pausing causes vaccine hesitance, but finding out that the authorities knew about potential risks like this and didn't pause the rollout to assess those risks also causes vaccine hesitance, and is also poor politics. they did the safe thing, regardless of the politics. if you're skeptical about vaccines you should be reassured by that. and if a person is skeptical about vaccines but somehow isn't reassured by the authorities taking responsible safety precautions, they're probably not coming from a place of reason and there's not much point worrying what they think.
