I don't understand the move to pause the J&J shot. Is it really about just six cases or is there something else?

So, if im reading correctly, it was all women who were younger and of child bearing age. Reading that oral contraceptives have a much much higher rate in blood clots, could this be the issue and not the vaccine, or maybe the vaccine along with the oral contraceptives dont go well together?

The NFL informed clubs today any team employee who refuses a COVID-19 vaccination without “bona fide medical or religious ground” will be barred from Tier 1 or Tier 2 status, and thus have restricted access within the team facility and not work directly with players, per sources

sounds like the location of the clots and not knowing why a vaccine would trigger it is why they are looking into it " The clots also appeared in unusual parts of the body, such as the brain and abdomen, rather than in the legs, where most deep-vein blood clots form." But the finding leaves researchers wrestling with a medical mystery: why would a vaccine trigger such an unusual condition? What kind of blood clots are we talking about? The FDA says the clots are a rare and severe type that happen in the blood supply that drains the brain. It's called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis or CVST, and it is being seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (a condition called thrombocytopenia). The symptoms of CVST vary but they can include headache, blurred vision, fainting or loss of consciousness, loss of control over movement in part of the body, seizures. The FDA has suggested that health care providers pause the use of the vaccine while the side effects are being studied. However, providers are not prohibited from using the vaccine if they feel the benefits to an individual patient outweigh the risks. The government is convening an expert review panel which will hold a public meeting Wednesday. Officials hope to resolve these safety questions in a matter of days. |

At least here in Colorado the number of J&J shots given has only recently ramped up so if it takes two weeks or so for the effects to show up then there’s potentially a lot more people who have not yet reached the point where they would be experiencing these symptoms. I’m guessing those of us (myself included) who have gotten it so far as a larger test pool now to see what develops in terms of side effects over the next few weeks before they decide to resume using it or not. I doubt anyone will actually say that, but now that there’s a larger group of test subjects to study, why not wait and see what happens. |
