ChAdOx1 interacts with CAR and PF4 with implications for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome

Vaccines derived from chimpanzee adenovirus
As part of the largest vaccination campaign in history,
Ultra rare side effects not seen in phase 3 trials,
including thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)
Adenoviruses deployed as vaccination vectors versus SARS-CoV-2 bind to platelet factor 4 (PF4),
a protein implicated in the pathogenesis of HIT.
heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
Computational simulations to demonstrate an electrostatic interaction mechanism with PF4,
which was confirmed experimentally by surface plasmon resonance.
These data confirm that PF4 is capable of forming stable complexes with clinically relevant adenoviruses,
an important step in unravelling the mechanisms underlying TTS.
Platelet factor 4 (PF4)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platele...
www.nature.com/articles/s4142...
www.sciencedirect.com/topics/...
This chemokine is released from activated platelets during platelet aggregation, and promotes blood coagulation
Also has a role in inflammation and wound repair
Prof Alan Parker, Cardiff University
The adenovirus has an extremely negative surface, and platelet factor four is extremely positive and the two things fit together quite well
What we have is the trigger, but there's a lot of steps that have to happen next
Recent case reports show that most patients presenting with TTS
( more than 90%) tested positive for PF4 antibodies
A ChAdOx1/PF4 complex could induce anti-PF4 autoantibodies.
In this potential mechanism, small quantities of ChAdOx1 enter the blood through minor capillary injuries
caused by the intramuscular injection, as has previously been observed
This proposal goes some way toward explaining why TTS is observed so rarely,
because it may require a series of low frequency stochastic interactions,
first between small numbers of adenovirus particles entering the blood / lymph and then monocytes and / or B cells,
which may only occur in individuals who are predisposed toward the generation of anti-PF4 antibodies.

I'm a new ER nurse with about 6 years experience as an EMT prior to nursing. As EMTs, we couldn't give as many meds as nurses, but a big one we COULD give was epinephrine for allergic reactions. If you inject the concentration of epinephrine into the vein that you do into the muscle, you can kill the patient. For this reason, in my EMT training, I was ALWAYS taught to aspirate. Thankful I learned this as EMS personnel because I'm carrying it forward into my nursing career. Medications go through different routes for reasons, and safety of others is often unestablished. I'm pretty dang sure most patients would rather have a little extra pain than side effects like TTS, DIC, acute hepatic failure, and POTS. Just saying.

Injection route is mainly relevant for the time of resorption in the blood stream. Sympatomimetika given i.v. can kill someone if a certain dose is given too quicky, therefore it's reasonable to give it i.m. for safety, but no wrong if injected directly into the blood vessel and done carefully with no haste in accord with the right dose. If a medication is given s.c. or i.m. it will land in the blood system anyways, it's just a matter of absorption time.

Aspiration story from Ohio USA. Went to Walmart & asked to have my injection aspirated. Was there with an RN who knows this front to back having been trained properly. It became clear that the tech didn't know what we were talking about. When we explained, she told us that she is putting this into a muscle, so there will be no blood vessels there (eyeroll). I'm a pretty cut-to-the-chase person, so I asked her, "will you aspirate this injection anyway? Do you know how?" She admitted she didn't, but asked if I wanted a pharmacist to do it. I said, "Yes, absolutely & was somewhat hopefully we would get proper injections." When i saw the look on the pharmacist's face, I realized it would not happen. I can only assume she thought we were conspiracy nuts. She came into the room & asked us if we would get the injections if they were not aspirated. I said, "Will you aspirate these injections for us? She said, "no" very sternly. I said, "Give us the shots". & as she was leaving, I said loudly "RIDICULOUS". The RN I was with said afterward, "Do you think I should have gone into my training in aspirating IM injections?" I said, "it wouldn't have made any difference at all. These are automatons." I was really angry afterward, but more embarrassed about the state of western medicine. In my opinion, the reasons they won't do this are: 1) Capitalism. It would cost $ to redo an IV injection regardless of how rare. 2) Bureacracy. Policy dictates rather than any critical thinking at all. They were trained improperly & will continue doing it wrong until the end of time. Shame on the CDC for allowing this. & they wonder why people don't trust the government here. Along these lines, I'm reminded of a book I read in Sociology ages ago: The Peter Principle. It was a satirical take on the ineffficiency & incompetence of bureacracies. This book helped me understand life outside the academy more than anything else. One prominent finding: People rise to their levels of incompetence & stay there.

