I completely agree with what you are saying, but wanted to point out that the risk of a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis blood clot risk is something like 4 in 1 million, but there are other kinds of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, etc).
During J&J FDA trials of 20k people there were 50% more blood clots of other various types in the vaccinated group [0] (15 blood clots in vaccinated group versus 10 in the placebo group, which the FDA did not consider statistically significant at the time).
It might not be fair to compare J&J cerebral venous sinus thrombosis blood clots only to blood clots of any type from birth control pills.
