As low as two or as high a five per million that means, using 18million as a stake in the ground, but obviously the vaccinated number will go up, that you would expect to see anywhere between 36 - 90 cases, in that cohort of 18 million naturally.

The uneven distribution by age, sex, presumably is making it even more noteworthy.

As Chris pointed out some weeks ago, it seems to be young women affected mostly. A section most likely to take contraception pills, that also cause blood clots as a side affect.

That is not correct

In the U.S., a Miami physician died following complications of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) after his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. ITP is a rare autoimmune condition in which the body generates autoantibodies to its own platelets, resulting in low platelet counts, blood clots, and bleeding if the platelet count drops very low. About 50,000 adults are diagnosed with ITP in the U.S. per year. Risk is increased in young women and people with other autoimmune conditions.
In a case series, James Bussel, MD, and colleagues reviewed 20 reports of thrombocytopenia after receipt of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. Bussel is professor emeritus of pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City who has published extensively on ITP. His group found that 17 of these patients did not have pre-existing thrombocytopenia. Patients' median age was 41 and 11 were women.
"It is not surprising that 17 possible de novo cases would be detected among the well over 20 million people who have received at least one dose of these two vaccines in the United States as of February

More investigations are required but I would think it is still too early to put a causal link to these issues at the hands of the vaccines.
