US agencies call for pause in Johnson & Johnson vaccine

The PR release tells people to watch for pain in their legs. So I think it’s possible and likely that clots are not only cerebral but arterial and venous.

But, IDK and I’m super skeptical they’re willing to halt vaccine and take this hit for 6 known cases. My guess is 6 deaths they’re willing to acknowledge and a few more cases that will come out.

But again, I know nothing and I would’ve expected their stock price to take a hit today.

Hope you get better soon.

Thanks. As I've now learned, almost all of these clots originate in the legs and pelvis and then travel to other parts of the body (lungs, brain).

So I think that's why they're telling people to watch for leg pain. I didn't have any issues with my legs, but it's apparently a common symptom to have pain and swelling there.
