Some 49-year-olds turned away from J&J vaccine appointments after ‘error’

A number of 49-year-olds who turned up at Croke Park for Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) Covid-19 vaccine appointments on Saturday were turned away due to being under the age of 50, the Health Service Executive (HSE) has confirmed.

A HSE spokeswoman said the National Immunisation Advisory Committe (Niac) guidelines stipulate these vaccines are “not recommended for this age group [under 50] at present”.

“When this error was identified we immediately made every effort to contact those affected by phone and text to advise them not to attend their appointment today… We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused,” she added.

Niac issued new advice for the Janssen and AstraZeneca vaccines last Monday, clearing the way in principle for their use among people aged 40 to 49, so long as they give clear consent.

These vaccines were to be offered if no mRNA jabs were available and people were permitted to reject the vaccines and wait for an mRNA shot if preferred. Previously the Committee had advised these vaccines would be used only in people aged 50 and over.

Not recommended for people under 50! A guy with a constitutional conservative radio talk show has been pimping the J&J vaccine. Many of his listeners are below 50 including me. Is he aware of this? I’m just saying.

Croke Park was the site of a massacre in 1920, during the Irish war of independence. In the middle of a game of Gaelic football, an Irish version of football, British troops stormed into the stadium and shot it up, killing and wounding players and spectators.

So much science!

No one knows what or why they are doing things, but they think they do. 🤔

We have front line health care relatives in this age bracket, who were told to wait for this one shot vaccine to be marketed.

...so long as they give clear consent..

What in flaming Hades does THAT mean?!

Everyone else doesn't have to provide it?

What the heck otherwise kind is there?!

Is thus why primary care providers aren't being given vaccines to distribute? 5hry tend to be a lot fussier about getting clear consent?

One word: China.

Ancient nation which has spread its tentacles into the rest of the world.

The word “puppetmaster” comes to mind.
