Interesting research and hypotheses on Adenovirus vector vaccines causing thrombosis. Might also be relevant for safety of Janssen J&J & Sputnik vaccine.

Anti-Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) antibody seems not involved in #VITT - previously named #VIPIT.

0 / 5 patients in Norway had been infected - making infection an unlikely cause of VITT.
Preprint suggesting a HIT-like mechanism for rare thromboses in some AZ vaccinees is out now.
Important for scientists to discuss the data.
For everyone else, not used to reading case reports: This sounds scary, but remember that this is very very rare.

And story from @GretchenVogel1 and me that tries to put this in context as much as we can right now is here:

For the past two weeks, my colleague @GretchenVogel1 and I have been trying to understand what researchers know so far about the rare cases of serious blood clotting observed in people that got the AstraZeneca #covid19 vaccine.
Our story is up here:

@GretchenVogel1 I believe that this is an important story but it is also a complicated one, that is easy to misconstrue. So before you comment or share, please read the whole piece or at least the thread that I‘m gonna attempt later, after I finally get some lunch…

@GretchenVogel1 Okay, let’s do this. Let’s start with caveats:
This is ongoing research. There is a lot we don’t know yet. But as in all things #covid19 we're rapidly learning more.
The paper by Greinacher and others has been submitted to a preprint server but not yet published or peer-reviewed.

🚨🚨🚨 @COVIDSciOntario Science Brief and layperson’s guide for vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (aka. VIPIT) following AstraZeneca #COVID19 #vaccination. Read the 🧵! 1/n
AZ #COVID19 #vaccine appears to be associated with immune thrombosis that mimics heparin induced thrombocytopenia. It’s rare: 1/125K to 1/1 mill @EMA_News @uni_greifswald @PEI_Germany 2/n
