is possible to get thrombosis after their placement, said Assoc. Prof. Kunchev, but explicitly clarified that the chance of getting thrombosis after” AstraZeneca “is 100 times less than getting thrombosis after infection with coronavirus. This, of course, does not make it more acceptable the fact that 3 or 4 per 1 million can develop such thrombosis if they belong to the risk group – women under 60, overweight, taking contraceptives, smokers, etc. or with some thrombotic incident in the past “, said a month ago the Chief State Health Inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev.
He explained that it was this circumstance that instilled mistrust and fueled the harsh atmosphere around vaccines.
At the end of March, another former member of the Staff – Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev, advised people, in the months when they are immunized, “eat more tomatoes and drink tomato juice – this is the best remedy against blood clotting.” The director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases stressed that lycopene prevents blood clotting and blood clots.
