I'm 40 and female - I would have happily taken JNJ and AZ vaccines if offered. The math on this is not hard.
1 in a million chance of a clotting disorder post-vax for JNJ. 4 in a million chance for AZ.
225 in a million chance of death from covid for my age group.

The issue here is how serious do we think covid actually is. Is it serious enough to close down the world, destroy entire economic sectors, induce increase in mental health disorders, addiction, violence, and social unrest?
Is it serious enough to stop cancer screenings, preventative healthcare, schooling, and physical activity?
We've certainly claimed that it is - we've used covid deaths and post-viral syndrome to claim that all these social and individual costs are justified.
But now, faced with a rare outcome of 1 in a million, we're messaging that rolling your dice with covid is preferable?
People are not stupid. We don't get to have it both ways, folks.
