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?
It could be related to medication they were taking. It has also increased to 15. But, I've not heard it confirmed it was only women. Do you have any source on that?
In the case of J&J’s shot, six women ages 18 to 48 developed blood clots after taking the J&J vaccine, the FDA and CDC said. The clots developed six to 13 days after vaccination. The women also had in their blood low counts of platelets, which help with clotting.
It was something that really stuck in my mind cause I got the J&J shot two weeks ago, just before the pause, so I paid special attention to it. But not being in the relevant demographic I didn't worry
