And how many blood clot type events do we see in covid patients?

almost 20% cumulative incidence in those hospitalized (20-30% of reported cases), i.e. roughly 5%?

What’s the typical threshold for a vaccine vs a medication , though, since they are given to already healthy people? 1 in 230,000 is obviously quite low, and the risk of covid (and clotting with covid) vastly higher or course, but I’m wondering how this compares to other vaccines

That's misleading. What if it's a bad batch and currently it's 1 in 1,000 getting blood clots? We should evaluate current doses/day and clots/day and compare that to equivalent population size and clots/day. If there is significant variance could be a bad batch of vaccines.

This comparison is not correct though as it assumes the ones affected are certain to get COVID-19. In reality, they would receive a different vaccine, just somewhat later.

If there were another vaccine available. That’s the problem. Europe is short on vaccines. How long do you wait?

Agree, perhaps also worth noting that - as far as I understand - the blot clots observed seem to resemble heparin induced blot knots that are a known side effect to this drug (that is frequently being prescribed despite the low risk of thrombosis)

in Australia, where there is little/no virus in community, the individual could reason the vaccine is currently the greater risk. But Sooner or later the virus will arrive. If everyone waits to jump in the vaccination queue, that queue will be too long to offer vaccine in time.

And that more people in the placebo group had blood clots than those who had the vaccine.

The details are a bit more complicated than than, the over all reasoning still lands in the same place, as
