This article [0] mentions 50% more blood clots observed during vaccine trials, which at the time was characterized as a slight numerical imbalance (15 blood clots versus 10 in the placebo group, in a trial of 20k people)

The 6 cases out of 7 million would appear to be the most serious/unusual/cerebral blood clots, but that number does not include all blood clots.

I don't mean to advocate against the vaccine with these numbers, just add data. I see the 6 out of 7 million number batted around a lot and that's not a complete picture.
