Many other media members from left, right, and center took to Twitter to pan the decision:
Some agreed with the decision and thought the call to pause suggested something more serious than the reported blood clots. White House adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday he did not believe it was"pulling the trigger too quickly." The decision managed to briefly allow conservatives and the far left to agree on something, but the FDA maintains it was not made lightly. "Treatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered. CDC will convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on Wednesday to further review these cases and assess their potential significance. FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases.
In a statement provided to Fox News, Johnson & Johnson said the"safety and well-being of people who use our products" remains the company's number one priority, and that it was aware of an"extremely rare disorder involving people with blood clots in combination with low platelets in a small number of individuals who have received our COVID-19 vaccine."

A billion dollar company would never pause their trial because of 6 people,they simply don't care about you a d your life. There must be something more sinister going on. Sincerely, anti vaxxer
Instead of just condemning the decision, maybe the media should take the time to understand why they determined a pause was in the best interest of the county and help them explain their decision to the public. The public wants the facts!
Ridiculous
Just wait till you see what happens from Moderna and Pfizer down the road.
We have heard similar cases of blood clots regarding AstraZeneca, despite millions being inoculated; the same applies to the Johnson &Jvaccine, in the case of a 1 in a million risk of blood clots, it's okay, the decision is made from a scientific perspective.
