Two months after it first reached the arms of people in the United States, Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine is once again being administered following a 10-day pause over blood-clotting concerns. At the time of publication, over 8.7 million doses of the single-shot vaccine have been delivered so far, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
At the recommendation of the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine was temporarily unavailable last month as the agencies investigated sporadic reports of a rare, potentially deadly blood-clotting disorder in six patients—all women between the ages of 18 and 48. Vaccinations resumed on April 23.
Unlike its mRNA, two-dose vaccine competitors from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, this option uses a modified adenovirus to spur antibody production in its recipients. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is about 66% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19, and 85% effective at preventing a severe or critical form of COVID-19 that can lead to hospitalization or death at least 28 days after vaccination, according to data released by the company, which was confirmed in an FDA analysis.
Because it requires just one dose and has manageable temperature storage requirements, Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine was providing a helpful boost to the U.S. immunization effort. President Biden confirmed that Johnson & Johnson worked with one of its competitors, pharmaceutical giant Merck, in a “historic partnership” to increase production of its vaccine
Here’s everything experts know about Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine, including how it works, its efficacy, and its side effects—plus how it compares to the other vaccines available in the U.S. so far.

I am weird. COVID is a low virulence respiratory virus. What a joke. At the same time these vaccine fears are just as silly as COVID fears. I took the J&J for the same reason I never wore a mask. Was never worried.
So much fear and worry from all sides today. This country is full of wimps that have become so obsessed with not dying, that they have entirely forgotten “living”.

I take it this is based on yet another wild, scientifically impossible conspiracy theory? Hey, troll-boi, glad you could make it.

Little known secret.
OSHA has decreed that if a company mandates the jab as a condition of employment, then any and all reactions to the jab are workplace-related injuries.
Any company which hears about this, flees in terror from these mandatory experimental gene therapy jabs.

Can you direct us to an official link or a report that tells us this?
This news, if real, deserves at least a separate FR thread of its own.

Thank you. This deserves its own FR thread if only to inform FReepers about their rights should their company or place of employment force vaccinations on them.

You’re conflating two different issues.
A lot of people never lost their jobs, and have been teleworking for over a year. Now, their employers demand the vaccine for the return to on-site work.
Would you have them just quit their jobs?
If you are actually still in the workforce, I sincerely hope that you are well-off enough to be able to do that - if it’s your solution.
