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.

Knowing more and more people with breakthrough cases, all relatively mild and short lived “sickness”. My daughter had breakthrough covid (JJ one dose, not boosted). 2 days where she felt sick, would have gone back to work day 4 if they would have let her. My mother breakthrough Moderna. Was hospitalized 4 days only because she has lymphoma and had recent surgery. Never needed oxygen, did have pneumonia (bacterial not covid), needed an IV and recovered nicely. She was happy that she had the vaccine, she's 88.

So the absolute risk reduces from what to what?

They won’t tell you that because the risks are so laughably low.

Protection against Omicron, but at what cost to your overall health?

I can’t wait to see what the impact of the 6th, 7th, and 8th poison.....i mean booster shots are. I have an idea because of information from friends in high places but the reaction from those who have fully bought in should be pretty interesting.

"Protection against hospitalization jumped from 63 percent to 85 percent after a second J&J shot . . . "

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds like they are saying that 37% of people with the J&J vaccine are eventually hospitalized, and 15% are hospitalized after a second dose. I thought overall hospitalization rates for the virus are under 6%. What are they comparing the 63% and 85% numbers to?

It really is interesting how few questions the large majority have about what they are putting into their bodies. Never thought i would see the day where what the govt and big pharma are selling is just willingly lapped up by the large majority of our population.

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

Got J&J last March. One and done they said. As far as I’m concerned, they are right.

Same story here. No booster, immune system enhancements, plus weekly Ivermectin protocol.

However one thing that having the J&J does is give you a little cardboard card that lets you into restaurants, sporting events and concerts in Blue states with dictatorial government officals.

Got the card. Never had to use it here in rural Nevada.

Bull crap. I know of 6 vaxxed couples that have China virus right now. Guess what, they got it from one of the couples wives who just had the sniffles. I was at that party and yep I got it too.
Tired of all the pro vax by on this site. You blindly follow the pack of vaxers yet every one seems to get the virus still.

J&J has no booster, right??? So no matter what they want to put mRNA into you that has a 75 YEAR secrecy protection?

J&J has never given the level of protection of either mRNA vaccines from Pfizer or Moderna. It’s better than nothing.
