Johnson and Johnson’s one-dose coronavirus vaccine shows promise of being safe and effective with fewer side effects than other vaccines. The results of early trials were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The two vaccines approved by the FDA — Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech — both require two doses about three weeks apart to become fully effective. The Pfizer vaccine has shown some worrying side effects in a small percentage of patients, including allergic reactions that could become life-threatening. There is less data on the Moderna vaccine but side effects have also been a problem.
J&J scientists randomly assigned healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 55 and those 65 and older to receive a high or low dose of its vaccine — called Ad26.COV2.S — or a placebo. Some participants in the 18-to-55 age group were also selected to receive a second dose of the vaccine.
Most of the volunteers produced detectable neutralizing antibodies, which researchers believe play an important role in defending cells against the virus, after 28 days, according to the trial data. By day 57, all volunteers had detectable antibodies, regardless of vaccine dose or age group, and remained stable for at least 71 days in the 18-to-55 age group.
The most common side effects were fever, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, and pain at the injection site, according to the trial data, with fewer side effects for those in the older age group.
Another potential advantage with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is that the logistics of delivering and storing it are far less complicated.

Paul Stoffels, Chief Scientific Officer at J&J said the company plans to ship the vaccine at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, which is about 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
“We have three months stability as of this moment at 2 to 8,” he said. “That will be expanded over the year as we generate more stability data. We know from our other vaccines it can go up to a year, but at the start we can’t do that because we don’t have it for this vaccine.”
In contrast, the COVID vaccine developed by Pfizer has to be stored at -94 degrees and needs specialized refrigeration to be stored and shipped. Being able to ship the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in regular refrigeration units will cut costs dramatically and make the vaccine more widely available.
Give it to some leftwads and see how many of them die.
Complete with gurney, a last meal and last rites. I’ll pass, thanks.
So they’re admitting there are side effects to the vaccines. Enough so as to make them a discrminater in selection. Or instead of being a guinea pig and long term test subject, I could simply take my chances with an illness that for someone in my condition is no more dangerous than seasonal flu. Perhaps even less so. Gee, makes my choice pretty clear. I told my supervisor today that if taking a vaccine becomes mandatory at work, I will be leaving. I told him in writing. Signed. I mean it.
So many of my coworkers jumped at the chance of getting the vaccine. Now, after getting the second dose, they are all out sick. I’m restraining myself from saying I told you so
I wish I could upvote this.
:D
As a physician who has already had two of the injections, I am dismayed at the misinformation out there. What are often called “side affects” of the vaccine are actually symptoms of a persons immune response to the viral antigen.
Hope it doesn’t go the way of J & J Levaquin. Few side effects . . . NOT!
“What are often called “side affects” of the vaccine are actually symptoms of a persons immune response to the viral antigen.”
What about the deaths?
i’m not taking any
but comparing all of them, for what’s been reported about them, johnson and johnson’s seems to be the least dangerous, and at this point is just a single shot dose
I know three people who were in the Moderna trial. One had no symptoms, which meant that she didn’t get the vaccine. The other two (one who is an immunologist) got knocked flat with the second dose. My nurse practitioner told me today that she has cleared her calendar for three days following the second dose as she’s been cautioned that it’ll take a toll.
3 days...that’s child’s play. Ask a vet about the anthrax series. After the first shot HALF of my unit was at sick call with 103F plus fevers. Some of us lost motor control of the limb for nearly a week. The second dose was worse some of us were bed ridden for a week or more. We had one guy who previously never had epilepsy drop out and.flop like a fish with a 105f fever. By the third dose most were just sore in the arm and mild fever. We took it like men for our country and didn’t whine like little girls being told tp.do so. Sacrifices must be made fot uncle suger and thats just the way it is in the service.
Reminds me of Gulf War Syndrome.
In the months and years following the war, thousands of service people who had been at the peak of fitness were affected in some way. Wasn’t that attributed to the cocktail of stuff they were injected with?
Levaquin is one of the nastiest drugs ever released. So many people had life-altering (and death) outcomes from that medication and the makers and medical industry denied it for decades.
I took it for pneumonia a few years ago. I guess I was fortunate because I had no problems.
Single dose, and stable at room temperature will make it more available to the third world. Those people don’t have the luxury of conspiracy theories.
I also took it for bronchitis and was fortunate that it didn’t do anything.
I suppose you are incapable of reading or just willfully ignorant. Please show in the article which includes the data where death is a side effect. Your fear porn continues to be quite nauseating and your lying continues to expose you an intellectually dishonest person.
Levaquin is a widely prescribed quinolone antibiotic that has an excellent safety profile. It is used quite a bit and there are no increased deaths and nastiness as you appear to want people to believe.
