> If everyone in the US were vaccinated, the number of blood clots would be around the same as the number of injuries from being struck by lightening. Yes, and if no-one in the US was vaccinated against COVID-19, then the number of blood clots would be higher than that. Why? because it seems that the risk of blood clods after getting COVID-19 is higher than after getting vaccinated https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3886421 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3886421 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589537021003412 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258953702... As an argument against vaccination, "but blood clots" falls flat. I mean, even after cherry-picking this one specific harm and systematically ignoring all others, it still fails to be a valid point.

  Data never speaks for itself. In this case, openvaers has chosen to massage raw data in a misleading fashion. The VAERS dataset vendors explicitly warn against doing exactly what openvaers is doing because of the likelihood of drawing false conclusions. https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html
