The CDC and the US Food and Drug Administration a day earlier recommended the US pause the use of the single-shot J&J vaccine after "six reported US cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot." The six cases were among more than 6.8 million Americans who have received a dose of that vaccine.

"Less than 1 in a million," Dr. Anthony Fauci noted Tuesday during a White House briefing.

All six cases were among women between the ages of 18 and 48, the agencies said in a statement, and symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination. The recommendation to pause comes out of "an abundance of caution," they added, and these cases "appear to be extremely rare."

I always feel that the trem "abundance of caution" is so overused lately, and perhaps in this matter as well.

The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000. The odds of being struck in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000. Lightning can kill people (3,696 deaths were recorded in the U.S.).

IMO - this "pause" will provide MUCH MORE fodder for those anti-vaccine folks, and will eventually kill more Amercians than the 1/1,000,000...
