Yes indeed lol. Everybody should get the jab (s) to end the pandemic!
The vaccine supply was about to meet demand before this. Once that happens, I think we should all go back to normal. Everyone who wants the vaccine will be able to get it. Those who think it will make their sweat glow green can take their chances with COVID.
Millions of lives to be saved in the world by these new technology based vaccines is a major medical breakthrough and miracle. It is a miracle that they came out so soon. Normally vaccines take many more years to create. The mRNA science and technology is breath taking even for many of us in medicine for a long time.
It was not a miracle. It was a politically motivated rush job.
I *think* you might be talking about heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) - is that what you mean?
Yes.
I found the link of what I read:
https://www.biospace.com/article/cdc...r-blood-clots/
The leading theory appears to be an unusual and rare immune response similar to what is called heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), where the immune system makes antibodies to a complex of heparin and a protein known as platelet factor 4 (PF4). This causes platelets to form dangerous clots throughout the body. Some research has identified that patients with the clots had antibodies to PF4.

My spouse had HIT last year.
I just wanted to clarify what you were talking about since you called it a side effect of heparin.
