So, I need to vaccine for the vaccine? IMO this is the biggest issue with Western medicine. We don't go after the actual cause of the issue, instead we treat the issue. Let's figure out why this type of vaccine causes this issue and solve for that.
Sounds like they did, at least are on the right track (from that link) -
"In a paper published in
Blood, scientists from the University of Birmingham funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research and the British Heart Foundation have been able to identify how deadly blood clots, in the disease known as Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis (VITT), occur."
...
"In this latest study, the team used blood taken from healthy donors, as well as serum and plasma from patients with VITT, and have been able to learn for the first time how PF4 was directly involved in the activation of platelets and resulted in thrombotic events. By sticking to a receptor called c-Mpl on the surface of platelets, PF4 triggered the production of the small cells known to cause clotting."
So, unless you're one of the very rare people who have this VITT issue, don't worry about it. I wonder if they can test for that, actually. I've gotten the vaccine (2 shots) along with I think now 3 boosters (skipped one last year when I actually got COVID and I felt like I had the flu for around 4 days so I figured my white blood cells were active enough) and I've had zero blood clotting issues, along with every single person I know who's ever gotten vaccinated/boosted for this. I also know of a few people who died from COVID, unvaccinated, but I think all of them were older (than me at least) so I suppose weak constitutions probably played a part, older people can die from the flu, too.
And they also seem to have a plan for the VITT people -
"Variations on a drug used to treat bone marrow cancers could be developed to protect VITT patients from deadly clotting, the research also found."
There was no problem with Western medicine here, this was a mad scramble to find something to slow down/stop COVID while it was killing millions of people. I would certainly take the risk of possible rare negative side effects vs. the near certainty that getting that virus while unvaccinated would probably put me on a respirator or much worse. If there wasn't a pandemic forcing the issue I'm sure they would have done
way more tests and figured out the weird anomalies like this VITT issue before even considering offering such a vaccine to the public. But the whole world was going through a crisis, a sloppy solution was much better than no solution at all. There have been spikes recently in COVID cases, too, though I think recent variants are less lethal? All things considered, I'm glad that I live in this modern age such that there's a good shot at stopping or minimizing a pandemic using modern medicine, I bet A.I. helps stop the next one cold. Imagine if this had happened a hundred years ago, how many
hundreds of millions of people would have died.
Seriously, if the pharmaceutical companies had refused to manufacture and distribute a vaccine that worked for practically everybody because it was possible that a few people could die from it, while millions of people were dying in crowded hospitals and at home, would you have sided with them for making sure that a small number with this a blood clotting problem wouldn't be put at risk? I wouldn't, I would have been like most people who were demanding faster distribution. Remember those rich people who were flying to different states to cut in line to get the vaccine because at the beginning some areas didn't have it or only offered it to seniors in assisted living or to doctors and nurses?
