Johnson & Johnson jab becomes the fourth inoculation to receive green light in EU.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) on Thursday approved the COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine developed and produced by Johnson & Johnson.
The vaccine became the fourth jab to get the green light from the 27-nation bloc.

J&J uses the same technology as Astrazeneca’s covid-19 vaccine that they are banning all over Europe because of blood clotting issues.
As more than half a dozen European nations halt distribution of AstraZeneca-COVID jabs over concerns about potentially serious blood clots, Europe's top medical regulator in Brussels has just given Johnson & Johnson's COVID jab the green light.
The JNJ jab, which is set to become the first single-shot jab to be approved on the Continent, received the green light from the Amsterdam-based European Medicines Agency - Brussels' top medicinal regulator and Europe's counterpart to the FDA - on Thursday. It's expected that the European Commission - which has final say on approval - will concur and deliver its blessing later on Thursday.
Members of the panel that reviewed the jab said they would recommed the vaccine be approved to treat all adults over the age of 18 following what the organization described as a "thorough evaluation." Unsurprisingly, J&J’s data found the vaccine satisfied the criteria for efficacy, safety and quality.
"With this latest positive opinion, authorities across the European Union will have another option to combat the pandemic and protect the lives and health of their citizens," said Emer Cooke, EMA’s executive director.
In a statement, the EMA said JNJ's jab is 67% effective at preventing symptoms, which is in line with figures touted by the company and the US (like its rivals, JNJ tested its jab with expedited multi-phase double-blind trials).
the only safe vaccines for Covid are Moderna and Pfizer’s MRNA vaccines.
The EU has approved 4 vaccines, 3 of those are from US Companies....
Trump and his Operation Warp Drive were total failures according to Liberals.....insert sarcasm at your leisure.
RE: The EU has approved 4 vaccines, 3 of those are from US Companies....
One of the 4 has been SUSPENDED by several EU countries due to safety concerns after 3 months of use : ASTRA ZENECA’s

So now the EU has only 3 vaccines all from US Companies...
We bailed them out in WW I, WW II, all thru the cold war via NATO and now during Covid.....
A little appreciation and gratitude would be welcome.
My wife took the J&J vaccine on Tuesday. She was sick with flu symptoms for a full day. She feels better today, but still has some body aches.
The AZ virus is based on chimpanzee strains, the J&J is not. Apples and oranges.
Although not a vaccine, HCQ+zinc has been 100% effective this past year for me and 20-25 friends and family, a very socially active group.
AstraZeneca’s vaccine as well as Johnson and Johnson’s uses adenovirus-vectored technology, which is completely 100% different than Mrna based vaccines like Moderna and Pfizer.
The az vaccine hasn’t been ‘banned’ anywhere. Temporarily paused as a precaution.Will probably be resumed soon. I’ve had my 1st AZ shot 7 weeks ago. Expecting 2nd shortly.
Many European countries ban AstraZeneca vaccine

this article uses the word ban.
It does indeed. Wrongly.
