First Astrazeneca blood clot in Ireland under investigation

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/medicines-regulator-investigates-first-irish-blood-clot-case-after-astrazeneca-jab-1.4532265

The first Irish case of a very rare blood clot in a person after vaccination with the Covid-19 AstraZeneca vaccine is being investigated in a 40-year-old Dublin woman.

The woman is being treated at the Mater Hospital for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), the blood clot in the brain that EU medicines regulator, the European Medicines Agency, concluded this week was possibly linked to the AstraZeneca jab.

An outbreak in a school caused quite a lot of positive cases, there was far more affected than was announced.

Schools were closed for two months but the numbers of cases were still not low enough to let businesses re-open. That proves that the closures of schools was ineffective.

Ahh ffs. I know it's rare, but the sooner we have good supplies of the alternative vaccines the better. Hopefully by summer.

A good outcome expected for the paitent thankfully.

"She is in recovery and is expected to be discharged from the Mater in the coming days after spending a week in a stroke ward in the hospital."

On the link between vaccine and illness,

“We are following up on this report to obtain additional details and to evaluate if it is consistent with the profile of rare blood clotting events that were the focus of the recently concluded EMA safety review,” said a spokeswoman for the HPRA.

“This report will be notified to the EU’s safety database and will be considered in the context of continuous monitoring co-ordinated by the EMA.”

1. We were told that no such cases had occurred in Ireland but this happened over a week ago and we're only hearing about it now and only because her sister has put it into the public domain.

2. A new up to date age restriction needs to be immediately adopted for the Astrazeneca vaccine. NIAC really need to do their job, stop wasting time and move with the real time data.

So, after all that ‘herd immunity’ chat in the UK early in the pandemic, finally we have......

Still under investigation, blood clots happen every day it could be still a coincidence. Possibility of one case out of how many administered.

Yes, and the BBC and RTÉ haven't noticed that study. What a surprise.

1. Its still under investigation for the cause to see if it is indeed matching the characteristics of the cases reported so far.

2. NIAC have already commented if you read the article

Would love to see when these were considering deaths can be reported up to 3 months after the fact.

Prof Philip Nolan: Situation 'stable', perhaps improving.

Nolan says analysis shows school remain a "low risk setting"

5-day average declining "rapidly" says Nolan.

Nolan says "we're not yet seeing" any increase in cases from Easter weekend - that's a "positive" sign.

I think they said 10 cases out of 429 swabs at airport quarantine so far since March 26th....Would make you think ‘how many other cases came in through the airports’.....

2 in April, 2 in March and 3 in February.
Deaths look a lot nicer (RIP to all of those, of course) when you adjust by date of death, not date of notification.

So what you’re saying is, some imposter is pretending to be Prof Nolan?

Anyone who looks at the daily numbers can tell this.

What is his expertise exactly?

Professor Philip Nolan is the president of Maynooth University since August 2011. He is the chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group since March 2020. He previously served as a medical and surgical intern at St. Vincent's University Hospital from 1991 to 1992, and deputy president of University College Dublin for academic affairs and registrar from 2004 to 2011.
