How is 1:25000 4x higher than 1:10000? Isn't it 2.5x less likely? I guess the parent is referring to this piece of data: 8-12 cases per 100,000 doses.

The 1:10000 number is reported by Australia, for young men only, during the first 7 days, characterized as higher than the average. The 1:25000 number is from the study on the general population.

Indeed and the context is vaccination for high school kids. I mean, if they are observing some outliers maybe that should be investigated first rather than brushed aside?

The 1:10000 number is not from this study. The highest number in this study was 1:100,000.
