I agree that 1 seems unlikely, and yet #2 just feels too close to a conspiracy theory. The only explanation for #2 that I can think of that doesn't verge into crazy land of coverups is that there may be very specific reasons to believe the vaccine is the cause, but not enough confidence in that conclusion to release the details publicly without risking the vaccination effort if it turns out the vaccine was not the issue.
It would help if details were released about the physical condition of the 6 people impacted by this. If all of them were otherwise perfectly healthy people with no risk factors for this sort of issue, then yes-- that's a bit of a smoking gun.
But where things stand right now I just don't know what to make of the issues, which is just so damn frustrating because I know it gives ample reason to anyone inclines to doubt the experts or avoid vaccination a reason to do so.
