J&J vaccine booster shot raises antibody levels 9-fold, company says
ABC ^ | 25 August 2021 | Sony Salzman

Posted on 08/25/2021 4:22:36 AM PDT by blueplum

In the midst of a delta variant surge, a new study finds that giving a booster dose of the Johnson & Johnson shot six months after primary vaccination results in a nine-fold increase of a crucial antibody response, according to a company press release.

Meanwhile, a prior study found that people vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine still had a durable immune response at least eight months later, even without a booster...

...We are prepared to offer booster shots for all Americans beginning the week of Sept. 20 and starting eight months after an individual’s second dose," said Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky, speaking at a press conference Wednesday.

But the Biden administration's Wednesday announcement on booster doses only included people who received the Pfizer or Moderna shots, omitting a specific recommendation for those who received Johnson & Johnson. Walensky said data on Johnson & Johnson could be expected "in the next few weeks" ...////

8 months sounds about right. A Flu vaccine may not last a whole year but by April, flu season is usually over. You essentially get a booster every year

it has been quite the ride with this novel virus that’s for sure.

ROI of 2 to ROI of 5, not airborne, airborne, no masks how dare you peasants ask, mask up, don’t mask, mask police. Don’t leave your state, don’t leave your county, don’t leave your house. Seniors shop at 7am. Watch those toilet paper supplies and don’t forget the lysol.

Back in May we thought we’d beat the Wuhan, and we did, at least the original recipe. The elderly weren’t dying in nursing homes, hospitals were getting a break (unless you were in so cal where it’s never ended). The vaccine was kicking butt.

And Murphy’s Law, along comes Delta, with it’s new and improved immune evasion and nasty growth rate and starts kicking us into Monday with a higher infection rate, less early treatment options and moved goalposts. Blink and the next thing you know, there’s patients shipped out of state, sick illegals sneaking into states, nurses walking out over mandated vaccinations and 76 doctors walking out over people not being vaccinated.

I miss Trump.

Thanx, I overheard some people discussing this and said to myself could it be?

if you catch Wuhan original recipe, the vaccine has the best protection because that’s what they were designed for

if you catch new and improved delta/delta plus, your odds are slightly reduced because the virus has mutated defensive mechanisms against natural antibody detection called immune escape. The vaccines boost your antibodies.

I read somewhere the average age of a breakthrough infection is 72 with two or more pre-existing conditions, for what it’s worth.

I consider the delta variant a blessing. I plan to get my antibody booster out there in the field.

I’ve heard it said that those who had JJ could top of with any vaccine, which didn’t strike me as right if JJ people were taking the JJ dna vaccine to avoid a mRna vaccine to begin with. But I’ve never heard it asked if those who had other vaccines could top off with JJ, if JJ will give 8 months over the 6 of the others?

Since you were reactive to the vaccines, you might want to explore monoclonals with your doctor as an option if you get exposed/symptomatic. They’re short lived protection, and a short window to get them, and also have side effects. Rare, but to be aware of as part of being proactive healthwise, right?. There seems to be a lot of positive ancedotal reports, so it does seem to be an outpatient treatment that can stand up to Delta.

According to this: https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/2021/08/fda-approves-pfizer-jab-after-only-confirming-it-protects-you-from-covid-19-for-7-days

the only data used in the “approval” was for two months observation back in Dec20. And, the antibodies were monitored for only 7 days.
The term “Half-Arsed” comes to mind.

regressing to 10yo and calling names doesn’t make your case any more valid.

at your age you should know, just like taking antibiotics or blood pressure meds, vaccines of any kind for any disease take time to build serum levels - of antibodies.

The vaccine mfgs have been very clear that two shots of their vaccines were needed and protection wasn’t complete until after the second shot. When people schedule their first shot they are given a second appointment. It’s been that way from day one. Noone is buying it’s a lie or a surprise.

They do look at the deaths in the first 2 weeks - and you know that too. For contact tracing and for cause.

For example TTS = 28 cases, 3 deaths or 1death/3million; risk factors: obesity, diabetes, birth control/estrogen. Wow, I’m scared. not.

Let’s see how scary myo-pericarditis is - 789 cases. Or 15?
“in all the reported cases of myocarditis related to COVID-19 vaccine, clinical symptoms resolved within 6 days with preservation of the cardiac function. Third, no complications were reported in any of these patients. This analysis shows that myocarditis related to COVID-19 vaccine has an overall fast recovery with no short-term complications.”

