* Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine was shown to be 66% effective at preventing mild and moderate infections, and 85% effective at preventing severe disease, in trial results the company announced on Friday.
* It doesn't appear to be as effective as Moderna or Pfizer's mRNA vaccines, though there are big differences in how the shots were tested.
* It also has the benefits of being cheap and relatively easy to manufacture and distribute. It only requires one shot in the arm.
An experimental coronavirus vaccine from Johnson & Johnson is 66% effective at preventing moderate to severe COVID-19, according to new trial data the company released on Friday.
At first glance, the vaccine doesn't appear to be as stellar as authorized vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, but it does have a few perks.
First and foremost: J&J's vaccine is just one shot in the arm, while both Pfizer and Moderna's are administered as 2 doses, given several weeks apart. Second, it can be refrigerated for months, making transportation and storage far less of a challenge. Third, it is cheaper and easier to produce.
"Our goal all along has been to create a simple, effective solution for the largest number of people possible, and to have maximum impact to help end the pandemic," Johnson & Johnson Chief Executive Officer Alex Gorsky said in a statement when his company's results were released.
During a call Friday morning at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the US' top infectious disease expert, stressed the importance of adding "yet another platform, another candidate into the mix in our global efforts against this extraordinary pandemic."
"This has really important domestic and global public health implications," Fauci said of the J&J vaccine, noting that "it is one shot,"

An easy way to compare is to show how people have died from the vaccines....
After your second dose will you be immune?
Can you go out without a mask?
Can you eat in a restaurant?
Can you sing in church?
Can you go to public school?
Or will you be in the same boat with us HCQ Zinc advocates?
Pick your poison non vaccine.
RE: Is J&J an mdna vaccine too or a different technology?
See Post #8 above in answer to your question.
I would agree with you.
Better do some more research

Welcome to the world of human Guinea pigs!
Tinnitus is also a sign that youâve been to close to the speakers at a rock concert. ;-)
What?
That is what bugs me the most about all these vaccine.
“Johnson & Johnson: ...... That protection may get even better as time goes on, though, as zero COVID-19 cases were reported in patients who’d been vaccinated for 49 days or more. “
Thanks for posting that info.
Friendly reminder that Johnson and Johnson was found guilty of knowing asbestos was in their baby powder. Cost them $29 million.*****************************
Pfizer has a long list of lawsuits, Zantac being the latest. Good to know you do your research before making your accusations
Iâve gone over a year without getting it.
LOL..I can rule that one out...but it can be so many different things. Going to the store tomorrow and get B12 to see if it helps while I wait for my appointment. I am even going to buy some garlic and try that old folk remedy
âI had dose 1 of Moderna today.....glad to have it.â

And youâve had the best, IMHO. Congratulations.
Me too and I haven’t taken squat.

Y[and my]MMV.
NCBI at NIH has the full sequencing of Corona Virus 19. Please stop with the utter nonsense of virus never being isolated. It is completely untrue, and you are either willfully ignorant or a malicious liar. It is horrifying.
Omg, that reminds me of old time remedies, for sure. The reason that garlic cures so many things is that no one, and I mean NO ONE, will come close to you! It was the old time social distancing cure.
