One in a million type reactions.
The ITP (although rare) also occurs with other vaccines - but dramatically less common with vaccines than when people get the actual diseases.
The CVST (less than one in a million) seem to be occurring LESS among those vaccinated, than among the general population.
That is likely because the sample was not random. We preferentially vaccinated older people. For most health issues, the older people are more susceptible, but this malady strikes more among women in their prime.
The concern is that this serious reaction (6 women, out of 6.8 million people vaccinated) was seen more after the first shot of vaccine, than after the second (though still less than the predicted occurrence among the unvaccinated population).
I think the likely outcome is a pause to cover the bureaucrats butts for liability (in their careers and office politics, not real legal liability), and then a resumption in the use of J&J - with a controversy that will never die hanging over it.
I get you, but I just don’t trust the actual numbers. And even if it were “one in a million” — that one in a million individual deserves a right to know if they MAY be more predisposed than another person to such a risk.
I get that some of these reactions are unpredictable. But let’s ignore clotting risk for a second...
Another “pre-existing” condition that needs to be taken seriously before being vaccinated is whether one has had Covid before and if so, for how long and when. The medical advisory bodies of various countries have differing opinions and protocols. And even here some of the debates have been made public. Should Covid survivors receive “one dose? two dose? no dose?” etc...
It is so dangerous to treat these vaccines no differently than getting a Happy Meal at a McDonald’s drive thru.
