Do remember that this expert is the person the premier Norwegian hospital picked as their spokesman for their press conference on this. So in essence what he says is the opinion of the Norwegian health care system, not just his own, about these cases. This isn't some random expert, giving an of the cuff opinion.

hes a clotting expert, not a COVID expert. So of course he sees clots everywhere. Are you sure he's the spokesman, or just making this claim as an independent researcher. There is nothing in the two articles I read saying this is an official position of the hospital.

Yes I'm definitely sure he is speaking for the hospital, and that he was speaking at the hospitals press conference. This has been all over the news here in Norway, every news outlet treat this as legit, and from the hospital / government.

acknowledged. I did some more searching and found several articles where the hospital seemed directly involved.

and while I'm sure that a cancer expert has a tendency to see cancer more than your average guy, I'd still rely on a cancer expert for an opinion on cancer

this is a weird take. A clotting expert is supposed to comment on clotting issues, that this is a covid vaccine isn't even really relevant.

Correct, it’s irrelevant what type of medicine it is. But of course there should be a huge warning in the PIL and the patients should be able to read it.

Why do you say that? Yes it is relevant. The vaccine has caused multiple cases of patients with blood clots. Some have been fatal.

Analysis of these patienta and their clots by a clotting experts is highly relevant.

But that's what I come to HN for.
