BREAKING: US health advisers recommend Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines over J&J shot because of rare but serious blood clot side effect - AP

Okay, I’m getting old so maybe I’m missing something. But I could find no mention at the link of who those “US health advisers” are. Are they recognized leaders in their field? Or are they just a couple of guys in a basement somewhere?
Been saying this for close to 2 years. Why would you get a jab from a company that multiple class action lawsuits when almost 90% of their products are defective? THey have no business being in the vaxx industry.
Correct!
did they say “harder daddy” tooo???
I am very sorry for your loss.
J&J was already under fire for the baby powder lawsuits (claims that talc causes cancer) so they could not afford to line the pockets of those making the decisions.
They were given a year to pony up and did not.
So they are out of consideration for the continuing wave of “boosters”.
The J&J vax is NOT based on mRNA, that’s why the CDC has treated like the proverbial “red headed stepchild” since it was available.
I’m going to get the J&J next wk. I’m on blood thinner b/o h/o blood clots.
Did J&J not grease enough palms compared to the other vaxx makers?
I am very sorry to hear about your sister.
My condolences.
Sure glad I’m already on blood thinners!
CDC panel recommends Pfizer or Moderna vaccines over Johnson & Johnson shot
By The Associated PressUpdated December 16, 2021, 1 hour ago
Most Americans should be given the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines instead of the Johnson & Johnson shot that can cause rare but serious blood clots, U.S. health advisers recommended Thursday.
The strange clotting problem has caused nine confirmed deaths after J&J vaccinations — while the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines don’t come with that risk and also appear to be more effective, advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
It’s an unusual move and the CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, must decide whether to accept the panel’s advice.
Until now the U.S. has treated all three COVID-19 vaccines available to Americans as an equal choice, since large studies found they all offered strong protection and early supplies were limited. J&J’s vaccine initially was welcomed as a single-dose option that could be especially important for hard-to-reach groups like homeless people who might not get the needed second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna options.
But the CDC’s advisers said Thursday that it was time to recognize a lot has changed since vaccines began rolling out a year ago. More than 200 million Americans are considered fully vaccinated, including about 16 million who got the J&J shot.
This is a breaking news update. A previous version is below.
A government advisory panel is meeting Thursday to determine if any restrictions are needed for the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine because of rare but serious blood clots.
A strange clotting problem prompted the U.S. to temporarily halt the single-dose J&J shots last April while scientists investigated. Eventually regulators decided the benefits of a one-and-done vaccine outweighed what was considered a very rare risk — as long as recipients were warned.
While it’s still rare, the Food and Drug Administration told health care providers this week that more cases have occurred since the spring. They occur most in women between 30 and 49 — about once for every 100,000 doses administered, the FDA said.
Overall, the government has confirmed 54 clot cases in both women and men, and nine deaths that included two men, Dr. Isaac See of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. He said two additional deaths are suspected.
The CDC decides how vaccines should be used in the U.S., and its influential advisory committee is deliberating whether the newest safety data warrants any new limits on J&J’s vaccine.
More than 200 million Americans are fully vaccinated, about 16 million of them with the J&J vaccine. The other two vaccines used in the U.S. — from Pfizer and Moderna — are made differently and regulators say they don’t come with this clot risk. And unlike in the spring when vaccine supplies were tight, Pfizer and Moderna shots now are plentiful in the U.S.
COVID-19 itself can cause potentially deadly blood clots. But the suspect culprit for the vaccine-related kind is a rogue immune response linked to both the J&J shot and a COVID-19 vaccine made by AstraZeneca. Both of those vaccines are made similarly, using a cold virus known as an adenovirus, although AstraZeneca’s shot is not used in the U.S.
The FDA this week warned that another dose of the J&J vaccine shouldn’t be given to anyone who developed a clot following either a J&J or AstraZeneca shot.
At issue is a weird kind of blood clot that forms in unusual places, such as veins that drain blood from the brain, and in patients who also develop abnormally low levels of the platelets that form clots. Symptoms of the unusual clots, dubbed “thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome,” include severe headaches a week or two after the J&J vaccination — not right away — as well as abdominal pain and nausea.
Several other countries already have recommended age restrictions for both the AstraZeneca and J&J vaccines, or that preference be given to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

Pfizer's History of Fraud, Corruption, and Using Nigerian Children as 'Human Guinea Pigs'
Way into the billions of $$$ dollars all totaled.
I have actually heard better outcomes from J & J people
Is this just string arming for Pfizer to get more $$$$?
Sounds like it. It’s all over MSLYINGMedia....

Also reported that J&J is little help against Omicron and that is not all that effective against other variants after 3 months. Now clots. The political/medical establishment doesn’t own much stock in J&J.
So sorry for your loss. An extended family member of mine dropped dead from a blood clot a week after his “vaccine.” He was 50 and left behind a disabled wife and 2 adolescent kids. It’s a crime what the CDC is trying to do to us.
>My first thought...Next we will hear that if you had the J&J, you must get a booster and it MUST be Moderna or Pfizer and you will no longer be considered fully vaccinated until you get the booster.<
Got J&J in March. As they say I’m “one and done.”
