Halting the vaccine rollout is baffling, said Dr. Michael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at the University of Southampton.
Speaking to the Science Media Centre on Monday, Head said that data suggested that the number of blood clots in the vaccinated population was the same as, or even lower than, in the general population. Halting a vaccine roll out during a pandemic has consequences. This results in delays in protecting people, and the potential for increased vaccine hesitancy, he said.
Also speaking to the SMC, Dr. Stephen Griffin of the School of Medicine at the University of Leeds called the suspensions probably not proportionate.

Stripe announced a $600 million funding round on Sunday, boosting its valuation to $95 billion.
Stripe is now more valuable than SpaceX and is likely the most valuable private tech company ever.
Stripe s CFO says that Europe is a major growth opportunity, even as it doubles down on enterprise.
Stripe has raised a new $600 million round of funding that sends the online payments processor s valuation skyrocketing up to $95 billion, the company announced on Sunday.
That valuation makes Stripe the most valuable private tech company in the world, beating out SpaceX s last valuation of $72 billion. In fact, the Financial Times reports that Silicon Valley-based Stripe is now the most valuable privately-held tech company in history, surpassing the $80 billion or so mark achieved by Facebook ahead of its own IPO, or the $72 billion high-water mark hit by Uber.
