re: #37 Hecuba’s daughter

Absolutely sad. Based on the limited information we’ve been provided on J&J, it really seems that this vaccine should not be administered to women under the age of 50 until this has been investigated more thoroughly. Yesterday, Fareed had his normal opening statement when he repeated the common refrain about 6 out of 7 million (or maybe he referenced the 15 out of 8 million) inoculations having clots; but again this is the wrong comparison — you have to look at the demographic of these victims and how many of those being vaccinated were in this demographic. This type of outcome will discourage others from vaccination programs.

We had a local case reported — a man, and the clot was in his leg (he’s “responding well to treatment”).
