I don’t know that is highly irresponsible. Reviewing data will comfort some people. As an example someone was texting me this morning saying their son was worried about getting JNJ at his appointment today. They hadnt yet heard about the pause. There isn’t great answers but I’m fine if the FDA does it’s job and reviews the facts for a few days.
I think this will be viewed as a highly irresponsible act by the FDA. Those odds with these side effects are so miniscule, it isn't worth pausing during a pandemic that is now largely being fueled by a more highly transmissable form of the virus.And you have also given anti-vaxxers another reason to not get the shot.I agree with Nate Silver here.Nate Silver@NateSilver538·10mReplying to @NateSilver538Why did the FDA recommend the pause anyway? Because of a combination of institutional culture, cognitive biases, and bureaucratic imperatives incentives, they greatly overweight the importance of rare adverse effects relative to people dying from COVID.
💯!!!!!! 6 out of over 4 million and they’re putting a pause on it?!?!?!?
There is absolutely no way that in the end this pause is a net-positive for public confidence in the J&J vaccine.
Most people posting in the Chicago Vaccine Hunters group are unhappy with the pause and would get it today if they could.

With 1 in a million cases, they couldn't review this data behind the scenes while continuing to administer vaccines?This is a massive fook up.
As of now, absolutely ANYONE 16 or older can literally walk into the Wisconsin Center and get their shot. No identification; no insurance card. And no questions about anyone's immigration status. 9a - 6p Monday through Saturday8a - 4p SundaysIf you flatlanders can't find somewhere close to home....... take the drive, enjoy campus and grab a bowl of Chili.By July 4th everyone who wants the vaccine will have had ample opportunity. If you haven't availed yourself by then, it's not gonna be my problem. Expect full fledged beer and brat breath from me.https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/2021/04/11/where-get-covid-19-vaccine-appointments-open-wisconsin-center/7183048002/
Having followed biotech and the FDA for ages, this isn't outside their norm - especially for an emergency use situation. If significant side effects (i.e. blood clots, or a significant risk of death) pop up, they'll stop and look at the data to see if they are within statistical norm of blood clots, or the vaccine is increasing risk. They also know there are 2 vaccines available in the US that do not have this issue - so better to proceed with those until facts are known. Especially when most un-vaccinated people can reduce their own risk by limiting contact and wearing masks.The rage is unfounded.
All told, pausing this specific vaccine at this specific time is probably less damaging to the US vaccination efforts than people think. Certainly not a 'non-issue,' but also not the catastrophic development some are making it out to be.
It's funny how much Faux News get some of you all riled up.
Yeah, after reading posts here I oftentimes check the tabloids to connect the dots between talking points.
Mea culpa.Not a law or anything related...at least not yet. I guess you miss the details when you're half-listening to audio news.Anyway, here's the details on a proposed IP waiver. And more interesting info on a US government-held patent that could also change things significantly.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00863-wOf course, big pharma already owns most of the Democratic party, so we know how this is gonna end. Can't risk pharma profits!! (Despite so much of pharma profits being made on the backs of publicly-funded research. Nationalize big pharma!)
Being concerned that this action could increase vaccine hesitancy is a Fox News talking point?I haven't watched that network in years. My issue with the decision comes strictly from a place of getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible, to avoid more needless suffering and death.Might as well call me Tucker Carlson.
