Original Note:
This is technically true, but AstraZeneca's vaccine was not withdrawn *because* of the rare side effect. Although the post says "after," this could be misunderstood as causality. AstraZeneca said it was withdrawn due to low demand, citing the surplus of updated vaccines. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/07/astrazeneca-withdrawing-covid-vaccine/
