J&J has been held up, awaiting approval (from the Government) on its two main US suppliers. The Catalent fill and finish (Packaging) facility in Bloomington, Ind. has recently been approved (they reportedly have tens of millions of finished doses on hand between their J&J and AZ contracts, ready to ship). J&J's US supplier for the vaccine material itself, Maryland-based Emergent BioSolutions, has not yet received it's Mother-May-I certification from the Biden Administration. Must be capitalism's fault.
I got my 2nd vaccine (Moderna) 2 weeks ago today, so I should be good to go.
“Our immune system detects elements from the vaccine that are not supposed to be residing in our body and builds a response. We may, or may not, generate antibodies to that particular injected pathogen, but either way our immune system is now damaged by the vaccine and because our immune system is now under siege, we are left vulnerable to other pathogens, especially ones that are of the same SARS or MERS family. This would include viruses associated with the common cold.”
Fool me once... and I don’t get another vaccine

Nearly 3 million getting a Trump vaccine in a single day! Wonderful!
President Trump’s vision of safe and effective vaccines saving American lives is being realized faster and better than anyone would have imagined. This is what effective leadership looks like! I miss President Trump. God bless President Trump!
Got an email link from Medstar Health (in Maryland) to schedule my COVID vaccine. Made an appointment and immediately realized I picked the wrong location. Cancelled it. I cannot reschedule. Then I read the FAQ. FAQ say if you cancel, you are shit out of luck. F-you, Medstar.
Compare USA vaccinations with FIASCO in Italy. Very sad!!
Italy’s version of the Food and Drug Administration recommended that the vaccine’s use be limited to “individuals between 18 and 55 years” because of questions about how well the vaccine worked for older people.
As a result, Italy moved early on to vaccinate teachers within the age range, but also lawyers, prosecutors and hospital administrative staff. Older people, vulnerable and frustrated, went unvaccinated, while Italy’s death rates remained high. On Tuesday, 551 people died of the virus, the most since January.
