I agree for the US to pause the rollout is likely based on more data than 6 known cases of clotting. Not trying to be conspiratorial but my two cents is the authorities have more data then what is publicly being shared.

Or they are aware that data reporting is spotty - many deaths could have happened and been attributed to other causes. How many heart attacks or strokes happened in those 6 million people? How many of those might have involved undetected clots?

If we assume that only 5% of cases are being detected and reported correctly, then the numbers look quite different.
