They know I am susceptible to blood clots so surely they are aware that Pfizer is less likely to clot my blood!....

Ah cool mate, I understand bit more now not that I'm an expert mind you.
Sorry about your outcome re the lung wish you the best.
My brother has been suffering from Pulmonary Edema @ 58yrs.
Diagnosed pre covid Dec 19, fluid in the lungs (he's fit as a mallee bull non smoker hardly a drink and fitness freak) hospitilised for weeks and has had fluid drained countless times and huge concerns re clotting.
In the meantime he was also on blood thinners, after much going back and forth with specialists last few months the only way he was going to get the jab was being weened off the blood thinners FYI.......
and Pfizer was the only one recommended.
He had his jab just last week.
Follow up about the thinners mate, I'd say thats the big question.
Good luck !
