The NIAC's statements are a bit strange though, I get precautionary principle. But they literally said on Friday they wouldn't recommend deferment, then another statement today they would recommend it but will meet again today and possibly say something different.If they decide these cases are unrelated it will only be a pause for a few days. They’re erring on the side of caution while this is investigated. Could be full steam ahead by middle of this week.
It’s a PR nightmare though. Music to the ears of antivaxxers.
I suppose I may not be cognisant of any precedents or frameworks and how certain health agencies might be compelled or bound to act certain ways regarding vaccine provision should there be any concerns, however small to look into side effects.
