On Monday, June 21, researchers from the Institute of Hematology at
Shamir Medical Center in central Israel announced that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine can cause thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), an autoimmune disease that affects the blood.
TTP most commonly attacks small blood vessels around the body by causing blood clots (thrombi) to form. These clots can cause serious health problems if they fully block the vessels and restrict blood flow to the body’s organs such as the kidneys, heart and brain. (Related: Pfizer vaccine linked to heart inflammation in young men, Israeli experts conclude.)
The researchers from Shamir Medical were alerted to the problem after seeing a surge in TTP cases. Before the coronavirus pandemic, medical institutions in Israel would only detect a handful of cases per year. Now, health experts are seeing many cases every month.

Here we are, almost halfway through 2021. Weâve spent the past year getting used to a new-normal and doing everything virtually. Virtual school, virtual meetings, virtual happy hours, virtual parties, virtual family reunions, virtual baby showers, virtual weddings and virtual conferences.
So ⦠many ⦠virtual conferences ..
Virtual has been a tremendous way to stay engaged and get our jobs done while keeping people safe. It has also opened a world of accessibility and inclusion that hadn t existed before. The technology advancements have been equally exciting. Case in point, my BFF Jeff Teper announced that Microsoft Teams has hit 145,000,000 daily active users! That is a LOT of virtual.
