Just moments ago a Bloomberg summary popped into my inbox and a link from "The pause of the J&J vaccine was not without its controversy" and a link from there has this as the last sentence of the article: In the meantime, health officials will need to convince the public to take J&J’s shot.

I sure don't want to get the Russian Sputnik vaccine because I have zero trust the Russians would sweep rare side-effects under the rug.
