A 57-year-old man, died in March of a violent blood clot in his brain, about a week after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine against covid-19.
It writes BT
The man’s older brother tells the newspaper that his younger brother had an unusually low platelet count.
The Capital Region of Denmark confirms to BT that it has reported the death to the Danish Medicines Agency “as a possible side effect of AstraZeneca vaccination”.
The Danish Medicines Agency refuses to confirm or deny reporting, on the grounds that the information is personally identifiable.
AstraZeneca vaccination has officially only been linked to one death in Denmark.
It was a 60-year-old woman who had a series of blood clots at the same time as she had a very low platelet count.
The blood clots combined with a low number of platelets have since been recognized as an official side effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is why it is no longer used in Denmark.
The Danish health authorities estimate that approximately 1 in 40,000 vaccinated people will experience this type of side effect.
