What people should know about the blood clotting risk.
Firstly, Stephan Moll, MD, professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill: vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT) wants people to understand the fact that no one is certain if the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is responsible for the rare blood clotting incidents.
He also believes you can’t mane an epidemiological study on 15 reported cases, so according to Dr. Moll, it could be coincidental. And even if a connection between the vaccine and the blood clotting cases will be made, he still believes the chances of experiencing this rare condition are extremely low.
Let’s not forget that almost 7 million people received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in the United States, and there are 15 reported cases of blood clots until the present moment. Therefore, the odds of developing blood clots after vaccination are less than one in a million.
