probably thats why

I'm not saying that their vaccine is or isn't better, but the only negative things I can find is that after you get the second shot, you may experience headaches or some such. Surely there's more to it than that ? All vaccines can have bad side effects in certain people.

It's not really nation wide health authorities doing this, it's more region by region with national politicians blinking. Germany officially it's a couple of districts out of the whole country that's postponed. I would be interested to see how many each entity employs in those regions.

The young women thing is interesting though, there were early reports young women might be at specific risk to COVID-19 if they have some condition related to MS. So I can't help but wonder if there is a coincidence, but as far as I know those concerns were dismissed. As an aside apparently a dose of Influenza is a known trigger of MS, another good reason for girls to get Influenza vaccines!

The mRNA vs Adenovirus vaccine solution is likely irrelevant, because fundamentally if the side-effects are real the J&J vaccine should be identical to AstraZeneca, but you have to always consider genetics as a factor in region to region.

AstraZeneca is doing this at cost, the others not so much!

But I have to say for me the real worry is that AstraZeneca again late today, so overnight Germany time, reports no official reports from the the German health department. That seems odd if you suspend a vaccine citing 31 severe incidents of unexpected side-effects!

btw., The media are being a bit tricky, the 31 cases are not confirmed to be blood clots, the media is using associative wording by reporting 31 cases of side-effects then discussing previous claims of blood clots in separate cases, which the initial reports dismiss in the closing paragraph if you read that far.  So a reader builds that link, and even some secondary reporting has cited blood clots. The official reports as yet give no description of the cases / side-effects.
