Measurements are real, not guess work.

We have pretty accurate statistics for the numbers killed by Covid as a
percentage, and those killed by blood clots after having the vaccine.
Even
allowing for the fact that they may or may not have had that clot without
the vaccine.

Indeed, and when the risk of being killed by covid is several orders of
magnitude greater than being killed by a clot, it really ought not be that
difficult to decided which option carries least overall risk.

But the other option is to have the Pfizer which works better
and which has far less risk of that very rare blood clot problem.
