Hunter David Week 24 - U.S. Recommends Pausing the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine

 Earlier in the week on Tuesday, reports came out that the U.S. has recommended a pause on the single vaccine usage of the Johnson and Johnson coronavirus vaccine. This is because investigators have found multiple cases where potentially have gotten potentially dangerous blood clots, something that can cause death to those with the infection.


Both the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and the Food and Drug Administration were the ones to find out that 6 different women between the ages of 18 and 48 have gotten these blood clots, with one, unfortunately, dying from the vaccine. Soon after the announcement, Johnson and Johnson said that though they were aware of the blood clot reports, there was no link to their vaccine at the current time. At this time, the J & J vaccines are currently being delayed in their shipment and new vaccinations are being placed into different trials.


I think that the CDC and governments should take it a step further and actually completely stop the usage of the Johnson and Johnson vaccines at the moment. The goal of vaccines is to help and heal people, and if in any vaccines there are signs of negative and deadly effects such as blood clots, then they should be shut down and put on hold until the problem is fixed. It is okay to do this due to the fact that there are other vaccines that are working such as Pfizer, so it is not like people no longer have access to a vaccine, as they do. What do you think, should the CDC completely ban the use of the J & J vaccines at the moment until the issues are fixed, or should they remain as they are, and just be on hold and delayed from being delivered to countries.
