Clinical people I'd love your opinions on this - the paper seems to imply that the serious blood clots post-Astrazeneca vaccines could be due to the vaccines being injected intravenously rather than intramuscularly https://twitter.com/andrewwhiteau/status/1412232838599135234 …

(Note - I'm not saying this is true, not my area of expertise so I'd note that this is a preprint and it looks quite uncertain)

If true i wanna hit some nurses or whoever applied those jabs

I imagine there's also bleeding disorders that would cause even a proper intramuscular jab to "leak" into the bloodstream un-macrophaged? The issues were statistically extremely rare, so it could be a few factors intersecting.

wow that is massive - surely its too good to be true? when is a vaccine ever administered IV?
-
So, I'm not a clinician but from my understanding it's basically a technique issue - you can accidentally hit a vein when giving the injection. This might be relatively rare, which would explain why it isn't a very common side-effect

Lots of other things to establish epidemiologically, like background rate of accidental IVI in deltoid. Haven't read the paper so maybe they address that.

Haven’t read this but it it’s IV that’s the problem, why only/mainly young adult female? Or is that the risk group iffffff there’s accidental IV admin?

Why hasn't this been a problem with the mRNA vaccines?

Certainly in Uk the Nurses were used in clinics to assess while the volunteers etc had rigorous injection technique training. I’d be shocked if there was any truth in this.
