If you were to do a rudimentary conversion of doses administered to people fully vaccinated by dividing the former by two, the percentage rises to 0.00032 percent. The Australian data of seven deaths from 6.8 million doses administered yields 0.0001 percent of doses administered and 0.0002 percent of those fully vaccinated.

Might you be out by an order of magnitude?
Not quite. The second dose rates of TTP is close to 1 in 1 million with fatalities only about 15%. So we are talking 0.00001% at best for 2nd dose.

Myocarditis and pericarditis is about 1/50,000. Interestingly doesn't receive much media attention.
