“There is no evident connection between the two events.” – or maybe it’s just not a connection that you want to admit might exist?
In the UK, more than 2000 people die each year from a pulmonary embolism (I don’t have to hand the French stats, but the figure is likely to be fairly similar). To try to create, in this case, with no medical evidence being here presented, a connection with a recent vaccination is poor science. A fair number of people are also known to have suffered, sadly, a fatal road traffic accident in the days after receiving a Covid vaccination too. Should we blame the vaccination for those RTAs as well?
Two days after my first jab my printer broke down. That cannot be a coincidence. It was an astra zeneca.

Possibly because you failed to insert an Oxford comma?
I´m sure, she has been quite careless over the last weeks.
“To try to create, in this case, with no medical evidence being here presented, a connection with a recent vaccination is poor science.” Agreed.
Will authorities try to see if there is a connection?
Don’t hold your breath…
Er…they will since that is what is required for all medicines.
But for anyone who is “high risk” and hasn’t had the virus, you would be crazy not to take the vaccine since the risks from Covid are going to be a great deal higher than the possible risk from the vaccine.
You are badly informed. They lie all the time.
Here is an article on how the CDC is manipulating data to prop up vaccine effectiveness…

It is very rare but there is a mechanism, a fall in platelet numbers which results in blood clotting. I believe all known cases have followed the first dose.
This article only refers to the AstraZeneca vaccine, not available in the US.
The incidence is about the same for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/blood-clots-as-prevalent-with-pfizer-and-moderna-vaccine-as-with-astrazenecas-report-2021-04-15
I have had two friends in their 60s get PEs, both were lucky enough to get to the doctor before things got critical, neither one had theirs after their first Covid dose, although one had it diagnosed more than a month after his second dose. He was hospitalized for four days following his diagnosis, the other person not hospitalized at all. After being on blood thinner they both recovered well. Both were in good general health for their age. If left untreated, it can definitely be a killer. And sometimes blood thinner is not enough, surgery may be necessary to relieve the condition. Extreme fatigue and shortness of breath are the symptoms. Pay attention, see the doc sooner than later.
