Those "clots" in question are strange to say the least. They are not "blood clots" like we generally think of. They are a platelet clot, a "white clot" by description. Seems there is an antibody reaction against platelets. Some platelets disappear, other are coated with antibodies, forming these "soft, white clots", sometimes found in the brain. It is reportedly a rare occurrence, but I guess it's 100% when it happens to you or your loved one.
It's strange that the J&J vaccine would be causing more issues than the newer class of messenger RNA vaccines. J&J is one of the more conventional vaccines, more of the old style of vaccine manufacture.
This whole COVID thing is weird. The pneumonia that COVID victims die of is not histologically what one would expect to see from a viral pneumonia, but from an inflammatory pneumonia. It's from the cytokine storm that takes these folks out. It's the inflammatory, antibody stuff that does the damage.
With similar vaccines for other viral diseases, such as Dengue Fever that was rampant in Cuba, the concern about Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) has been a concern. Google that one for an explanation. Seems the vaccine sets up the victim for a more severe disease, especially from a variant. They say this has not happened with the COVID vaccines, but has been a concern.