It might take a few more to explain WHY it should be standard practice with the Covid vaccines, but this isn't brain surgery. And you have done an excellent job of breaking down the facts in a way that the average person can understand what is likely going wrong with how these vaccines are being incorrectly administrated. Unfortunately, there is an egotistical trap many highly educated people are prone to fall into. That being the belief that anyone who hasn't received their level of education isn't capable of understanding any of the amassed subjects at all. I believe this is probably why we are being ignored by the "educated idiots," we're peons, and they can't imagine we can contribute anything of value to the conversation.

Dr. Campbell, thank you so much for your informative videos. We went to get our Moderna booster at a local CVS pharmacy in Arizona. Based on what we learned from you about aspiration, I had called the pharmacy beforehand, and they had assured me that they "always aspirate." When we arrived, I mentioned aspiration to the nurse, and she said they are "trained to never aspirate." I told her that it was very important to me that she aspirate. She explained that aspiration can lead to "muscle damage" because there can be "air in there when you pull back" (huh?), and that the chances of hitting a blood vessel were miniscule. I said I would rather take the chance of muscle damage than take the chance of the vaccine going directly into the bloodstream. She said that it was against their protocol to aspirate, and that if there was any muscle damage, it could come back on her. I told her I would be willing to sign a waiver to prevent that. She relented, agreed to aspirate based on our verbal understanding that I would not complain if there was any muscle damage, and I watched her actually aspirate before completing the injection. My wife then went through the exact same discussion with the same nurse, and got her to aspirate as well. The nurse claimed that we were the very first to ask her to aspirate. Other than typical after-effects, we are fine, and as far as we can tell, our muscles are undamaged. Is potential muscle damage an actual potential consequence of aspiration? Even if it is, I think we made the right choice between the two risks.

I asked the nurse to aspirate, at first she said she didn’t understand what I meant, I went on to explain what it meant and she said oh that’s old practice and we don’t do it that way anymore! I stood my ground and told her that my second Jab (given by my dr) was aspirated at my request (didn’t know about it when I had my first AZ jab) and that I wanted the booster aspirated too. She agreed to do it that way after disappearing outside (I think to speak to someone). It’s amazing how one minute she didn’t understand me and the next she was able to do it with no problem at all. To be honest I think the fact that I seemed to know what I was talking about made her go and check with someone, I can thank you for that Dr John as I have listened to you explain it many times 😬 personally I think it’s all about saving vaccines and not wasting them, what do you think?

[@nicholasward8358]

This video is misleading. There are no major blood vessels in the lateral deltoid that an IM injection would go into. Aspirating causes unnecessary trauma to the muscle, and breaks unnecessary capillaries. Which causes more blood. Blood clots, which means aspirating increases the risk of hematomas, embolisms, infective endocarditis, etc. There's a reason why evidence based practice suggests to NOT aspirate, and has done so for years.

[@smithical100]

Their argument against this is asinine. What was it? Something like " We don't want to cause unnecessary pain or bruising".

[@DouglasJMark]

Thank-you Dr. Campbell!!! About aspiration: I got my booster yesterday, Moderna (1/2 dose) after 2 Pfizers earlier here in Canada. I'm a GP and I've had a Hx of cardiac arrhythmia from the drug sulfasalazine years ago and thought it'd be nice to ask for aspiration. I was lucky that the healthcare provider was also a family doctor maybe about age 50 who works more in in education dealing with complex patients with addiction and mental health. When I asked about aspiration, he acknowledged he was trained to do so at first and that we don't do it any more. But, he was perfectly happy to aspirate and did so with no trouble. He mentioned from the supply trouble that the current batch of needles are not very good, rather dull in fact that requires more force and causes more discomfort (aka patient complaints). But, I mentioned duller needles might not cut into the muscle as much and trigger bleeding that might cause the vaccine to enter into the blood more readily. This reminds me of the different types of suturing (stitching) needles used in surgery, 'cutting" and "non-cutting". "Cutting" needle sutures have a triangular-shape with sharp edges behind the point are used for the the skin to essentially cut though more easily. But, if "cutting" needles were used internally, then they'd slice up the typically delicate internal tissues that can cause sutures to tear though and fail holding tissue together. In contrast, "non-cutting" suture needle come without sharp edges, round from the point back, much like a common pin used in sewing, no cutting = less damage. injection needles typically are thin tubes sliced obliquely at the tip. They do cut through the skin and slice into the muscle leaving little damage. But, maybe the ideal injection needle would come to sharp point and have a 'side port' for the liquid to flow through into the tissue. The end result is less trauma and bleeding and less chance for the injection entering the circulation quickly. Hmmm... this type of needle exists at least for dentists doing root canals: pac-dent.com/products/optiprobe-needle-tips. Summing up, I'm happy to have had my vaccine given with aspiration (and no metallic taste). Congrats if you got to the end of my thoughts!

