If the FDA starts halting meds with a 1 in 7M risk of death, there would be no antibiotics.

This is not botox, this is a life-saving vaccine.

Pause it in the group where compl were clustered &inform the rest of the public-Let them decide.

My oped today: thehill.com/opinion/health…
We are still vaccine supply constrained & some regions of the country are still at war with Covid. If supply>>demand then the FDA actions would of had less impact.

Ironically, a (pre-scheduled) NYT headline calling for vaccine mandates was published on the day of the J&J news.
The FDA & CDC are now taking their good old time again, as they did with the pandemic warning, masks, vax allocation guidance, schools, and privileges for vaccinated people.

They convened their experts 2 days after they decided to halt J&J's vax, then punted another 7-10days.
Here's the info the FDA & CDC should have quickly collected (in 6 hours!) and immediately shared with the public on the 8 patients:

Did they have Covid previously? (may have sensitized)
On birth control pills?
Had Factor 5L or clotting risk factors?
Common underlying condition?
