I had blood clots in my lungs last week a few days after getting the J&J vaccine. I'm an otherwise totally healthy man in my 30s, no preconditions. The hospital reported it to the vaccine reporting agency, which I assume is reviewing all this information.
I'm not sure if they considered my case when making this decision. My clots were different type than what these women experienced (pulmonary, not cerebral).
Of course vaccinating the public is extremely important right now. If the risks of clotting really are 1 in a million, it makes sense to re-instate it. I also think that's an obvious conclusion and the people working on this are well aware of the public health trade-off.
I suspect they are working with more information than what's in the press release, and its prudent to give them some time to work through it.
