This question is all over the internet, why suddenly the topic of vaccinations taken 3 years back has come out, because all the people who have taken Covishield are afraid of getting a heart attack, is there really anything to be afraid of, are there any side effects of taking Covishield, etc. We need to talk about things because panic has started in many people.
What is Covishield Vaccine ?
1st, many of us should know about this covishield vaccine, and we should know clearly about this vaccine controversy that is going on, this covishield vaccine is made in our India (Article) by Serum Institute of India. (SII) They, if not their formula is not theirs, its actual name is Vaxzervria vaccine, it is made by an UK based company AstraZeneca which worked along side with oxford for this, then Serum institute took their formula to prepare the vaccine doses in mass, and named it Covishield , this vaccine is widely distributed in India as it was easy to store when compared to other vaccines available .
Panic on Covishield
Suddenly in UK high court (Article) these AstraZeneca have directly admitted in a letter that there is a chance of getting rare blood clot disorder called TTS from their vaccine, but why did they come so suddenly and admit about these side effects in the court? It has not started now, since covishield was made, there have been many law suits on it, it should be clarified whether it is safe or not, and there are many complaints about its side effects and at that time (Article) France, Latvia, Germany, 12+ countries like Italy and Spain have banned it, which means that it should not be used, but at that time, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that there are no professionals that such things can happen to those who have taken this vaccine, and they said that it is safe, but the cases are still going on. They say that their people are dying because of side effects .
Jamie Scott sue on AstraZeneca
one of those cases is an IT professional named Jamie Scott, he also took this covishield like everyone else in the UK and 10 days after taking it, he suddenly could not speak , (Article. ) and started vomiting, his family took him to hospital, after the diagnosis doctors informed them that , there is a blood clot where the blood from brain drains and there is also brain hemorrhage after the surgeries he was in coma for almost a month and then after the recovery also he was unable to perform fully in his day to day activities and was unable to take care of his two boys as well so the family went to court on the demand of justice should be done to him and said that vaccine a is the cause of TTS , but many times these AstraZeneca people said that it is not ours.
Covishield causes TTS
Finally after many months AstraZeneca admitted that there is a chance of getting TTS after using there vaccine, tts means Thrombosis Thrombocytopenia Syndrome, which means blood Clots can occur anywhere in our blood vessels, Platelets count falls. (Article) What are the symptoms of TTS, severe headaches come and they keep coming more frequently, vision becomes blurred, breathing becomes difficult, chest pains, legs swelling, regular pain in the stomach , and even if something small is touched anywhere to our body burses will appear and small blood spots are seen inside the skin mostly near the area where the shot is taken.
Risk of taking Covishield
Yes the AstraZeneca admitted that there is a chance of this TTS, but they say that it occurs in very rare conditions, how rare in numbers is still unknown ,and it also mentioned that not everyone who got the vaccination will get TTS , very few people have a chance to get it and (Article. ) that to within 4-42 days after taking the shot , so there is no need to panic as of know , only if you feel any of these symptoms, go and get checked, the governments and the company should work together to find a solution for this , or at least they should come forward to give an assurance to public that there is no need for panic.
