BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany’s vaccine regulator said on Tuesday it has recorded 31 cases of a rare blood clot in the brain, nine of which resulted in deaths, after people received a COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca.
The Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) said it has now registered 31 cases of clots in the cerebral veins - known as sinus vein thrombosis, or CSVT - and that in 19 of these there was a deficiency of blood platelets or thrombocytepenia.
In nine cases, the affected people died. With the exception of two cases, all reports concerned women between the ages of 20 and 63. The two men were 36 and 57 years old.

I honestly feel that the constant attacks against the AstraZeneca are both political (EU) but also commercial. AstraZeneca are the only company that is selling the vaccine at cost price - they are not profitting. All of the companies behind the other vaccines are making billions (each company).
All the data clearly shows it is a safe vaccine and yet it is being constantly attacked. Any sane person would have to ask why that is.
ETA:
The Pfizer vaccine has actually caused more blood clots but hasn't been banned - and is completely new technology. Wonder why......
