It has only been a few months. The idea that this is enough time to

You need to appreciate relative risk. The risk of getting a blood
clot complication from an mRNA vaccine is far lower than the risk of
getting a serious/fatal case of COVID. Besides, please define your
criterion for "enough time"; and how is 0/150,000,000 an unsafe track
record?

There is risk in everything. I have also mentioned that clots are a
common risk killing more people than breast cancer. One nearly did me
in over 20 years ago and had to be surgically removed. The surgeon told
me his father died from a clot.

Covid itself presents a higher clot risk than the vaccine and apparently
are common so if he wants to get his clots from covid that is his choice.
However, his choice is severely endangering all immunocompromised
people, those who were vaccinated but failed to get an adequate immune
response, and all those who also are unvaccinated for various medical,
logistical, and perverse reasons. Actually, unvaccinated people place
everyone at risk because every additional infection increases the risk
of a new mutant variety that may be resistant to the existing vaccines
and the unvaccinated are far more likely to become infected than almost
all of us who are presently fully vaccinated.

The right-wing version of personal responsibility. If those people wanted
to live, they shouldn't have become immunocompromised or whatever their
problem is. /s
