J&J pause will go down as one of the deadliest mistakes in USG history. Disaster.

Yeah I don’t think that’s a significant causal factor

You seriously think it was purely a coincidence that nationwide vaccination rates just *happened* to nosedive the exact same weekend the J&J “safety pause” was announced?? Come on mannnnnnn. Just Google the graph lol it’s the most obvious thing ever. But if u prefer anecdotes,

I had dozens of patients mention to me back then that their hesitancy was caused by safety concerns sparked by that announcement. And before you ask, since my patients are laypeople, they simply do not understand that a safety issue with j&J is irrelevant to Pfizer
