There's the question of timing too. It's not clear if the number includes all CVST incidences or only those ocurring in a time window after vaccination. (Update: according to NYT these cases are 1-3 weeks after vaccination, so the background rate is too low to matter here). If there is a strong correlation in timing you can not simply use frequency data to rule out causation.

Of course the cases are shortly after vaccination, the data is symptoms reported shortly after vaccination which might be side effects. You're not going to have anyone who got a clot before the vaccine or long afterwards in the dataset, but those cases still did/will exist. There is no evidence yet of a correlation in timing.
