THOUGHTS ON J&J VACCINE NEWS:

1. If the FDA will pause a vaccine because of 6 blood clots in 6.8 million patients, the public can feel extraordinarily safe about vaccines they do allow

2. Blood clots occur more often than this in the general public, so it may not be the vaccine
3. Use of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been paused in some other nations due to blood clots, also

4. This shouldn't make anyone afraid of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, which employ different technology than the J&J or AZ vaccines
5. Remind your vaccine-hesitant friends that MANY Rx medications THEY TAKE have a far higher death & long-term side effect rate than any vaccine

6. The FDA could benefit from PR coaching so that their announcements don't cause further vaccine hesitancy in the American public
