I agree with your numbers above. But wondered about factoring the below into these calculations [0]:
> During Johnson & Johnson's clinical trial, there were reports of other types of blood clots, too. Some are relatively common, such as deep vein thrombosis, so it wasn't surprising that among roughly 20,000 participants who received the vaccine, some would experience those clots.
> What made FDA scientists take note, however, is that in the trial, about the same number of people received a placebo -- a shot of saline that does nothing -- as received the vaccine. However, when comparing the two groups, more study participants developed clots after receiving the vaccine than the placebo.
> Calling it a "slight numerical imbalance," the FDA noted that there were 15 events in 14 participants who received the vaccine, compared to 10 events in 10 participants who received the placebo.
I think the 6 in 7 million people are the serious and unusual blood clots, but would not include the +50% increase in blood clots of any type noted above. However I appreciate that you did include the extra data about 100,000 people dying per blood clots per year.
I also like to pay attention to the numbers for this stuff. I was scheduled for a J&J shot today, which was cancelled. It wasn't my first vaccine choice. I'll be trying to get an appointment for one of the other vaccines, I guess.
