That depends on the country. Norway had four cases of fatal blood clothing in young people which is significant considering only 9 people below 50 died of covid there.

No the point is that there should be on average ~4 people dying of these sorts of fatal blood clotting anyway.

  Not in that age range and in that sample size. Don’t forget that those are not random blood clotting cases but very rare ones.

    Any cause of death is very rare if you get hyper-specific about the details.

      Which is the issue here. An event that should be rare is not rare among AZ vaccinated.

I can't find anything about Norway having 4 fatalities associated with blood clotting. https://www.wsj.com/articles/scientists-say-they-found-cause-of-blood-clotting-linked-to-astrazeneca-vaccine-11616169108 https://www.wsj.com/articles/scientists-say-they-found-cause... >Norway registered three cases of CVST, one of them fatal. The country vaccinated around 120,000 people with the shot. https://sciencenorway.no/covid19/norwegian-experts-say-deadly-blood-clots-were-caused-by-the-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine/1830510 https://sciencenorway.no/covid19/norwegian-experts-say-deadl... >Holme led the work to find out why three health workers under the age of 50 were hospitalized with serious blood clots and low levels of blood platelets after having taken the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine. One of the health workers died on Monday.

  Five admitted younger than 50, three dead. In total has 130 000 Norwegians been vaccinated with Astra Zeneca.

  Like me, GP might be confused, as two deaths from blood clots among five hospitalized for it were reported last week. Then yesterday, as mentioned in sibling's link, two more deaths were reported (as having happened on March 21). This is where the 4 figure is deduced from. I don't know the source of this confusion; it might have disappeared in an editorial decision. But as reported in said link, it is certain that three are now dead and five have been hospitalized. It would be interesting to know why Norway has had such a high incidence of this (presumed) deadly side effect, and why it hasn't been discovered in others. For countries that have a low incidence of covid, a fatality rate like this among younger people makes it a tricky ethical decision, especially if other vaccines will soon be available. My money is on it either being explicitly pulled or sometimes becoming very unpopular in these countries.

It's crazy to say that it is a safe vaccine with those statistics.
