Agreed. Another unknown is how many people may have had some clotting issues that were mild and unreported. As you note, even though the 7/7M odds are compelling, the effect is still unexpected and there are two other vaccine alternatives. Taking a pause to consider the issues and perhaps make adjustments in suitable patient profiles and/or adjust follow up observation and early intervention treatment protocols for the issue makes sense.
Don't know if it matters to anyone, but the "FDA has suggested that health care providers pause the use of the vaccine while the side effects are being studied. However, providers are not prohibited from using the vaccine if they feel the benefits to an individual patient outweigh the risks." [1]