That’s supposed to me shake with fear? I don’t think so

you’re reading it wrong. It says in 7 days it’s 95% better than nothing. of course, anything is better than nothing, right? and then it keeps building from there

“it’s 95% more effective in protecting you from getting COVID-19 within seven days of being injected than if you haven’t gotten”

J&J booster 6-8 months after initial vaccination
Moderna/Pfitzer 8 months after 2nd dose

**************

Two months to go for the 3rd dose........

there is no 840 but there is a 940 which was written by a certifiable wackadoodle. seriously? graphene? whaat are you thinking or drinking trying to quote that to present your case?

the captioned thread starts out talking about s1 and long covid. Ok fine. Valid point. Then it's oh, it's only the vaccine s1 to worry about for decadesss!. Give me a break and save it for scaring little kids on the internets.

and, p.s., smokers may not have been hospitalized as much, seeing that most of the early hospitalized were nursing home people who weren't smokers, but when they were, pretty good chances they're dead, Jim

If people have received the jab, then deaths after that should be counted against "those who have received the jab".

They look at the deaths in the first 2 weeks, but attribute them to the unjabbed.

Counting those deaths among the unjabbed SERIOUSLY falsifies the picture.

And in favor of getting the jab.

As Dana Carvey's Church Lady would say, "How conveeeeeeeenient."

And you're throwing all kinds of smoke and chaff and squid ink in the water.

I didn't mention a thing about "OMG they need a second shot" -- the "Pfizer Barbie" video which I posted and mocked ages ago, comes out and says it ("We'll have to do this again after my second shot." "Oh I love you Ben.")

As far as myo-pericarditis...I don't trust the "official" numbers out of VAERS.
Harvard had that study that 1% of adverse events make it into VAERS.
There are scads of people talking among themselves about adverse events which the doctors unilaterally decide on the spot "can't be due to the jab" and so they don't get reported.
Others have talked about how difficult it is to get through to VAERS and complete a report.
There was someone identifying as a board certified MD (who had reported to VAERS in the past and ALWAYS received a personal call-back within 4 hours), who tried to report a severe adverse event, only to have the person on the other end of the line *hang up on them.*
And they have set up an alternative system for reporting events (v-safe) which doesn't connect to VAERS.
And one of the MDs has spoken of a whistleblower within the CDC who claims the true number of *reported* deaths (using a number of other systems besides VAERS) was 45,000.

So airly dismssing things with the "deBOOOOONKED muh official numbers" doesn't hold water anymore, nobody believes you.
AND...

AND
"Hurr Durr The Science is Settled Muh Consensus"

They're pathological liars.

Anybody who shills for them loses ALL trust and credibility.

AND

How do they know IN ADVANCE there's going to be an outbreak of Acute Flaccid Myelitis?

Stop flailing, you are embarrassing to watch.

I did not direct your attention to the graphene oxide specifically.

I posted weeks ago what looked like a legit trade journal for water treatment which talked about introducing GO into the water supply in Britain. I don’t know why it’s there (even ostensibly).

The issue with the vaccine s1 is that the jabs are guaranteed to introduce trillions of spike protein molecules into your body, or mRNA to produce trillions of spike protein molecules. Natural exposure to the SARS CoV-2 or whatever the preferred moniker is by the pedants, is not guaranteed to do that: each virion has 24 +/- 9 spike proteins. So you need a severe infection to get a large load of spike proteins into your body by that route.

Bad move on your part mentioning nursing homes: those deaths are due to Dem governors.

And your argument is circular reasoning: smokers were not hospitalized as much because other people were hospitalized more. You’re confusing absolute count with percentages.
Why was there such a low absolute number of smokers hospitalized? The signal is that that nicotine had some protective effects. The link explains why — apoptosis of the S1-modified cells.

He added, "Whether this relationship is maintained for the now dominant delta variant of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 remains to be seen."

The study cited was done in 2020, and the Delta wave shows 'jabbed' victims are now infectious, like the cruise liner with all-'jabbed' crew and passengers contracting CoVID. So much so the CDC changed rules, again, defining 'vaccinated' as only after 14 days; if you get CoVID within that period you are 'unvaccinated', even though you have the spikes in you.
