> This is a real-life example of the runaway railcar switch dilemma. The train car is heading towards a crowd of millions of people and will plough through the middle of them killing many hundreds, or you can throw the switch and divert the railcar so it hits a handful of people prone to the blood clot reaction.
In this situation it's not that much of a dilemma, though. It's not as if those prone to blood clots are not at risk until they're given the vaccine, everyone is at risk from COVID and the blood clot prone maybe even more so. And the sheer number of people it will benefit means the choice is simple.
> very concerning if it's true
Little known fact: women's birth control pills also have a higher risk of blood clot. Always have. If that risk is considered to be acceptable then I don't see any reason why this isn't either.
