Scientists believe they have found "the trigger" that leads to extremely rare blood clots after the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.

The team - in Cardiff and the US - have shown in exquisite detail how a protein in the blood is attracted to a key component of the vaccine.

They think this kicks off a chain reaction, involving the immune system, that can culminate in dangerous clots.

The vaccine is thought to have saved about a million lives from Covid.

However, concerns about rare blood clots shaped how the vaccine has been used around the world including an alternative being offered to the under-40s in the UK.

It also started a scientific detective hunt to figure out what was going on and if it could be prevented. The Cardiff team were given emergency government funding to find the answers.

AstraZeneca's own scientists also joined the research project after earlier results from the team were published.

A spokeswoman for AstraZeneca stressed that clots were more likely to occur because of a Covid infection than the vaccine and that the complete explanation for why they occur had not yet been established.

"Although the research is not definitive, it offers interesting insights and AstraZeneca is exploring ways to leverage these findings as part of our efforts to remove this extremely rare side effect," she added.

NAVIGATING TRENDS IN THE MARKET:Live Auction,Short term bubble or Long Run Trend?

Finance weekly What to Look Out for When Trading or Investing For beginner investors, it can be difficult to navigate trends in the market. Which are the short-term bubbles, and what trends are here to stay?      There seems to be a far- wide accepted narrative that ‘normal’ people can’t make money investing. They should simply put their funds into a so-called Robo-generator which will  put their cash into index-tracking passive investment funds. In reality, this type of investing (known as ‘black box’ investing) is being overtaken by new technological advancements that keep on getting better day by day. This investment approach also goes against the unfolding financial technology motives, that are driving the idea of creating a level- playing field for anyone committed and serious to reap it big from trading and investment.
