Makes sense.
Given there are some organizations that are forcing you to get a vaccination. 1 in a million chance of dying from something you were forced to do is different than 1 in a million chance of a pseudo-random event. Makes no sense to continue with J&J given the other two don't have this issue at the moment.
Of course, the utilitarian approach is to simply continue vaccinating with J&J since surely more people are helped than harmed. I'm sure they'll reverse this decision soon enough.
- stickfigure 6y ago> different than 1 in 150 chance of contracting and dying from COVID Fixed that for you.
- endisneigh 6y agoWhat? I never claimed that contracting and dying was a 1 in a million chance?

- bentlegen 6y agoAs of today about 560,000 people in the US have died of COVID, or roughly 1 in 574. I think it’s safe to say the odds are higher than “1 in a million”.
- endisneigh 6y agoMy point isn't to say that 1 in a million die of COVID, my point is that psychologically the decision makes sense.
- stickfigure 6y agoWe don't need to have abstract philosophical conversations about hypothetical numbers. We know the real ones.
- endisneigh 6y agoAgain, that is not my point to begin with. My point is that it makes sense to pause given the poor optics of the clotting/dying until we investigate. If the article was saying J&J was permanently discontinued perhaps I'd agree with you.
- space_fountain 6y agoWhat organizations are forcing you to get vaccinated. I’ve heard a lot of speculation and honestly there should be more forceful, but I’m not aware of any. Plenty of jobs force you to drive which is absurdly risky

- JohnWhigham 6y agoYou're already required to have a list of other vaccines before entering most colleges. This is nothing new. Try harder.
- jhoechtl 6y agoThe others are way more expensive though. Allegedly artificially expensive to milk those in despair.
