Some anti baby pills cause 8-12 trombose cases in 10,000 women. And they are properly tested, approved and on the market.

Usually I don't read notes coming with meds, but I am almost sure that even everyday stuff has potentially deadly side effects in the ball park number of the blood cloths AZ is causing.

They're called contraceptives or birth control pills :-)

Yes, some drugs have pretty nasty side effects, but vaccines are rather special, because their acceptance affects the entire society and vaccine safety is a sensitive topic, especially in a climate of skepticism. Undermining the idea of vaccine safety will be much worse than Covid (at least at this time).

And there would probably be an investigation into that the moment people using them showed up growing a third arm instead of getting a trombose.
