J&J vaccine and booster provide high protection against Omicron: study
NY Post ^ | December 30, 2021 11:28am | Ben Kesslen

People who get both Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine and booster shot have high protection levels against the Omicron variant, a new study out of South Africa says.

The study released Thursday in pre-print has yet to be peer-reviewed but is promising news for those who received the one-dose vaccine six to nine months ago and who also get a booster from the company.

Protection against hospitalization jumped from 63 percent to 85 percent after a second J&J shot, according to the study conducted in November and December among 69,000 vaccinated health care workers.

“This data is important given the increased reliance on the [Johnson & Johnson] vaccine in Africa,” the authors wrote, who conducted the research in 350 vaccination centers across all nine South African provinces. The study also says data reveals “the ability of Omicron to escape antibody neutralization after a single dose.”

“This adds to our growing body of evidence which shows that the effectiveness of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine remains strong and stable over time, including against circulating variants such as Omicron and Delta,” said Mathai Mammen, the global head of Janssen Research & Development, which Johnson & Johnson owns.

2 weeks ago Biden and the CDC recommended not getting the J&J vaccine.

If it's a pre-print, guess who wrote the study.

Except in those “rare” cases where the vax prevents nothing. Which is “rare”.

They never approved the AZ vax either. Obviously they want everyone to get the RNA concoctions. They’re the best at population reduction.

I got the J&J jab last spring. Presently siting here recovering from getting sick. Fairly mild as far as the flu goes but not exactly what I would call a good vaccine.

Just notified by the GF that she has the CHINA VIRUS. She was tested earlier this morning. She received the Moderna vaccine (both shots) earlier this year and got the Moderna booster three weeks ago.

So that worked ... not.

She says it feels like a head cold with a lot of sinus pressure.

I haven't seen her in over four days so if I was exposed at all I don't have any symptoms. Then again, I had the CHINA VIRUS early on in 2020 and as of 6 weeks ago I still have the antibodies for it (I get tested every two months as part of a study.)

Off to drop off some flowers, soup, fruit (tangerines & bananas) and sinus congestion meds for her. She's been taking Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Quercetin along with me for the past 3+ months also, so hopefully her symptoms stay mild.

My naturally acquired Fauci/China biological warfare virus IgG antibodies (confirmed by four consecutive antibody tests several months apart) provide even more.

Just ignore all these games being cancelled with fully vaxed players getting sick.

Of for eff sakes, getting Omicron and recovering also provides protection.

I am triple vaxed.

I had Omicron and just got over it.

It ain’t that bad. Truly, it’s not even the flu bro.

A friend of mine got the Pfizer shots (2), then had a stroke. That doesn’t prove there’s a relationship, but he refuses to get another mRNA shot. He’s wondering if the J&J booster is an option?

“2 weeks ago Biden and the CDC recommended not getting the J&J vaccine.”

Thanks for posting this. So what changed in 2 weeks.

The remarks below are not aimed at your excellent questions.
They are aimed at the B$’s saying, “J&J vaccine and booster provide high protection against Omicron: study

Keep an eye on your illnesses for a form of ADE that all the previous studies predicted. You may even get your antibodies tested. It would be good to know so you don’t make the same mistake twice

"Protection against hospitalization jumped from 63 percent to 85 percent after a second J&J shot . . . “This adds to our growing body of evidence which shows that the effectiveness of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine remains strong and stable over time, including against circulating variants such as Omicron and Delta."

Doesn't the second statement contradict the first? If the vaccine is "stable over time," why the need for boosters every few months?

Moreover, they have moved the goalposts, focusing only on hospitalizations and not transmission of the disease, which is spreading wildly among both the vaccinated and unvaccinated..

What is there to protect. It’s a mild cold.

So ya have lots of the J&J vaccine left and we have to take it till you find another way to extort money from a virus.

How about we use cheap stuff that we know works. Ivermectin and Hydro. NFL is using it as a preventative and so is congress. Also the monoclonal is being denied too.
