Norwegian health officials reported three more cases of blood clots or brain hemorrhage in younger people who had received the AstraZeneca Covid-19 blast, but said they couldn’t yet say they were vaccine-related.
The Norwegian Medicines Agency said similar incidents had been reported in other European countries. Although there was no evidence of a link to the vaccine, anyone under 50 who felt unwell and developed large bruises after vaccination should see a doctor.
The World Health Organization said no causal link between the vaccine and blood clotting had been made after Denmark, Norway and Iceland temporarily suspended use of the vaccine on Thursday due to concerns about blood clot development after the sting.
A number of other countries have also suspended the use of single-batch vaccines.
The manufacturer and the European Medicines Watchdog have since insisted that the vaccine is safe.

AstraZeneca’s answer;
According to AstraZeneca, there is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine increases the risk of blood clots
AstraZeneca said a review of the safety records of people vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine found no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots.
An analysis of 17 million people vaccinated in the European Union and the UK found no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots, an AstraZeneca spokesman said on Sunday.
“A careful review of all available safety data on more than 17 million people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in the European Union and the UK found no evidence of an increased risk of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or thrombocytopenia all rolled into one specific age group, gender, batch or in a specific country, “said the company.
“In fact, the reported number of these types of events for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is lower than the number that would have naturally occurred in the unvaccinated population.”

There is significant evidence that Covid-19 infection leads to bleeding disorders in some patients. Hence, there is obvious concern about the claims that the vaccine could cause similar symptoms. From the Heart Research Institute;
People with coronavirus are at risk for blood clots and stroke
There is growing evidence that COVID-19 not only causes severe breathing problems, but also causes blood clotting abnormalities. Patients with severe COVID-19 infection appear to be at greater risk of developing blood clots in their veins and arteries.
…
Recent data from the Netherlands and France suggest that 30-70% of patients with coronavirus admitted to intensive care units (ICU) develop blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or in the lungs.
About every fourth coronavirus patient admitted to the intensive care unit develops a pulmonary embolism.
These rates are much higher than we would normally see in patients requiring ICU admission for reasons other than COVID-19.

What can I say? The risk of side effects from the vaccine, if any, must be weighed against the risk of contracting Covid. Even if there was a risk that AstraZeneca denies, infection with the actual disease would likely be far worse, regardless of what the vaccine does to recipients.
