There's lots of other things to compare it to as well. It's a roughly 1 in a million chance of dying - which is called a Micromort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

We 'spend' about one micromort of risk per day of being alive. Or you can spend one walking for 6 hours, or driving 250 miles (or 6 miles on a motorbike)
I just made a website to show all the other stuff we do all the time without worrying with the same (extremely low) level of risk

- graeme 6y agoLess, no? 1/million is the risk so far of clots, not of death.
- jonplackett 6y agoThere's about 1/250,000 risk of clots, but they are treatable. In the UK there's been 19 people die after ~20 million vaccinations.
- graeme 6y agoThat’s assuming J and J has same incidence as AZ. J and J so far has had 6 clots for seven million doses. Of course some more may show up in coming days from prior vaccinations.
- jonplackett 6y agoAh yes, that is true! This site is based on AZ, but you're right it might be a different story with J+J. I wonder if as well, they'll get better at spotting the blood clots and treating which could also be happening - but that's just conjecture / hopeful thinking at this point.
- rsynnott 6y agoOne caution here; at least with AZ, apparent rate of clots varied dramatically by country, and rates generally went up once people knew what they were looking for. It's plausible that a lot of early ones were missed entirely or misattributed.
- mikem170 6y agoThat's 6 unusual/dangerous cerebral clots per 7 million doses, not all blood clots. There were 50% more clots of any types in the vaccine trials of 20k people [0] (15 blood clots in vaccinated group versus 10 in the placebo group).

- hellohiyesokay 6y agoYour link only has IPv6 records but the www. subdomain has IPv4.
- jonplackett 6y agoHey. What will that mean exactly? DNS is through Cloudflare using their magical CNAME pointer. Can you access OK?
- jrockway 6y agoI see IPv4 A records. I am guessing what's happening is that when you look up the DNS over IPv6, it gives you AAAA records instead of A records. Or, it can depend on locality. Cloudflare is not a DNS provider that gives the same answer to everyone -- its goal is to direct traffic to the cache that's closest to the end user. Edit: I looked into it more and I can get IPv6 and IPv4 DNS servers to serve me both A and AAAA records. The site is now down, however :)
- jonplackett 6y agoThanks for checking. Much appreciated. Yeah I banked too much on Cloudflare... I've ramped up its dyno a bit now too. Hopefully that'll keep it up!
- hellohiyesokay 6y agoAt the time, the non-www subdomain only had IPv6 and I'm not running dual stack. They now look identical.
- hellohiyesokay 6y agoIt meant that anyone not using IPv6 or a dual stack provider wouldn't be able to view the site through the non-www domain. However, they look identical now, so you're good.
- ravedave5 6y agoOk I really need your stat on canoeing. "That’s much less risky than going canoeing "
