Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) is a new syndrome which has been reported after being given the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (AZ jab). It may be caused by this vaccine. The condition involves blood clots (occurring in body sites like the brain or abdomen) together with low platelet levels.
Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot, which prevents blood flowing normally through the body. While thrombosis is usually a normal response to prevent bleeding (e.g. following injury), in this case this process is abnormal.
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which you have a low blood platelet count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries.

What isn't being talked about?
Let's do some quick maths!
From 22 Feb to 25 April (a little over 2 months), 1,093,738 AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine doses.
Remember, doses are not people!
So, we.know vaccines got off to a low start and increased over time. Let's say, being lenient and for simplicity ....293,738 people had their second AZ jab and 800,000 people had their first AZ jab....
In approx, 800,000 unique individuals that were either partially or fully vaccinated with the AZ jab, there have been 163 reports of blood disorders and 11 cases of TTS...
