ASU researchers may have found cause of blood clots after AstraZeneca COVID vaccine - ABC15 Arizona

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Scientists from Arizona State University and the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale may have found the cause of blood clots in people who received the COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca.

In those rare instances, scientists said the protein is then attacked by antibodies and that can cause the blood to clot.

Experts said the chances of someone getting a blood clot from the vaccine are one in 250,000 and the chances of dying from that blood clot are one in a million.
