CDC and FDA recommend US pause use of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine over blood clot concerns

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 on Tuesday from Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC and Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

    Literally one in a million (6 cases out of 6.86 million doses according to the article).

    I didn’t stay up to date on how the European Astrazeneca one went (I think it was that one), but it was a very similar scenario and I’m pretty sure they didn’t find it to be too alarming, ultimately.

    That’s not to say an investigation is bad or anything, but I’m guessing it’ll turn out fine/there seems to be very little cause for alarm at the moment

      the shit is that americans are so anti-vax/vax-critical that a 100% success rate would still be questioned.

      1 in a million might as well mean that you will die if you get the vax for these types...
