Taipei Times: "Global hopes received a blow on Thursday when Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Norway and Romania postponed or limited the rollout of their quota of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines after isolated reports of recipients developing blood clots.

Thailand and Bulgaria followed suit yesterday.

Thailand’s decision led to the embarrassing spectacle of Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha abruptly canceling his own televised jab."

Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn (health official): “Vaccine injection for Thais must be safe, we do not have to be in a hurry.”

WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris: “Yes, we should continue using the AstraZeneca vaccine. There is no indication to not use it.”

European Medicines Agency: "The vaccine's benefits continue to outweigh its risks and the vaccine can continue to be administered while investigation of cases of thromboembolic events is ongoing."

Australia’s Department of Health: "There is no evidence of long-term side effects from the jabs."

The last claim is the one we need to watch out for. Yes, there's no evidence of long-term side effects but that's because no long-term studies have been done due to the fact that we skipped that part. You can't then claim that as proof of safety.
