According to The Telegraph, AstraZeneca has acknowledged that its vaccine, originally known as Covishield, may lead to uncommon side effects such as blood clots and decreased blood platelet levels.
This acknowledgement followed a class action lawsuit in the UK alleging that the vaccine was responsible for fatalities and significant harm, with claims seeking damages totaling up to £100m on behalf of approximately 50 affected individuals.
“It is admitted that the AZ vaccine can, in very rare cases, cause TTS. The causal mechanism is not known,” AstraZeneca said in court documents in February, the newspaper reported.
TTS, short for Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome, manifests as blood clots alongside diminished blood platelet levels in humans. AstraZeneca’s vaccine, a product of collaboration between Oxford University and the Serum Institute of India, saw widespread use in more than 150 nations, including the UK and India.
Initially hailed for its purported effectiveness of 60 to 80 percent against the novel coronavirus, subsequent investigations revealed its potential to trigger life-threatening blood clotting issues in some recipients.
This revelation starkly contrasted AstraZeneca’s previous stance in 2023, when it adamantly denied any connection between the vaccine and TTS.
The World Health Organization echoed concerns about the vaccine’s adverse effects, acknowledging rare instances of Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome, marked by severe and uncommon blood clotting events alongside reduced platelet counts, occurring post-vaccination.

The 65th Ordinary Session of the Authority is holding at the Presidential Villa in Abuja where he is expected to pass on the torch to another leader.
The Military leaders of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso rule out returning to ECOWAS even as President Bola Tinubu leads Heads of State of the 15-member bloc in a Summit in Abuja to persuade them to return.
“Westerners consider that we belong to them and our wealth also belongs to them. They think that they are the ones who must continue to tell us what is good for our states. This era is gone forever; our resources will remain for us and our populations,”
says Burkina Faso’s leader, Capt. Ibrahim Traoré.
“”Our people have irrevocably turned their back on ECOWAS,” Niger’s General Abdourahamane Tiani says.
“The attack on one of us will be an attack on all the other members,” insists Mali’s leader, Col. Assimi Goïta.
The trio signed a confederation treaty on Saturday, underscoring their determination to chart a joint course and exit the bloc which is urging them to return to democratic rule.

Governor Sanwo-Olu Receives Prince Harry & Meghan Markle (Photos)
![](https://lagoslately.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/18373315_1715541884533_jpeg6c702f98294f41f5795a8c7619e208bc.jpeg)
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, received the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, on Sunday.
The British Royal couple was received by Governor Sanwo-Olu; his wife, Dr. Ibijoke, and some members of the State Executive Council during a courtesy visit at Lagos House, Marina.
Prince Harry, accompanied by his wife, Meghan, is on a three-day visit to Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014. The couples had a stopover in Lagos on Sunday.
The Invictus Games are aimed at raising funds and supporting serving members of the military as well as veterans to overcome their physical and mental illness or injuries, which would help them to develop a sense of belonging and increased self-esteem.
Speaking to journalists after a closed door meeting with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Governor Sanwo-Olu praised the British Royal couple for the work they are doing with Nigeria’s military men, especially on issues around mental health.
He said: “We are honoured to receive them (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) at the Lagos House, Marina. We are excited about the ideas and what they are planning to do, especially with the office of the Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa, and his wife, Mrs. Lilian Musa.
“For Prince Harry, it has been a very interesting and informative trip to the country. He has seen a lot. And part of the things we are hoping he will take away is the diversity and extent of how big our country is, how we continue to ensure that we live together in peace and harmony, and what role Lagos plays in the whole conversation.
“They have been to Kano, Abuja, and now Lagos. I am sure they have their own experience of what Nigeria looks like. We have extended an additional invitation to them that they can always come back when they want to.
“We are indeed happy for what they are doing, especially for our military men, on the conversation around mental health issues and how they can galvanise their various NGOs to ensure that people who require their support, both in the military and private, can seek that support.
“Mental health issues are all around us. Denial and stigmatisation, are some of the things we talked about. And more importantly, at what point in Nigeria can we have the Invictus Games that Prince Harry is known for so that the true Nigerian competitiveness can also be reflected in those games”