Dear Dr Campbell, I'm South African and had a very strong reaction when I suggested the needle should be aspirated when speaking to a qualified nursing sister who gives the vaccination to others. She said, "NO, IT IS NOT NECESSARY ! I attended an 8-session online course (each session being 3 hours long) on the vaccine and there was no mention of any need to aspirate the needle !" Strong reaction. I felt I'd made a highly offensive and ridiculous suggestion.

So are we at a point where people with less than a week of training are giving injections? Not even in person training with a real instructor. Face it, if it was safe to inject this yourself, they would be sending it to each persons home and not using nurses.

Sorry you had to deal with that reaction. It shouldn’t be difficult for them to do. I don’t understand why they can’t simply pull back the needle to see if blood flashes before they push it in. It’s all there is to it. Any IV drug user could do it, so surely “medical professionals” can!! 😞

I have friends who have been trained to vaccinate. I’ve passed on this information about aspirating the needle and they will not consider it. It makes me very cross! When I had my booster I asked the vaccinator to aspirate and he agreed. He told me he was an ex dentist and he’d been trained to do it that way. I took my (then) pregnant daughter along reluctantly for her shot and asked them to aspirate, but they refused and plunged it in quickly before I could object. On balance I am glad she was vaccinated, because I think bring the vaccination reduced her risk factor whilst pregnant of catching covid but furious they wouldn’t take this precaution.

However, Intramuscular injections like vaccines, NEED to be IN the muscle and NOT the vein, so you absolutely NEED to check for the presence of blood in all injections, just for opposite necessities. Keep up the Great work you are doing, you've been correct all along! The world needs to hear more and we need more people like yourself.

On the same day you published this video Health Canada published their official guide for clinicians. And I quote "Aspiration prior to injection of ********* is not recommended, as there are no large blood vessels at the recommended immunization sites and not aspirating before injection has been demonstrated to reduce pain." It seems they are more interested in reducing possible pain from the procedure than potential serious long-term debilitating side effects.

[@nicholasward8358]

This video is misleading. There are no major blood vessels in the lateral deltoid that an IM injection would go into. Aspirating causes unnecessary trauma to the muscle, and breaks unnecessary capillaries. Which causes more blood. Blood clots, which means aspirating increases the risk of hematomas, embolisms, infective endocarditis, etc. There's a reason why evidence based practice suggests to NOT aspirate, and has done so for years.

[@colinwilson3913]

My polite request to have this done was refused this afternoon and I therefore declined the jab. The nurse knew what I meant but said she couldn’t stray from her instructions.

[@nonacee5065]

My first shot the doctor refused to aspirate because it's no longer taught or required thanks to WHO that changed the protocols since needles are finer than they were 40 years ago. I was disgusted as an old trained nurse. My second shot the next young doctor shrugged and said "if that's what you want it doesn't bother me" and proceeded to do it. Well done young man. I'm in Tasmania. They were both doctors from the medical practice I attend. I would never ask for an appointment with the first woman but the young man on the second shot I would happily see again. Prior to this I'd rung around different government clinics and pharmacies, mentioned aspirating, they all said "no they don't do it or aren't trained to do it". My frustration was palpable over the line since I'd usually ended up saying that "a 1 second withdraw of the plunger couldn't possibly be that difficult". Hence my first shot ended up not aspirated. This finding on aspiration is not new to any old school nurse or doctor but for those who've suffered the vaccine injury in the last year, what a terrible waste and shame. For one second extra care it would have been a different story.

I was all set to argue the second time that it's not a clinical reason, but seems more of a question of skill. My doc just cut out the need for argument. He then did it so smoothly it was obviously from muscle memory. Even if aspiration makes zero difference, until it's conclusively known, it just seems irresponsible to my lay thinking to not aspirate. 🤷

Here’s what Nursing Times says for IM injections … “The procedure for IM injection has been discussed widely in the literature but there are concerns that nurses are still performing outdated and ritualistic practice relating to site selection, aspirating back on the syringe (Greenway, 2014) and skin cleansing.” “Aspiration to check whether the needle is in a blood vessel is not usually necessary (PHE, 2013). Aspiration is only required when the DG site is used, which is not recommended (Greenway, 2014; Malkin, 2008).” In other words, your doctor inflicted extra unnecessary pain on you, using a type of syringe known to be less safe instead of using the modern non-aspirate-able and disposable AD syringes used nearly everywhere since 2003.
