Johnson & Johnson vaccine recommended for emergency use authorization by FDA
Boston Herald ^ | 17 hrs ago | Alexi Cohan

Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot coronavirus vaccine has been recommended for emergency use authorization by an independent advisory committee, setting it up to get the green light from the FDA and mark the third vaccine available in the United States.

Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine protects against COVID-19, according to an analysis by U.S. regulators Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021, that sets the stage for a final decision on a new and easier-to-use shot to help tame the pandemic.

The Food and Drug Administration’s scientists confirmed that overall, it’s about 66% effective and also said J&J’s shot, one that could help speed vaccinations by Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine protects against COVID-19, according to an analysis by U.S. regulators Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021, that sets the stage for a final decision on a new and easier-to-use shot to help tame the pandemic.

The Food and Drug Administration’s scientists confirmed that overall, it’s about 66% effective and also said J&J’s shot, one that could help speed vaccinations by requiring just one dose instead of two, is safe to use.

This could be a step in he right direction for people (like myself) who want only a one shot vaccine. And don't really trust Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.

The JnJ vaccine could be approved by the FDA this weekend.-Tom

The JnJ and Astra Zeneca “vaccines” are full on recombinant DNA experiments.

They are both Adenovirus vector “vaccines.”

This is how they work:
- remove some viral dna from the adenovirus, replace it with the spike protein gene, and some initiation sequences, called a “cassette”
- grow the virus , in a human cell line, often derived from fetal tissue
- infect/inject people with this crippled Franken-virus (side note: people that avoid gmo food for some reason want to be injected with a gmo virus, to avoid catching a disease that is very treatable.)
- the virus injects its recombinant dna into the “patient’s” cells, who then has the dna and control sequences for the genes in the cassette, the sars-cov2 spike protein.
- then the patient’s immune system creates antibodies to the foreign protein.

This is full-on gene therapy.

That seems to be a rather low effectiveness. Isn't the double shot method in the 80% range effectiveness after the 2nd dosage?

Two questions, please:

Am I correct in that most traditional vaccines use “dead” pathogens to stimulate the body’s defenses? And if that is so, why not just use dead COVID-19 viruses in vaccines, instead of messing around with DNA and RNA?

‘This is full-on gene therapy.’

well, if you really wanted to decribe the way any medicine works, and when you approach it with a predetermined anti position, you could make it sound pretty diabolical by detailing all the nitty-gritties...

some use attenuated pathogens...

Yes- traditional vaccines are dead pieces of viral protein.

Your body identifies them as foreign, and makes antibodies.

Why not this path?

A really tough question...
It was tried on other related coronavirus and failed. (Mers &sars)

Coronavirus is likely to cause ADE. Antibody-dependent enhancement.

This effectively is fatal for someone that is vaccinated- that is then exposed to the virus in the wild.

Perhaps this mechanism reduces the chances for ADE, my speculation.

Also - these vaccines have “other new ingredients” that increase uncertainty.

Bottom line- I don’t know why this approach is being taken, but it is dangerous, in my opinion.

This adenovirus gene therapy approach is turned down by people with severe genetic disease, due to the risk. (hemoglobin mutation) See B thalassemia.

A post here yesterday linked to the explanation that the J&J was tested in South America where there was a more aggressive strain of the virus. The article said the effectiveness of the J&J is being rated higher now. (I forgot exactly what percentage so I won’t put down a number).

Feel free to accept all the gene therapy you want.

Just don’t hide what it is while gearing up to make everyone do it.

For me -I like the genes I have, thank you very much. Based on an informed decision, I will pass on this genetic experiment.

I was under the impression that the other two Pfizer and Moderna were more like gene therapy, and Noone knows the long term effects it might have? Whereas the j and j one was more like the flu shots we get every year? I thought that was why folks were waiting for the j and j one?

Because there arent any coronavirus vaccines....
Otherwise we’d have defeated the common cold

I am so sorry you don’t seem to understand what genes, DNA and molecular biology is all about. But what is for sure is that everything you just wrote in your post is so incorrect it would be impossible to be any more wrong.

But I admire the die hard conspiracy folks like yourself.

The moderna and Pfizer are 95% 14 days after the second injection and recent literature shows 92% at preventing disease and transmission.

Btw - please feel free to share the story of how any other medicine approved for use in otherwise healthy people uses recombinant DNA in vivo.

I would love to hear it told in your spookiest Irish brogue.

From the excerpted article-The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which operates on an adenovirus vector platform and does not require ultra-cold storage, was found to be 66% effective in reducing moderate to severe coronavirus and 85% effective against the most serious illness.

Emergency Use Authorization is preventing the cheap treatment of Covid19. Vaccines cannot be administered when other viable treatments exist. Vaccines mean big money to Big Pharma. Cheap, existing treatments don’t.

That is what was behind the bogus ‘trials’ where zinc was left out, or the dosages were wrong, or the drugs were applied at the wrong time of the virus. All to discredit treatments that would prove viable.

India didn’t have to face Big Pharma, and their deaths per 100k are double digits, while the US is quadruple digits (Wikipedia).

Are you sure? I thought it was the Oxford/Astrazeneca Vaccine that was made differently, from an ordinary cold virus rather than recombinant DNA. Do I have the Oxford and JNJ confused?

Oxford uses a weakened chimp adenovirus, JnJ a human adenovirus
