Could German researchers have found a link between Astra and blood clots?

Researchers in Germany say they’ve identified what could be behind the reports of blood clotting in people who have had the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine.

The German team – in yet to be released pre-print research – say that the vaccine could in rare circumstances cause an autoimmune reaction that leads to clots.

The findings have yet to be peer reviewed, but the team says people who are likely to be affected could be identified if they are at higher risk by a screening test.

So on today’s Coronacast, a rundown of the findings that could offer a reason for the reported blood clotting issues.
