Re:Germany pauses AstraZeneca vaccinations as a 'precaution' by yoaviram on Monday March 15, 2021 @03:21PM (#26469111)
An hypothesis: I'm not sure about Germany but in France, Spain and several other European countries 40% of the population do not want to get vaccinated. I believe the countries that have suspended AZ have done so so that those who generally doubt the safety of vaccination don't have a reason to further doubt this one. Even if a small percentage of those 40% is convinced by this act it's a large number of people.

Or alternatively they've added extra doubts to the vaccination effort which will result in more people deciding not to get a vaccine.

In my opinion they're very much pandering to the large anti-vax populations of these countries.
