I think a lot of folks are making the mistake of realising that inaction is action. To not vaccinate is an action, and one that carries its own risks.

This is the source article, with likely a lot more information: https://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/i/QmwR1V/professor-om-mi...
Interesting, and very concerning if it's true. I was given my first shot of the AZ vaccine on Monday afternoon, so I was aware of the reports of blood clots at the time although only in outline. I just don't understand how come the same reaction hasn't been seen in the millions of people vaccinated with AZ outside Norway (edit - it has been, thanks for the info, none of the articles I've come across properly explaine…
Covid itself causes blood clots.
The solution here has been to administer aspirin to Covid patients.
So the solution for the AstraZeneca vaccine should be the same. Vaccinate people, give them some aspirin over two weeks, just in case.

If only the same standard were applied to all statements about Covid.
There is absolutely not enough evidence from this particular doctor to justify the claim. It's irresponsible to publish this.
So the evidence is definitely not from only „this particular doctor“, but from a group of experts on the matter.

In this situation it's not that much of a dilemma, though. It's not as if those prone to blood clots are not at risk until they're given the vaccine, everyone is at risk from COVID and the blood clot prone maybe even more so. And the sheer number of people it will benefit means the choice is simple.
> very concerning if it's true
Little known fact: women's birth control pills also have a higher risk of blood clot. Always have. If that risk is considered to be acceptable then I don't see any reason why this isn't either.
Astra Zeneca says it's less than 40 cases in 17 million. Are those numbers accurate? That seems like quite a small population affected.
