I guess I wasn't being specific - good correction. Reporting medical side effects can easily lag with new treatments, especially when we're not sure what we're looking for. I suspect that, as soon as we start looking for blood clotting post-vaccine, then you'll find more cases that may have not been caught otherwise due to their not being severe enough to be noticed.

This exact thing happened with the AstraZeneca vaccine, which works very similarly to J&J. The EMA is now recognizing thrombocytopenia (not the same fatal issue but possibly related) as a "common" side effect, i.e. somewhere between 1 in 10 to 1 in 100. https://twitter.com/HamidMerchant/status/1381797044495466504 https://twitter.com/HamidMerchant/status/1381797044495466504
