Not only this as a "second class" vaccine, there are already huge amounts of vaccine hesitancy around the whole thing. It's a very specific grouping. I knew they were all the right age has it been confirmed all were on birth control? And has it been confirmed all had thrombocytopenia?

Definitely could have been handled better though I don't think it's necessarily the worst handling either. Restricting some instead of restricting all would be great, but the vaccine also isn't FDA approved yet, it's under EUA approval so they need to act quickly and with conviction with a stringent eye for safety. Not sure what normal vaccine approval is like but I know it's a horrendous process. Not sure what the normal course of action would be with something like this during trials, but I'm not sure how out of the ordinary their reaction truly is.
