> With two well-tolerated and safe mRNA vaccines in the market, we can afford — to a degree! — to put Ad-based vaccines through additional scrutiny

This assumes that we have enough safe vaccines, which we wildly don't.

Yeah, that “to a degree” is US-centric and, even then, doing a lot of work — in the US, J&J is probably about 1/3 of the total vaccinations when accounting for the prime/boost mRNA protocol, so even here it’s a mess, and we’re in much better shape than the rest of the world.
