Michelle Barlow suffered blood clots, but was initially diagnosed with gastroenteritis, an inquest hears.

Her multiple organ failure caused by the blood clots was as a result of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, a condition not recognised at the time of her death, the inquest heard.

Giving his conclusion, Mr Brennand said he could not say whether Mrs Barlow would have lived if doctors had recognised sooner that she was having a bad reaction to the vaccine. However, he said there may have been some "sub-optimal care" and "confirmation bias" among medics in persisting with their initial wrong diagnosis.Outside court Ian Barlow called for a judicial review into the vaccine rollout and said he felt "relief" that the vaccine's role in his wife's death had been recognised.He said he was "happy and sad" because though she was not here, his wife "got the answers to what we wanted".
