      Interesting that people in the public health sphere seem to be pretty agnostic on what effect the J&J pause will have on vaccine hesitancy (maybe leaning toward it being a slight positive) while the sentiment of people who cover politics/media is toward it being a clear negative.https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1382004214180634634 …

      Is it possible that the FDA is going to increase vaccine hesitancy here, rather than lower it? Definitely. Let's say, in three days, they clear J&J totally. Will that get the news coverage the pause did? Will it fully end the fears the public now has? I doubt it.

      I'm obviously in the "it's a negative" camp. And obviously, I could be wrong. But given how much COVID is a political/media focal point, both groups have relevant expertise. Does the FDA have a process to consult with broader, more varied types of experts on questions like these?

      I know this isn't FDA's primary concern but the global interpretation may well be more significant than it looks from here—"USA FDA cancelled appointments with a few minutes notice" isn't easy to communicate as "abundance of caution in a country with abundance of other vaccines".

          There is a "it means they are super careful, isn't that reassuring" interpretation (and yep, that works on me and people like me!) but that's not necessarily how it reverberates outwards, which is just a thorny reality.

          The anti-vaxxers in my circle are eating this up. They view it as purely validating and justifying of their skepticism.

          Yeah, plus there's the dirty little secret that not *that* many people were getting vaccinated with J&J anyway because of the manufacturing delays. But that's all the more reason to think about the signal it would send abroad, etc.

          Signal it sends about all the viral vector vaccines.
