There likely is a causal link just like with the AZ/Oxford vaccine since both use adenovirus vectors, but the risk is specifically contained to one demographic. These clots are on average far more serious than the ones associated with birth control so it's a question of tradeoff of risk to very specific demographics.

COVID is certainly still more deadly even to the 18-48 demographic of women, but it's less of a difference than with other demographics. I really hope they can resolve this and resume before the end of the week with updated guidelines and just give a different vaccine to anyone for whom there's a contraindication. Also hopefully with more specificity than "all women under 50."
