SIX - Theme park stocks tripped up by CDC vaccine halt

Theme parks stocks are lower in a downward swing of sentiment that may be tied to the CDC halting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine earlier today. JNJ's statement on the CDC action: "We are aware of an extremely rare disorder involving people with blood clots in combination with low platelets in a small number of individuals who have received our COVID-19 vaccine. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administration are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases out of more than 6.8 million doses administered. Out of an abundance of caution, the CDC and FDA have recommended a pause in the use of our vaccine." Some traders are calling the selling pressure an overreaction. SeaWorld Entertainment (SEAS) -2.81%, Cedar Fair (FUN) -0.55% and Six Flags Entertainment (SIX) -2.89% are all in negative territory on the day.Read why Jefferies is bullish on Six Flags.
