That is an incidence of less than 1 per million. Nothing is without some risk but the risk of the vaccines appear to be much less than the risk of getting COVID.
Tuck, maybe you should look at other conspiracy theories like the poles shifting, Planet X or extraterrestrial visitors. The vaccines appear safe and effective.

I have to agree with this post, except, I think they changed it to just recommend it to hold off but I think they can still give it? It's been very confusingly all day to be honest... But definitely, if you are a female between 18-38 I would hold off on this vaccine until they can find out how to treat this particular clot..
While, it is only 6 people, it's an odd clot, and it doesn't respond to heparin, and that is concerning... So, I understand, the CDC, wanting to compare links between J& J and Astra Zeneca...
I was in the medical field for 20 years but I UNDERSTAND and support those that are not comfortable with getting any of the vaccines...it's your body...
I have a disorder that puts me at risk and the best vaccine for me was the J&J vaccine... I got it on Monday 4-12-2021... I will say that I had very few side effects... I was a bit dizzy after the shot, that went away fairly quickly, 4 hours later after a nice lunch with my best friend and running some errands, I was INSANELY tired..
I took a 4 hour nap.... Woke up and ate a light evening snack and rehydrated and took my evening meds and crashed again...
Woke up, 9 hours with a VERY MILD HEADACHE... Took Tylenol, zyrtec and pataday eye drops and had a cup of coffee in case the headache was allergy related due to Oak levels in the air... Headache was gone w/in the hour...
Went to Physical therapy... Had a great day and came home and rested...checked in with the CDC VUSAFE... The pharmacist had me sign up before my shot and the cdc is checking up those of us that have signed up on a daily basis... It's a quick and plainly survey.
I'm not sure if this is helping anyone.. But, that has been my experience, since Monday at 1:00 pm and I was quiet anxious about getting the vaccine.
Most of the fatigue was gone in 24 hours, dizziness within a few hours after shot and the headache within a few hours as well... The only other thing I had was a bit of GI discomfort... But that only lasted a few hours...
No fever, body aches, sore arm, itching at site, nausea, etc for me...
Hope this helps... I'm just one person....
Good luck to everyone on whatever you decide what works best for you and your family...
Your affectionate slave,
Guinevere ❤️
