Irresponsible caution on vaccines

The story Johnson & Johnson, after the AstraZeneca case, perfectly represents the impotence of institutions paralyzed by media panic which they should instead appease. There is no official act that has suspended the use of the single-dose vaccine against Covid on the Italian or European territory. What triggered the panic was the US FDA’s decision to suspend the use of the vaccine out of “plenty of caution”, while studying the possible correlation of 6 serious adverse events on nearly 7 million administrations. The situation in the US is very different, given that double the population of Italy has been vaccinated and that there is a large availability of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that will not slow down the American campaign that is marching at a rate of 3 million. inoculations per day. No new scientific information arrives from the United States, given that several days ago the EMA announced that it is evaluating the rare suspected adverse events on American data.
