This is not software. So do you believe the government should be transparent or not? If anything you should blame the media, not the government.

I believe there are significant public health implications to how information is released to the public that need to be considered better than they have been in the case of this pause and the similar case with the AZ vaccine.

I believe, as with software, that immediate release of unvetted, incomplete, and still-being-investigated information can be actively harmful to people.
