Dr. Steven Nissen called for an immediate halt to the rollout of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine due to its potential link to rare blood clots. He argues that the risk of these clots is too great to ignore and that the vaccine should not be administered until further research is conducted. Dr. Nissen seemed to be one of the only ones who cared about the well being of people, as the EPOCH article discusses emails that were released by the FDA show that the agency rushed the approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in order to enable vaccine mandates. The emails also suggest that the FDA was aware of the potential risks associated with the vaccine, but chose to approve it anyway. It is hard to trust anyone when it comes to information about COVID. CDC officials who had spread misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic have apologized after it was revealed that the source of the false data was not from public emails, but from a private source. It is important to note that this is not the first time the CDC has been accused of spreading misinformation about the virus. In the early days of the pandemic, the CDC was accused of downplaying the severity of the virus and of providing inaccurate information about the spread of the virus. Several other organizations, including the World Health Organization, have been accused of providing false or misleading information about the virus.
