J&J vaccine

Iris L.

J&J vaccine is being investigated regarding blood clot complications in a small number of recipients.  There is a condition called antiphospholipid syndrome aka Hughes Syndrome, that causes mini clots and spontaneous miscarriages.  It is very rare.  I have this condition.  My hypothesis is that some women with this pre-existing syndrome could be susceptible to complications.  I hope that someone who has contacts with J&J vaccine authorities could pass along my hypothesis.

I hope the researchers working with these women are examining all possible etiologies.  Many doctors are unfamiliar with antiphospholipid syndrome.  Mainly rheumatologists seem to know about it.  Thanks for the references, Crushed.
