Both it and the CCP vaccine have come under fire lately for safety reasons. Multiple countries (Austria, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Norway among others) have suspended or restricted its use. In contrast, Pfizer had Tiffany Dover and more news in January, I believe.
Probably there are cases all over, all the time, that don't come to our attention for various reasons, including potential media suppression. The WHO is still supporting them, of course:
“Yes, we should continue using the AstraZeneca vaccine,” WHO’s spokeswoman Margaret Harris said on Friday. “There is no indication to not use it.”
What does this all means? Who knows. Anecdotes themselves are statistically low in terms of medical risk, and vaccines can trigger preexisting conditions despite it being a real concern, but similarly, we don't know the long-term effects because this is obviously an emergency vaccine, rather than one that has gone through a rigorous and extended (e.g. 5+ years) trial, so we can't dismiss it as a statistical anomaly either.
