Feds Push Pause Button on Johnson & Johnson Vaccine in US Over Extremely Rare Reports of Blood Clots

Despite what health officials call “a really rare event” and “less than one in a million,” the COVID-19 vaccine produced by Johnson and Johnson has been paused after rare reports of blood clots involving six women, one of whom died. More than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have been given in the U.S., the vast majority with no or mild side effects. At the same time, former President Donald Trump wrote a letter deeply criticizing the move by regulators to recommend the pause. “The results of this vaccine have been extraordinary but now its reputation will be permanently challenged,” Trump said.
