US calls for pause on Johnson & Johnson vaccine (CNN)

[ItsjustMe]

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Food and Drug Administration are recommending that the United States pause the use of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine over six reported US cases of a "rare and severe" type of blood clot. The six reported cases were among more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine administered in the United States. All six cases occurred among women ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination, according to a joint statement from the CDC and FDA. Dr. Carlos Del Rio and CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta discuss the announcement.

1. This is so bad. Low information takeaway we be "the vaccine causes blood clots."

2. 1 in a million people probably get blood clots without any vaccine

this is very rare

3. Foul Words and Vivid Swearing!

I’d FINALLY managed to make an appointment for my first vaccination on Thursday morning and then this c**p happens.

I’m of a certain age and I am tired of this half-life. I’d like to take my chances.

4. My 25 year old got the J&J last week. I hear you. Such a relief when they boys got theirs. I hope

they keep moving on.

And you describe it well, half life.

5. There have been 12 problems out of the 1-2 million that got the J&J vaccine

Probably, there wound be 12 people who get blood clots without taking a vaccine.
