Johnson & Johnson finds issue with COVID vaccine batch, 15m. doses ruined
Jerusalem Post via Reuters ^ | 4/1/2021

Posted on 04/01/2021 2:45:47 AM PDT by EBH

Johnson & Johnson said on Wednesday it had found a problem with a batch of the drug substance for its COVID-19 vaccine being produced by Emergent Biosolutions, and said the batch did not advance to the final fill-and-finish stage.

J&J did not say how many vaccine doses the batch would have produced. The New York Times reported that about 15 million doses were ruined, without citing a source

The Times said that workers had conflated ingredients for the J&J vaccine and a coronavirus vaccine developed by AstraZeneca Plc, which is produced at the same plant, several weeks ago.

The manufacturing misstep follows manufacturing issues at J&J, which is seen as one of the most important COVID-19 vaccines globally, because its vaccine is a single dose and requires relatively little special handling. J&J said manufacturing was on track.

J&J did not directly respond to a question about the number of doses ruined, only responding with a statement saying that the batch being produced at Emergent Biosolutions’ site in Baltimore did not meet quality standards and did not advance to the fill-and-finish stage, which is handled by another company.

Bottom line. The defective batch was discovered and destroyed before ever leaving the factory. Well done, J&J.

“Bottom line. The defective batch was discovered and destroyed before ever leaving the factory. Well done, J&J.”

I agree. Where I work once the manufacturer says it’s good, we take their word for it and never test again until we put it to use - despite continually getting burned by this ‘process’.

Glad J&J didn’t just take the word of a company in Baltimore full of Trump-haters.

The defective batch...

There are no coincidences. Not buying it being defective at this point.

Could it have been spoiled by "anti-vaxers"? Maybe. Just as believable to me as an article telling me it was defective.

Quality control is an important part of any production line, especially in the medical pharmaceutical field.

Quality control fail in a major US pharmaceutical company. Maybe I was wrong to wine about the battery I just bought for my car because it was “made in China”.

No rDNA gene therapy for 15 million people this week...

Hint: the JnJ and az “vaccines” are gene therapy experiments. (That literally create gmo humans)

Btw - why on earth would these 2 vaccines be made in the same factory.

Horrible risk management...

Would like to think this period in history will be looked back upon with the same disgust we now look back on the period when eugenics was promoted by the “best and brightest”

First do no harm seems to be as neglected as our constitution.

I'd like to think the same thing. Privately almost to a person all my friends and acquaintances say they've had enough of this b.s. Publicly I think very few of us speak up and actively resist the Karens.

Therein lies the problem.
