People on my Facebook getting worried as some countries are investigating blood clots that -may- be linked to vaccine.

People seem to be freaking out over tiny risks ATM and that's normal cos human, but I've no idea how to counter it.

Isn't it something like 30 blood clots out of 5 million doses?

I'd be curious to know how that compares to expected prevalence of blood clots in a sample size of five million.

It's already been posted in this thread but what the hell...

Working on the basis of these figures, out of 5 million people getting vaccinated, we would expect significantly more than 5,000 DVTs a year, or at least 100 every week.

Aren't the clots all associated with a single batch? That was how I heard it reported on C4 news a few days ago
