astrazeneca admite por primera vez que su vacuna contra la covid-19 puede provocar efectos secundarios como la trombosis

La compañía farmacéutica AstraZeneca ha admitido por primera vez, en documentos oficiales, que su vacuna contra la covid-19 puede provocar efectos adversos poco comunes como la trombosis.

Así lo ha adelantado el diario The Telegraph, que también hace hincapié en que la empresa se enfrenta a una demanda colectiva por la que podría llegar a pagar una indemnización de hasta 100 millones de libras, ya que existen varios casos de muertes y lesiones graves.

El citado medio explica que, entre los 51 casos presentados por los abogados de la denuncia, se encuentra el de un padre de familia de Reino Unido que quedó con una lesión cerebral permanente después de desarrollar un coágulo de sangre y una hemorragia en el cerebro en abril de 2021.

La compañía, por su parte, impugna estas afirmaciones pero ha reconocido, en un documento legal presentado ante el Tribunal Superior de Reino Unido en febrero, que su vacuna “puede, en casos muy raros, causar trombosis”.

En una carta de respuesta enviada en mayo de 2023, AstraZeneca dijo a los abogados que no aceptaban que la trombosis fuese una consecuencia de la vacuna “a nivel general”, pero en el documento legal presentado ante el Tribunal Superior en febrero, AstraZeneca admite que “la vacuna puede, en casos muy raros, causar trombosis. Se desconoce el mecanismo causal”.

Los abogados de la acusación, por su parte, mantienen que le fármaco contra la covid-19 es “defectuoso” y que, en su momento, se “exageró” su eficacia.
