Re: Coronavirus

Even if it were as high as 5 per million you're not factoring in the likelihood of it happening within X (MHRA haven't gone public with this) days of vaccination among a subset vaccinated between the start of January and March 23 (or whatever the cutoff the MHRA still use).

The cohort size hasn't permanently been 18 million - it's rising over time so analysis is more complicated.

You're also conflating blood clots in general with the rare type being seen here. If there is evidence that, linked with the contraceptive pill or other medication, the risk is higher than a vaccination programme by consent has to be open and transparent about what the risks are. Not wrap them up in a Union Flag and blame the dastardly EU.
