Public Service Announcement: #CovidVaccines will not cause blood clotting disorders
Shocking, I know. You can pretty much stop reading now, but below are a few utterly pointless tweets refuting some utterly pointless scaremongering

There’s another ‘open letter’ circulating. I wasn’t going to address it and give it oxygen, but @BallouxFrancois convinced me it was worth it. Not linking it though. It’s pseudo-intellectual drivel in 7 points, with a grating repetition of ‘if such evidence is not available...’
Point 1 is about ‘gene-based’ vaccines leaking into the bloodstream and getting incorporated into random endothelial cells. They refer to a paper specifically on mRNA vaccines, so this is apparently what they’re primarily worried about
The truth is that after intramuscular injection, dendritic cells and monocytes take up the lipid nanoparticles carrying the mRNA and virtually none of it goes to the bloodstream. Here’s one of many relevant papers (by the founder of BioNTech) nature.com/articles/s4158…
The rest of the letter is also high-grade horse manure, but I honestly can’t be bothered to debunk it since the whole edifice collapses at point 1 of 7 and I have better things to do
You might say: 'But wait! Countries X, Y, Z have paused the vaccine rollout!'
All I can say is: you've known your whole life that politicians are incompetent, fickle, and barely intelligent enough to vote yes or no as instructed, and you're taking medical advice from them now?

One final point: the authors mention the Nuremberg code. Please ignore anyone who does so. As anyone in (bio)medical research knows, the relevant framework for medical trials is the Declaration of Helsinki. Doesn’t have the Third Reich association and shock value though
Final final point: the document is meant to frighten, not inform or change policy. The references aren't even formatted, and the credentialism in the signatures is ridiculous (no one in science gives a crap what your Bachelor's degree was about).
