Surgeon General Says They 'Don't Know' if J&J Vaccine Caused Blood Clots

As Americans prepare to pull themselves out of this coronavirus nightmare, and drag our economy back to the table while they’re at it, experts have long suggested that mass vaccinations could be the key to jumpstarting this much-needed reboot.

This is no small task, of course, with research and development being rushed by Big Pharma to make way for the government to get involved in distribution.  That’s the sort of sentence that makes many Americans shudder with fear, knowing that neither of these gargantuan entities have a tendency to look out for the little guy.

So, when the CDC announced earlier this week that they were suggesting a pause in the use of a COVID-19 vaccine made by J&J, all on account of some rare but scary side effects, many of us wondered if this would be a set back the threatens our national recovery plan.

As if the vaccine’s side effects weren’t enough of an issue, the US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has suggested on CNN that health experts aren’t even sure if the vaccine had anything to do with the reported maladies.

Murthy said, “[W]hat we are trying to figure out right now is whether these unfortunate cases of clots are, in fact, related to the vaccine itself.”

Murthy said, “So, the reason to pause, Anderson, there are a couple of reasons: One is to do the investigation quickly, to understand whether there’s a connection between the vaccine and the adverse events. But there’s another reason as well to pause, which is to give us time to speak to the medical community, to doctors, nurses, and others who are taking care of patients so we can enlist their help in looking for the kind of symptoms we may be concerned about and then have them report it.”

Vaccine hesitancy among Americans has been a concern from the very beginning of this phase of the pandemic, and there it little doubt that the uncertainty we see here could reignite concerns over our federal capabilities.
