> Nations that are overcautious may lose far, far, far, far more lives thanks to covid infections than an extremely rare handful of blood clots which haven't even been tied concretely to the vaccine yet. The risk reward analysis on this topic has been really bizarre so far.

You seem to suggest risk-reward analysis be viewed at by the number of deaths.

Germany had to suspend vaccination (temporarily) due to legal reasons and risk of a lawsuit to the state.

Actually talking about the risk reward analysis in the media and general commentary reaction to the AZ vaccine rather than by nations. Think it's perfectly reasonable for nations to conduct safety checks and research on new vaccines
