my hat off to the scientists behind this very remarkable work.

so you can't get the clotting without that IGLV3-21*02 gene. now the interesting question here is that, with current tech, is it possible to manufacture very affordable (e.g. cost comparable to those COVID antigen test kits) rapid test kits that can detect such positive IGLV3-21*02 gene. some false positive level is fine, false negative must be very low.

surely people in low income countries who only have access to the AZ vaccine can benefit from such tests if affordable test kits can be made available to local healthcare workers administrating the vaccination.
