While I understand this to a degree - this still pretends the long-term risks of covid are zero or less than the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

It is a two sided equation.

For young people (it seems especially young women) I think the answer could end up going in either direction honestly. I think it's completely reasonable to redirect them to mRNA vaccine until we know more.

Not sure why the J&J vaccine had to pause for older population where clearly the vaccine has a much better benefit/risk profile though. But at least in my area of the US the vaccination rate for senior citizens is quite high already.
