The Covid vaccine caused a rare blood clot that scientists believe may have been triggered.
A group of researchers from the US and Wales believe that the coronaviruses genetic material can be shuttled into cells by the adenoviruses used in the vaccine.
Researchers think that this may cause a chain reaction in the immune system that can lead to the development of blood clot.
Vt only happens in extremely rare cases because a chain of complex events needs to take place.
Our data shows that the mechanism underlying VITT is related to the binding of PF4 to adenoviruses. This disorder could be prevented and treated with a mechanism.
We hope our findings can be used to better understand the rare side effects of these new vaccines and potentially to design new and improved vaccines to turn the tide on this global pandemic.
The research was published in a journal.
The research is not definitive and the company is exploring ways to use it in their efforts to remove the side effect.
