Off the top of my head, it could easily be the case that we still need to rule out that the groups getting the vaccine are already more prone to blood clots. In particular, I seem to remember some talk about Covid infections leading to blood clots, and many of the early vaccinations have been given to folks most likely to be exposed to Covid. We’ve also seen that “asymptomatic” (referring specifically to the symptoms of cough, fever, & anosmia) Covid seems to be really common in the group of all infections.
It’s not much of a stretch to guess that—if the blood clot problem turns out to be real—it may be at least partly because of those “asymptomatic” infections among the groups we’ve targeted for early vaccination specifically because they are more likely to be exposed (and therefore more likely to have already been infected without knowing) than other groups.
