Rare but deadly blood clots tied to Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca Plc’s Covid-19 shots were caused by an autoimmune reaction that some people are predisposed to, researchers found, a discovery that they say will shape development of future vaccines.

Adenovirus-based vaccines, like the J&J and AstraZeneca shots that were later pulled from the market, contain a component that, in genetically susceptible people, can trigger the production of unusually structured antibodies against a protein involved in blood clotting, scientists said Wednesday in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine.

After an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people in late April, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, over an alleged attempt to alter the results of the 2020 presidential election, prosecutors in the state have tried for weeks to serve Donald Trump's former bug-eyed attorney with notice of his indictment.
George Conway turned directly to the camera and addressed Donald Trump about why he will not testify in his election interference trial.
Trump's lawyers indicated they haven't made a decision about his testimony, but as Conway pointed out, he'd be shredded in about 3 minutes because, as one of Trump's prior lawyers pointed out, "he's an effing liar."
Conway also reminded viewers that he doesn't listen to his lawyers, instead making his own poor decisions about how the trial should go, which is why the cross-examination of Stormy Daniels was such a failure.
"If he doesn't testify, it's not going to be because he all of a sudden decided to follow legal advice," Conway asserted.
