Vaccine Recalled After Two People Who Took It Fell Down A Manhole And Died - The Babylon Bee

Some are criticizing the recall of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine since nearly seven million people have taken it and only two have fallen down a manhole, making the risk seem minuscule – especially compared to the death rate of COVID-19. Also, not everyone is sure those deaths are related to the vaccine and believe they may in fact be caused by the carelessness of construction workers.

They make the point perfectly. The public justification for this pause is so thin that it’s laughable. The worst outcome of the past year is that public health officials have driven policy makers to the point of believing that the only acceptable reality is one with zero risk.
