As I am a medical student, peoples usually keep asking me which vaccine is best, either Astrazeneca vaccine is safe or not??? I don’t answer them because of no knowledge about these vaccines, as we have heard a lot of bad news regarding AstraZeneca, our fear is justified. But here is my analysis of why this vaccine is being considered dangerous.
From the very start, we are listening about blood-clotting cases followed by this vaccine shot, and up to some extent, this is true because we know that several deaths happened, out of which recent news is about the death of BBC presenter, her autopsy (post-mortem) revealed brain hemorrhage and many others unreported deaths.
Some countries have banned this vaccine but WHO is on the stance that the vaccine's benefits overweigh its risk.
The most surprising case was of people with the combination of low platelet count (cellular fragment that clots blood) and blood clotting. Researchers have given different opinions based on their researches, according to them, vaccines contain impurities like some sorts of proteins, DNA fragments, and these are leftover remains of the manufacturing process of the vaccine.
I would like to keep it short and want to end up with the result that Elder peoples are more prone to blood clotting as compared to youngsters because our platelet count decreases sharply with age. Even though clotting cases are rare but nobody wants to take a risk. So if you are fifty plus of age then it’s better to opt for other vaccine options
