| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, April 14th. What to know about a temporary pause of the Johnson and Johnson |
| 0:04.8 | vaccine all around the U.S. and how President Biden's deadline to withdraw U.S. troops from |
| 0:09.4 | Afghanistan looks different than last year's plan. Also, a major update to a high-profile |
| 0:15.0 | disappearance 25 years later. Plus, we'll tell you about a cat food recall, changes to some children's |
| 0:21.2 | apps, and what Spotify's first gadget simply called Car thing is all about. |
| 0:28.5 | Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy, all the days news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, |
| 0:34.2 | and on the go. I'm Air Commandy, thanks so much for being here. You're ready? Let's do this. |
| 0:43.5 | Johnson and Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be given out anywhere in the U.S. |
| 0:48.3 | at least temporarily. Federal health officials from the CDC and FDA recommended the pause |
| 0:53.9 | because six people reported getting a rare and severe type of blood clot. All six were adult |
| 0:59.0 | women under 50 years old. The symptoms started anywhere from six to 13 days after they got their |
| 1:04.4 | shot, and one of the women died. Keep in mind, that's six cases out of more than seven million |
| 1:10.4 | people who have gotten the Johnson and Johnson shots so far. In other words, it looks like the chance |
| 1:14.7 | of getting this reaction is less than one in a million. Health officials say anyone who got the |
| 1:19.6 | shot more than a month ago is likely in the clear, but they say anyone who got the vaccine more |
| 1:23.9 | recently, likely the last couple weeks, does not need to panic but should look out for symptoms |
| 1:28.7 | of blood clots just in case. Those symptoms include severe headaches, stomach pain, leg pain, |
| 1:33.8 | or shortness of breath. Regulators hope to get to the bottom of it in the next few days and then |
| 1:38.6 | decide what to do next. Whether the Johnson and Johnson vaccine ends up back on the market or not, |
| 1:43.9 | the Biden administration says the U.S. should still have enough other vaccine doses for all |
| 1:48.0 | Americans by the end of next month. Moderna and Pfizer are already delivering the most doses anyway. |
| 1:56.2 | Today, President Biden is expected to announce that all American troops will leave Afghanistan |
