I think the chance of blood clots following a Covid-19 vaccine is about 7 per million.
Compare that to the chance of clots during Covid-19 infection, which is about 20%.
Proponents of anti-vax misinformation always try to alarm people about exceedingly rare side effects from vaccines, while dismissing the real dangers of the diseases they prevent. Don’t fall for it. Use a bit of critical thinking and ask what is the motive behind promoting non-scientific nonsense such as anti-vaxxery. Remember, anti-vaxxers have an agenda, and it is NOT to protect people’s health. Quite the opposite, in fact—anti-vaxxery is pushed by those who believe that the human population should be decreased, if not eliminated.
“I think the chance of blood clots following a Covid-19 vaccine is about 7 per million.”
I think the number is far higher, way higher. Enough that is is extremely concerning.
What a crock of shit!!!
(I don’t ever cuss on Free Republic, but I had to make an exception for you.
We can’t be anti vaxers because these aren’t vaccines.
I’m fully vaccinated. Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, smallpox, tetanus.
If they come out with a safe and effective vaccine I’ll consider it.
Now go Pimp you fake Vaccine on the fake news sites.

Just to affirm your numbers, according to the data below, 1 in 5 hospitalised cases had blood clots in their veins along with 31% of those transferred to ICU (UCSanDiegoHealth). Of those clotting, risk of death increased by 74%.
Of note: It is suggested that even mild Covid cases can develop clotting and not know it until there’s a blockage/crisis.
My question is, should people maybe go on low-dose aspirin for a week before and continuing a month after vaccine?
