Did Queen guitarist Brian May just suffer a stroke from the COVID-19 vaccine?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Brian May suffered a stroke from COVID-19 vaccine!
Right after Brian May revealed that he suffered a minor stroke a week ago, some people immediately suggested that the Queen guitarist may have been injured by the COVID-19 vaccine.
The People’s Voice : Queen Guitarist Brian May, Who Promoted Covid Vaccines During Pandemic, Unable To Use Arm Following Stroke
Fully vaccinated and boosted Queen guitarist Brian May, who promoted the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines during the pandemic, has revealed he suffered a stroke earlier this week leaving him unable to use his arm.
Like many other vaccinated celebrities, he had news to share about a sudden and unexpected medical emergency.

Truth : Brian May did not suffer a stroke from COVID-19 vaccine!
It is now tradition for anti-vaccine activists to immediately blame all injuries or deaths on the COVID-19 vaccines.
Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news about the COVID-19 vaccines…
Fact #1 : Brian May suffered from a minor stroke
On 27 August 2024, Sir Brian May (born Brian Harold May on 19 July 1947) mentioned that he suffered “a small health hiccup“, which forced him to miss his wife’s performance at the Albert Hall the night before.
On Wednesday, 4 September 2024, the Queen guitarist finally revealed that he had suffered a minor stroke, and was taken to Frimley Hospital in an ambulance.
That little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago and what they called it was a minor stroke.
All of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn’t have any control over this arm, so it was a little scary, I have to say.
Notably, Brian May was not diagnosed with Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) – a rare side effect of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
Fact #2 : Brian May temporarily lost control of his arm
Brian May revealed that he suddenly lost control of his left arm. That is not one of the symptoms of TTS. May also said that he was now fine, and can play the guitar again with full control of his left arm.
The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days.

Fact #3 : TTS occurs soon after AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination
It is simply impossible for Brian May to suffer a blood clot from the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, because it would have occurred within days or weeks.
TTS, which is also known as Vaccine-induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT), occurs soon after a person receives the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, and has a very specific diagnostic criteria:
- Received the vaccine 4 to 42 days prior to symptom onset
- Any venous or arterial blood clot (often cerebral or abdominal)
- Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) of less than 150 x 109/L
- Test positive for PF4 heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
- Markedly elevated D-dimer (> 4x the upper limit of normal)
Now, we obviously do not have Brian May’s medical report, and we don’t know whether he actually received the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (instead of a different COVID-19 vaccine).
But we do know that the UK government stopped using the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in winter 2021. So even if Brian May received the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, it wouldn’t have caused TTS / VITT some 3 years later!
Fact #4 : COVID-19 blood clot risk is much higher
What you may not know is that COVID-19 infections greatly increases the risk of developing blood clots – up to 41% in positive patients, and up to 95% in severe COVID-19 cases.
Blood clots can also develop (through different mechanisms) with smoking and the use of oral contraceptive pills (OCP). Back in May 2021, we created this table to better demonstrate the risk:
| Risk | Difference | |
| Thrombocytopenia in severe COVID-19 cases |
Up to 95% | 45,238X |
| Thrombocytopenia in COVID-19 cases |
Up to 41% | 19,524X |
| Dying from COVID-19 Infection | 0.25% to 10% |
119X to 4762X |
| Thrombosis from OCP (Adult) |
Up to 0.46% | 219X |
| Thrombosis from Smoking | 0.18% | 85.7X |
| Thrombosis from OCP (Adolescents) |
Up to 0.01% | 4.8X |
| Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (AstraZeneca Vaccine) |
0.0021% | Baseline |
