Shared information: A disinformation video was released on Facebook in the United States when Dan Bongino, a radio host with a history of spreading fake news about COVID-19 vaccines, Claims in a video clip published on December 11, 2022 that there are exceptions for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. in the united states People with a history of blood clots were not included. This makes compulsory vaccination dangerous. Conclusion : 1. People with a history of blood clots can receive the COVID-19 vaccine because the symptoms of blood clots from vaccines or VITT are different from general blood clots. 2. There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine The risk increases for people with a history of blood clots more than the general population. FACT CHECK : Check the facts : The clip is taken from The Dan Bongino Show, which first aired on January 25, 2022. The content of the show refers t o a panel discussion on the dangers of COVID-19 vaccines. It was organized by Senator Ron Johnson along with anti-vaccine groups including Robert Malone, Peter McCullagh, Ryan Cole and Pierre Cory. The content of the event was full of false information about the COVID-19 vaccine. Both claiming that People infected with COVID-19 Asymptomatic people will not spread the virus to others. Natural environment will not cause people who have been infected with COVID-19. The infection came back again, and drugs like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin can be used to treat COVID-19 patients. The video clip from the seminar garnered over 4.5 million views on the Rumble website. On the show, Dan Bongino claimed that certain people should be exempt from COVID-19 vaccinations. Especially those with a history of blood clots. People with a history of blood clots can choose to get other types of vaccinations instead. Concerns about thromboembolism with the COVID-19 vaccine Starting in April 2021, when public health agencies around the world Warning of a link between thrombosis and low platelets and the use of the Adenovirus Vector COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson, or a condition known as Vaccine-induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia, or VITT, which can be life-threatening. However, Sant-Rin Pasricha and Paul Monagle, two haematologists commented on The Conversation website that VITT symptoms are very unlikely to occur. It is also a symptom that is different from other blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. which often has factors from daily routine Such as smoking or not moving for a long time, called sedentary behavior. VITT is a symptom of blood clots that occur as a result of an abnormal immune response. and directly affects platelets Leads to aggregation and becomes a blood clot. Currently, there are many studies confirming that History of general thromboembolism Does not increase the risk of getting sick with VITT symptoms. However, in many countries, including th e United States, United Kingdom and Australia It is recommended that people with a history of blood clots in the brain and abdomen, Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) and Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) avoid using the Adenovirus Vector vaccine. (Antiphospholipid Syndrome is a type of autoimmune disorder. Causes the body to make antibodies to proteins that prevent blood clotting. This results in blood clotting in various areas including the brain, lungs, kidneys, and legs. Patients will experience headaches, memory problems, balance, vision, and dementia. Including the problem of miscarriage or the problem of the baby dying in the womb. Currently, the cause of the symptoms has not been found and there is still a cure. The treatment approach is to use drugs to relieve symptoms or reduce the risk of blood clotting.) (Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is an adverse reaction from the use of Heparin, causing arteriosclerosis from blood clots along with easy bleeding) Therefore, the claim that patients with a history of blood clots should not be vaccinated is not true. Because there is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine Increases the risk for this group of patients. In addition, among patients whose doctors do not recommend the Adenovirus Vector vaccine, they can also receive the mRNA vaccine, which is not associated with VITT symptoms. And in cases where the vaccine recipient has an allergic reaction to a compound in the mRNA vaccine or has restrictions on using the mRNA vaccine, the recipient can still use the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson and Johnson instead. In addition, COVID-19 infection It also increases the risk of blood clots even more than vaccination. Especially patients with a history of thromboembolism, cardiovascular risk, diabetes, and other risks. The North American Thrombosis Forum also recommends that patients with a history of blood clots get vaccinated for COVID-19. Source: Thai News Agency
