The risk of blood clots
from taking the AstraZeneca vaccine
is, at worst,
1 in 100,000.
The risk of blood clots
from taking birth control pills
is, at best,
30 in 100,000.
The US pulled
AstraZeneca
from use.
14% of American women
took a birth control pill
today.
Why were there
two very different reactions
to the danger of blood clots?
Well, the main reason
is the birth control pill danger
only impacts women
and rules are made mostly
by men.
But it is also because
we are aware of the danger
posed by the AstraZeneca vaccine.
It is new and exciting
and has been extensively covered
by the media.
The other danger has existed
for decades
and the media doesn’t talk about it.
This is true
of both business dangers
and business opportunities
also.
The newest one
gets all the attention.
It doesn’t mean
it is the greatest opportunity
or the gravest danger.
It is merely the newest.
Consider looking at
older opportunities
or dangers.
