How Astrazeneca Causes Blood Clots: ‘Trigger’ Found

The video discusses the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, which uses a genetically modified virus from chimpanzees to trigger an immune response against COVID-19. A study found that in rare cases, the vaccine can cause blood clots by attracting a protein called platelet factor 4, leading to an immune response. Despite this, the vaccine has been linked to saving millions of lives and preventing COVID-19 cases. The risk of clots is higher with a COVID-19 infection than with the vaccine.

According to AstraZeneca, how many lives has the vaccine potentially saved worldwide?

What does the new study suggest about the likelihood of blood clots occurring due to COVID infection compared to the vaccine?
