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 between the 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.
"CDC will convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on Wednesday to further review these cases and assess their potential significance," the statement said. "FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases. Until that process is complete, we are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution. This is important, in part, to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan for proper recognition and management due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot." For people who have received the Johnson & Johnson shot, those who have developed severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination should contact their health care provider, according to the statement. The statement also noted that these adverse events "appear to be extremely rare."

"It's a very rare event. You're talking about 1 per million, and when you give millions of doses of vaccines, you will see events like this that you couldn't see in the clinical trial just because you didn't have millions of people enrolled," Dr. Carlos del Rio, executive associate dean of the Emory University School of Medicine at Grady Health System, told CNN's John Berman and Poppy Harlow on Tuesday morning. "But I want to congratulate the CDC and the FDA for very quickly jumping on it, halting the vaccinations until we know more, and really trying to understand what's going on," del Rio said. "I think vaccine safety has always been a priority -- and I think this is exactly the right move until we understand what's going on and what's the way forward."

Funny how people were scared of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccines because they were using new technology and yet they're the safest vaccines right now. J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines are having issues with blood clots >_>

So basically, the same thing people have been saying about actually dying from covid? Not that Im against the vaccine, but you cant blame people for being cautious about getting it.

I actually just read the article, 6 cases of severe blood clots over 6 million doses? Don't you have a greater chance of dying driving to the damn event than having severe blood clots because of the vaccine?

I got the Moderna and felt like shit the day after my 2nd dose. Chills, loss of appetite, headache/soreness, low energy. I spent most of the day in bed. I was a lot better the 3rd day though.

Pretty much. I'm fine with transparency in stuff like this, but man. This is being really cautious and is going to fuel some anti vax sentiments

The only way I can make sense of this as some sort of public health initiative to try to assuage vaccine hesitancy by appearing ultra careful. Boy, this shit is going to backfire if that's the case.

This is not concerning at all, so I can't see any other reason as to why they would halt use of J&J.

this. the fear is overblown. vaccines have most serious side effects but it's ultra rare to have it happen.
more likely to end up with fatigue and a headache more than having blood clots show up.

it's lottery odd's but with health.

The odds of removing the risk of a severe case of covid far, far outweigh the odds of a blood clot

Something similar happened with the AZ vaccine, where early reports about clotting issues resulted in tanking the public's opinion of it across Europe.

Moderna has a higher incidence of side effects than the Pfizer vaccine

Same people who have spent a year downplaying covid because you have something like a 0.1-1% of dying from it are now going to say 1 in 1,000,000 is too big a risk.

Don't even get me started on the rates of issues with birth control. :/ It's all good and well when others are at risk, but when it might hurt them they suddenly are super careful.
