Definitive findings: Only the vector vaccines alone are responsible for the severe prothrombotic side effect vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT)
At the beginning of last year, a VITT team led by Professor Dr. Andreas Greinacher from the Universitätsmedizin Greifswald, Germany, identified the cause of rare cerebral vein sinus thrombosis after Covid-19 vaccination with the vector vaccine of AstraZeneca. The team developed a laboratory test for detection and a treatment option for VITT.
