FDA Limits J&J's COVID-19 Vaccine Over Blood Clot Risk

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday strictly limited
who can receive Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine due to a rare but
serious risk of blood clots.

After 'taking another look at the data' on the risks of
life-threatening blood clots, the FDA's head of vaccines, Dr. Peter
Marks, said that only adults who cannot receive a different vaccine,
or specifically request J&J's shot can get one, according to the
Associated Press.

"If there’s an alternative that appears to be equally effective in
preventing severe outcomes from COVID-19, we’d rather see people
opting for that," said Marks. "But we’ve been careful to say that--
compared to no vaccine-- this is still a better option."

    The problem occurs in the first two weeks after vaccination, he
added: “So if you had the vaccine six months ago you can sleep soundly
tonight knowing this isn’t an issue.”

    The vaccine was initially considered an important tool in fighting
the pandemic because it required only one shot. But the single-dose
option proved less effective than two doses of the Pfizer and Moderna
vaccines. -AP

The clotting is more common in women under 50, who suffered a fatality
rate of roughly 1 per million shots, according to Marks. Overall,
federal scientists flagged 60 cases of the side effect, including nine
that were fatal.

According to Marks, the FDA 'spent extra time' evaluating whether the
J&J vaccine clotting was connected to a separate issue such as birth
control, which can raise the risk of clotting.

To nobody's surprise, Twitter labeled the headline "Misleading" when
tweeted by @Breaking911, however AP's same exact headline wasn't
flagged.

    Twitter is banning users from sharing FDA’s latest advisory on
severe vaccine risks related to blood clots.

    because of - drumroll - blood clots. Remember when Twitter would
ban you for warning about that? https://t.co/KP7YjT0PEh
