If there’s an actual risk of blood clot problems, we should see something similar reported in the UK, given the millions of doses they already used.
We don’t see any similar reports coming from the UK. The opposite seems true (BBC).
Is the UK hiding this kind of news? I doubt.
Are there problem only outside of the UK? If this is the case, “the story” might actually be some handling/logistic problem in the vaccines production/transportation/storage in other countries that turns some batches bad.
If this is the case we should see higher % of problems where the batches are mishandled. I could not find numbers about this, it looks like at the first problem some countries are halting the distribution of entire batches.
A clearer smoking gun would be multiple people having blood clots problems after receiving doses from the same batch. The size of the batch would help estimate how unlikely that event is.
Italy halted ABV5811 and ABV2856, but unfortunately I could not find how big these batches actually are. If you have any idea I’d be glad to know.
I’d feel completely safe to get a vaccine in the UK. In lack of the specific batch information, I’d feel safe outside of the UK too.

I’ve found a post from EMA claiming:
but still no signal on how big is the batch single countries get.
