Those numbers appear lower than the baseline prevalence of venous thrombosis in the general population [1]. Maybe the vaccine is protective?

No seriously. The estimated prevalence of venous thrombosis in the United States is 1:1000. The reported numbers of VTE after the vaccine would be normal in the general population. I am an emergency physician and I diagnose and manage PE and DVT several times per week. To me this seems much ado about nothing.
