But that will cause another dung storm for the anti vaxers and conspiracy theorists to come out and say that the vaccine is not perfected and requires additional support.

The thing that is concerning the health officials is the type of blood clot it is. Apparently the cases have been giving people clots in the head area (although I think the one in Vic was in the stomach?), where as flight DVT is in your legs.
The vaccine clot is apparently an extremely rare type. One thing I don't get is the low platelet counts that go with it. I thought low platelet count means blood doesn't clot? I dunno, too confused, all I know is there is enough uncertainty to warrant more investigation.
