"If the 2nd appointment is 3 weeks after the 1st appointment, it’s the Pfizer vaccine. If 4 weeks later, it’s Moderna." so they are the same formula just different mfgs?

A continuation from last week’s thread. Discussion of the three Covid vaccines currently available in the USA — Comparisons. Contrasts. Pros. Cons. First hand experiences, scientific insights, etc...
The current vaccines available on the market are:
1) Pfizer/BioNTech (mRNA) 2 doses 2) Moderna (mRNA) 2 doses 3) Johnson & Johnson (DNA adenovirus vector) 1 dose
I second the opinion of steve86 who said:
“Novavax (not yet approved) is the only covid vaccine meriting consideration from me.
Not mRNA
No fetal cell line involvement whatsoever (uses insect calls)
Good efficacy
Plant-based adjuvant is safe and reduces needed dose”
Novavax may be available as soon as May.
I was hoping to avoid getting a vaccine but might get one if required for international travel, which looks likely
“I agree I am enrolled in the JNJ Ensemble 2 trial which is their backup plan to the 1 stick already approved....”

Congrats on getting in that trial. I volunteered for a number of trials but was selected for none.
Agreed. It’s like lemmings that can’t wait to get to the cliff. Very little thought to what happens once you jump off.
55% mRNA titer is probably going to get the job done as much as +55% mRNA because of the nature of how mRNA works.
There was a garbage fearporn MSM article earlier this week that 'reported' fractured mRNA delivery in the top 2.
If you read an MSM article about vaccines, click on the reporter's name and then his bio. The majority of journolists 'reporting' on COVID literally have no understanding of mRNA or the topic they are being paid to write about.
“Typically, when you show up at a vaccination station, they do not provide a menu.”
“You get what they have.”
Bingo!
Get what ever appt. you can with minimal driving and hassle.
Then get the shot where you made the appt..
It seems like the government programs are using Moderna and Pfizer; the private sector has J&J around here. I’ve been hitting the CVS/Albertson (Tom Thumb locally) and Brookshire (a small local grocery chain) websites to try to get on their j&j lists - so far without luck. The local county closed their lists in mid February without prior warning and isn’t accepting new applicants any more.
I got my second Moderna dose about 5 weeks ago. I didn’t really notice much of anything after either dose, other than injection site soreness for a couple days. Being over 65 now, my thinking was that if I contracted covid, even if it didn’t kill me, it can make you really, really sick. And I didn’t have much interest in that.
Not an argument.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
The fact that ANYONE can simply drop dead after a vac shot is enough to keep going with my immune system. I have been an “essential” worker since the original “flatten the curve” days and have no problem leaving the vaccination to those who feel that they need it.
This.
What are your odds of contracting China virus?
LOL
This is all a con. Simple supplements like D3, zinc, magnesium and Vit C daily is all you need to ward off most illnesses, including this phony virus. To me it’s totally unnecessary, and if by some chance I get this crap, hydroxychloriquine and a z-pack is all I will need to get over it. No one know what long term effects this will have.
Does it make any difference?
mRNA vaccines contain material from the virus that causes COVID-19 that gives our cells instructions for how to make a harmless protein that is unique to the virus. After our cells make copies of the protein, they destroy the genetic material from the vaccine. Our bodies recognize that the protein should not be there and build T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes that will remember how to fight the virus that causes COVID-19 if we are infected in the future.
But that’s only good for the common virus. If there is a morphing of the virus that fights the vaccine effects, it will survive and multiply. And each time it does, it will get stronger. So as time goes on, this changing virus will laugh at the vaccine as it won’t do the job. We are already seeing this from the UK and South American. This joke about killing it and getting back to normalcy is stupid. Ain’t gonna happen. This Chinese “get even” attack on the world is not going to go away. It’ll change, but not disappear.

Thanks maybe it is easier here in FL especially after the MRNA vaccines were approved. I even referred a couple of friends who got in for which I got paid also. I never take flu shots but want to continue cruising and I am sure a lot of the ports are going to require a vaccine
I agree with your take. If I get vaccinated it will be an actual vaccine and that’s J&J. I’m 72, in good health and get very little exposure. I’m in no hurry.
I hear you. In addition to being in a trial I am on Ivermectin (horse med) Vitamin C & D, along with Querciten which is supposed to prevent the virus while as a bonus ridding me of any parasites I may have acquired in my travels
“What are your odds of contracting China virus?”
Well, one of my sons and his wife both have had it, my other son’s girlfriend had it as well. My niece and her husband had it. It was pretty widespread around here.
