The blood clots have been limited to women, and 15 cases out of 8 million doses is extremely small. That is 1 in every 533,333 for all people, but a greater chance for women of course. No doubt it will scare a lot of people though, especially women. But to put it in perspective, scientist say you have a 1 in 15,300 chance of being struck by lighting during your lifetime if you live to be 80 years old. Thus it is 35 times more likely you will get struck by lightning in an 80 year lifetime than develop blood clots after taking the J&J vaccine. Plus they don’t even know whether the clots are even related to the J&J vaccine.
