I find so many of my British friends who are attacking the NHS-of-Germany (for being overly political in this scenario) while totally missing the point that British NHS could be doing exactly the same thing at the same time.

That being said a lot of Europeans who would come to the UK would be appalled by the quality of NHS compared to other European countries.

So I would argue that I would trust what German NHS says more than the British one.

Where did I mention the NHS? I'm referring to the government downplaying the impact of the vaccine. Which could be true, because millions of people got the vaccine and only a few had the clot issue. But I would rather believe the german version on this.

Why do you believe there's a link to blood-clotting, and not to, say, broken dishwashers?

People (especially on HN) like to say "correlation doesn't equal causation", but there isn't even a correlation here. There are not higher rates of blood clots.
