CNN has reached out to Roth's representatives for comment. The flamboyant front man was known as "Diamond Dave" during the band's 1970s and '80s heyday, when the foursome had hits like "Dance the Night Away" and "Jump."

J&J vaccine could be linked to another clotting condition: EU | TheHill – The Hill

The European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European Union's drug regulator, on Friday found a possible link between Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine and rare cases of blood clotting in deep veins. During a Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee meeting, the agency said it found a possible link between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the J&J vaccine.  "VTE is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in a leg, arm or groin, and may travel to the lungs causing a blockage of the blood supply, with possible life-threatening consequences," the agency wrote in its meeting highlights. It is recommending that the condition be listed as a rare side effect. The agency also recommends that immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) be listed as a side effect of ...
