* 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,"

I’m working on building my natural immunity. I don’t follow the rules.
Prove it. Give me detailed study, etc.. What they have done may be something based only of assumptions and not fact. So Prove It!
The common cold does not kill people. SARS does. With a fatality rate approaching 5% in the elderly.
There are no microchips injected. Another conspiracy theory. another lemming following talking points that are incorrect.
Are you saying this won’t change my dna and turn me into reptile? Damn.
The vaccines are neither expiremtal nor investigational. They have undergone all phases of testing. Please see Seek and Find well detailed analysis of above. Please, stop the intentional dissemination of obviously inaccurate data to drive your agenda.
You cannot catch CoVID from either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.
“Are you saying this won’t change my dna and turn me into reptile? Damn.”
************************************
Into a reptile? No friggin’ way. Perhaps into a gerbil in a small percentage of cases.
I see what you did there!
I know, disappointing isn’t it! Good to hear from you. I keep you in my prayers.
Prove what? You are more than able to research on your own — you just appear lazy and want to be spoon fed data.
There is plenty out there that is accurate and reliable, whatever I give you, you will dismiss out of hand for reasons based on quackery and conspiracy.
Very sad.
Can the family get AG Paxton involved?
DING...DING...DING...Winning question!!!
Medicine, IMHO, has moved way too far into some Statistical Space(s).
I’m sure plenty of oldsters have died from complications of getting a cold.
Fauxcy’s gain of function WuHu Flu is clearly worse.
Big Pharma could profit from “Common” Cold, even partial, immunity if they found/developed some “killer” medication(s) .
I had dose 1 of Moderna today.....glad to have
it.*************
A new technology that has never been effective.
21K actual injections over a 7 month period for side effects. Normally a new technology is tried 5-15 years on animals before given to humans. I’m sure Big-Pharma would never put profits over your well being. Seriously, what is wrong with you people? Sometimes I wonder if this vaccine was approved just to clean up the gene pool
Yeah, no one seems to have even expressed theories as to how long the vaccines will be effective in preventing death by COVID.
Bless your heart. How many times have you thought you’ve possibly caught China Flu, over the past year?
Have you ever actually had it, after all of these close calls?
Time will tell 😱
I wonder what happens if people don’t get the second dose. Your post made me think about that.
I haven’t seen any stories/reports about such, though.
