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.

Are some COVID-19 vaccines better than others? Inside Story UP NEXT
More countries are approving different COVID-19 vaccines to try to control the pandemic, and the drugmakers are touting varying levels of protection.
That has led to the belief that some vaccines are better than others.
AstraZeneca vials are sitting unused in France and Germany, and it is reported people are cancelling their appointments in favour of getting a Pfizer shot.
Health experts say people should not pick and choose – they should take whichever vaccine is available.

Earmarks benefit lawmakers more than localities Print this article
Democrats are bringing back earmarks, and plenty of media voices are cheering the development. Some commentators, on both the Left and the Right, say earmarks are the grease that makes the congressional machine work. Another defense, from some conservatives and libertarians, is that Congress rightly should exercise more spending authority than it does and should cede less to the executive.
Both of these arguments have merit and ought to be weighed against the costs (in terms of corruption, mostly, of earmarking). But one argument that strikes me as naive is that earmarks are just about helping out local communities. I believe this ignores both the economics and the politics of earmarks.
