> You really can't see the parallel? "There's data coming in that suggests the AZ vaccine is deadly to a small but significant population, so while we wait for more data, we're going to halt its use".

But there's no data like that. And even preliminary observations estimate danger of causing clotting by AZ at less that is caused by air travel.
