Abstract in brief

  • VITT (Vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia) is a rare but serious condition that occurs after COVID-19 vaccination, especially with adenovirus vector vaccines, involving low platelet counts and blood clots, mainly in unusual sites like the brain and abdomen.
  • It is caused by antibodies that target platelet factor 4 (PF4) and activate platelets, leading to clot formation, but the exact reasons why these antibodies develop are still being researched.
  • Managing VITT involves using non-heparin blood thinners, intravenous immunoglobulin, and in severe cases, plasma exchange, with improved awareness and treatment methods reducing its risk and severity.]

I tried to warn y’all!

@WATCHMEBURNDOW1 @Storiesofinjury It is not “exceedingly rare”, but can be very serious. Research and find a doctor that won’t blow you off. Try checking out the FLCCC website for treating doctors, most treat AEs too. Take care! https://t.co/0MdYcQjqSP
