(CNN) The risk of dying from Covid-19 is 40 times the risk of developing a rare blood clotting condition after getting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, a CNN analysis shows. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday it has received reports of 28 people who have developed a rare blood clotting syndrome out of 8.7 million given J&J's Janssen coronavirus vaccine. Three of them have died from the condition, known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). In a group of about 8.7 million people, that scales to nearly 59,000 new Covid-19 cases reported in the past two months and nearly 1,150 new Covid-19 deaths, more than 40 times the number of reported and confirmed cases of TTS. The chances that a person vaccinated with the J&J vaccine will develop TTS are less than one in 300,000, according to CDC data.
