No, it's only the Ox/AZ vaccine that gives you a blood clot*, the Pfizer one is simply perfectly formed in every way.

*of course, the incidence is lower than would normally be expected but when vaccine nationalism is at stake, there's no room for science

Hmm. All these new variants from different countries, Kent, South Africa, Brazil, now this one. With a bit of luck they'll become nationalists and start attacking each other.

“New French coronavirus variant appears to bypass standard tests

PARIS — French authorities are warning of a new coronavirus variant in the northwestern region of Brittany that escapes detection by standard PCR tests.

While harder to detect, the "initial analyses of this new variant doesn't suggest either increased severity or increased transmissibility," the health ministry said in statement late Monday.

The World Health Organization has placed this new strain in its category of "variant under investigation" due to its bypassing PCR tests. This category includes most of the thousands of variants that occur naturally — of which only a small proportion will pose public health problems — as opposed to the "variant of concern" category, which includes strains found in Brazil, the U.K. and South Africa.”
