'Not An Indictment Of The Vaccine': FDA, CDC Call For Pause On J&J Vax After Blood Clotting Cases


The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that states stop using Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine after six people, women ages 18 to 48, developed a rare blood-clotting disorder.

Johnson & Johnson released a statement saying in part:

The safety and well-being of the people who use our products is our number one priority. We are aware of an extremely rare disorder involving people with blood clots in combination with low platelets in a small number of individuals who have received our COVID-19Β vaccine.Β The United States Centers for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administration are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases out of more than 6.8 million doses administered. Out of an abundance of caution, the CDC and FDA haveΒ recommendedΒ a pause in the use of our vaccine.

Dr. Taison Bell, a Critical Care and Infectious Disease Specialist from the University of Virginia spoke with Roland Martin about this latest development in the fight against COVID-19 and in the rollout of the coronavirus vaccines.
