No Good Vaccine Deed
The Wall Street Journal ^ | Jan. 29, 2021 | The Editorial Board

Posted on 01/30/2021 10:14:15 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

Johnson & Johnson and Novavax this week reported that their vaccines were effective in clinical trials, and what fortunate timing. The U.S. urgently needs a supply boost. But at this juncture it’s also worth noting how former Operation Warp Speed chief Moncef Slaoui positioned the Biden Administration for a vaccine triumph.

One of Mr. Slaoui’s inspired ideas was to diversify the federal government’s vaccine bets with six manufacturers when nobody knew which, if any, would work. The vaccine candidates used different technologies—Moderna and Pfizer -BioNTech (mRNA), J&J and AstraZeneca (adenovirus), and Novavax and Sanofi -GSK (recombinant protein).

The J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines were hobbled by trial delays in the fall. But J&J reported Friday that its vaccine was 66% effective at protecting people from moderate to severe disease in a global trial, and 85% against severe illness. Early trial data from AstraZeneca suggests similar efficacy. Novavax reported Thursday its shot appears to be nearly 90% effective.

The Johnson and Johnson AstraZeneca vaccines are manufactured using aborted fetal tissue.

For that to happen, the Biden team would have to have some knowledge of science, technology, and logistics.

Being the Biden team, they are the very definition of cretins.

They are slime.
They are pond scum.
They are excrement.
And that’s on their very best days.

Bastille the b*stards.

Yes, the Johnson and Johnson AstraZeneca vaccines are manufactured using aborted fetal tissue. The others use them for testing/quality assurance.

Read up on the subject please.

“The Johnson and Johnson AstraZeneca vaccines are manufactured using aborted fetal tissue.”

I don’t think so. Provide information.

Blue Shield will oversee California’s troubled COVID-19 vaccination effort

By MELODY GUTIERREZ, JOHN MYERS
JAN. 27, 2021 3:47 PM

SACRAMENTO — Following a shaky rollout of the state’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts, advisors to Gov. Gavin Newsom have struck a far-reaching agreement with Blue Shield of California for the health insurance company to oversee the distribution of vaccine doses to counties, pharmacies and private healthcare providers.

The decision marks a sharp turn away from a more decentralized process that has been criticized for inconsistency across regions of the state and sluggishness in its effort to vaccinate Californians. It will also mean the outsourcing of tasks that, until now, have been overseen by state and local government officials.

I don’t think this is accurate either.

Thank you, Jeff.

Yes. This documentation you provide proves my point.

Your statement:

“The Johnson and Johnson AstraZeneca vaccines are manufactured using aborted fetal tissue.”

is false.

No you’re mistaken. aborted fetal tissue is not used.

ooops, you are correct, my thinking was only going towards the ones that are currently available...Pfizer, Moderna.

The others are not within my scope right now.

my mind substitued Moderna, Pfizer the ones currently available, with the ones you were talking about. Ones that are not currently available. Sorry

This is is a great resource, Jeff. Thanks for posting it. I will save it.

So FYI, both of you are mistaking “using aborted fetal tissue” with abortion derived cell lines.

Blame the previous when things go bad; claim the good things that the previous did.

Be careful. You are saying inaccurate things. Cells lines are much different than fetal tissues. It is not a distinction without difference. By engaging in hyperbole to prove your point, you actually end up bringing your credibility into question.
