    What about AstraZeneca? At first everyone was suggesting it was just baseline levels of blood clots in population that led to the panic. Now there talk the vaccine actually causing clots albeit in very rare cases? What about Pfizer and Sputnik?

      can't speak on any of those haven't been following international vaccine news at all tbh. But here maybe this will help clear things up, as I said it was extremely rare, and yes we don't even know for sure if it's the vaccine, they are just taking extreme measures just in case right now:

      they investigated six reports of blood clots in women ages 18 to 48. One has died, and a second is hospitalized in critical condition.

      As of Monday, 6.8 million people in the United States had received the vaccine without any other serious adverse reactions reported.

      Experts have yet to determine to what extent, if any, the vaccine is responsible for the clots. But the investigation follows actions by European regulators who concluded that a vaccine made by AstraZeneca may also be the cause of a similar, extremely rare clotting disorder.
