The risk of blood clots from birth control pills is 1 in 1,000 and is considered a low-risk side effect. The risk from the J&J vaccine is 1 in 1,000,000. #GetVaccinated

@US_FDA

As of 4/12, 6.8m+ doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S. CDC & FDA are reviewing data involving 6 reported U.S. cases of a rare & severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the vaccine. Right now, these adverse events appear to be extremely rare

I respect the independence of the FDA and their need to evaluate risk. But 6 out of 6.8 million is not a lot, and if they are going to land on “we reviewed the data and everything is fine,” they need to be clear and quick and unequivocal.

Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH

@ashishkjha

These events (central venous thrombosis) are VERY rare 6 out of 7 million No vaccine (or drug) is perfect But confidence is built on having a system that takes adverse events seriously, investigates them, makes data-driven decisions That/s what FDA/CDC doing And its right

Natalie E. Dean, PhD

@nataliexdean

A few comments on the J&J news:
- A pause is not permanent
- The FDA is cautious because it’s important to be responsive to any safety concern; long-term trust is easily lost
- We have additional insights from the AZ vaccine used in Europe, which is also adenovirus-based

I have yet to see a *single* headline noting how many out of 6.8 million Johnson and Johnson recipients — of which I am one — developed blood clots.

(6. The answer is 6. Total. Over months of distribution.)

I am begging editors to be responsible here.

If out of the blue one morning Gov. Newsom was like "Shark attacks are extremely rare, but out of an abundance of caution, we're closing every beach in California until we investigate more", that's not likely to get more people to go out to the beach, even once beaches reopen.

Also a reminder that these blood clots are so incredibly rare and this pause is A) out of an abundance of caution and B) to ensure providers know how to treat/look for symptoms of these clots. Just 6 people in the US have had these clots out of the almost 7 million who got J&J

It's also a high-stakes test for the FDA, and they failed it, because of course lots of people are going to take away the latter message.

Matthew Gertz

@MattGertz

I am extremely skeptical of the ability of public messaging to disaggregate "the J&J vaccine is under review as a precaution" from "the J&J vaccine is not safe and the others may not be either" in the minds of normal people. An incredibly crucial, high-stakes test for the press.

@NateSilver538

@NateSilver538

I disagree. Say there's a 1 in 100 chance someone acquires COVID because of a delayed vaccine (maybe conservative in the US where spread is still quite high) and a 1 in 150 chance they die from it. That's a 1 in 15,000 chance vs. 1 blood clot death in 7,000,000 doses so far.

Kai Kupferschmidt

@kakape

I just don’t get it, @NateSilver538. I admire your work on polling and you clearly appreciate the complexity there.
You can argue about the FDA decision for sure, but pretending it is blindingly obvious that they are wrong, simply isn’t true or fair to this situation.

@NateSilver538

Public health bureaucrats have some weird habits in how they reason under uncertainty and how they communicate to the public. It might help if they sought out experts from economics, sociology, psychology, etc., instead of telling everyone to stay in the their lane.

Since the start of 2021, legislators in more than 30 states have introduced bills that would ban transgender kids from playing sports.

HUGE NEWS

The Biden admin will allow telemedicine to be used for medication abortion during the pandemic.

In layperson speak, that mean’s the FDA will temporarily lift its requirement that pills used for medication abortion be administered in-person.
