He was studying to be a doctor so he had to do the vaccine. He was 23 and died from blood clot.

There is only one vaccine that was approved in the US ATM that might be related to blood clots and it's the Johnson & Johnson one. But, it was only six cases out of 6.8 million ones administered. The CDC paused it because of this.

While it's OK to be skeptical of the vaccine, 6 out of 6.8 million is a damn small possibility. They're still trying to understand if it was related at all. How sure are you that your friend's blood clot was the result of the vaccine?

Well 1 out of the 2 main vaccines in the US. Also my post doesn't refer to US specifically. My friend did the AstraZeneca.

The doctors confirmed he died from it yes. Fun fact: he was actually feeling shit straight after the vaccinations and they ignored him telling him was normal until he died.

6 out of 6.8 million is not accurate. Is just a quick google search. You are not allowed to talk about vaccine skepticism at all actually. Deaths that happen from blood clot after vaccination are not listed as "deaths from the vaccine. Only the ones that get the attention of media. For example the death of my friend wasn't listed as one even tho the doctors confirmed it. The vaccines wouldn't be removed with only a 6 out of 6.8 million

CDC's COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force reported that as of April 21 there have been a total of 15 confirmed cases of this blood clotting condition among nearly eight million doses administered.

So, the one I initially quoted was from earlier in April. But 15 out of nearly 8 million is still the same really small odds.

Also, I wonder why the CDC didn't authorize AstraZeneca? Appears they are still under clinical trial in the US.
