The CVST is a red herring because that's where the clots showed up, the underlying condition is the immune system attacking blood platelets. The government doesn't care about stopping Covid, only what they can get from using it.
For J&J it's six known cases out of 7M doses, with one fatality. Even if they think there's a link, they won't de-certify the vaccine over those numbers, worst case probably restrict it to certain demographics.

The mRNA numbers have to be considered in light of 100's of millions of doses delivered...
