The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has agreed to extend the shelf life on Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot COVID-19 vaccine from four-and-a-half months to six months.
In a July 28 concurrence letter (pdf), the FDA said Johnson & Johnson had provided sufficient data to support the extension of the company’s vaccine to six months, including for already expired batches, provided they have been stored within the required temperature range of between 36–46 degrees Fahrenheit (2–8 degrees Celsius).
Johnson & Johnson said in a statement that it is “pleased” with the FDA’s decision, adding that the pharmaceutical firm had provided the agency with data from ongoing stability assessment studies that have demonstrated the vaccine remains stable at six months if stored at the required temperature.
Health authorities in a number of states have warned that they may be forced to throw out thousands of doses of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine absent an extension.
The FDA has been reviewing expiration dates on all three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States, as manufacturers have continued to test batches for stability following their roll-out. Pfizer and Moderna’s two-dose vaccines have a shelf life of six months.
Johnson & Johnson’s one-and-done vaccine was highly anticipated because it could be stored at relatively high temperatures and so facilitated distribution, particularly in developing countries with patchy cold-storage infrastructure.
“A single-shot vaccine that provides this level of protection represents an important tool in the global fight against COVID-19, as we strive to help end this deadly pandemic,” the company said in a statement.
But use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has been hurt by several rare potential side effects.
In April, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended states temporarily halt using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine out of caution

This Dr. thinks breakthrough cases are because spoiled vaccine was given, the people who got it didn't develop immunity. He disagrees with Robert Malone that break throughs are ADE.

(from the article):" The FDA has been reviewing expiration dates on all three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States,
as
manufacturers have continued to test batches for stability following their roll-out. (Emphasis mine)
Pfizer and Moderna’s two-dose vaccines have a shelf life of six months."
metmom :" I still wouldn’t trust it even with FDA approval...
.. IOW, it is strictly a political move, not one based on the welfare of the populace. "
(My Comment)- The decision to announce the *Vaxxine* AFTER Biden's inauguration proved that the Big Pharma 'jab' is a political move.
The decision by the manufacturers (and with no FDA testing) to extend the life of their product is purely a financial move; there is no other verification.
And since all the Big Pharmas are already indemnified from any civil or criminal liability arising from their *Vaxxine*,
there is no liability with which they are to be concerned.
The "best used by date" .. is now irrelevant ! How convenient !

Thinking about taking the J&J. Anyone else here have any feedback?

dynoman :" FDA did recommend not testing for immunity post vax on May 19,
which is the same day they changed storage and handling requirements per Pfizer."
How convenient is this timing ?
Coincidence, or not ?
I don't believe in coincidence when it comes to politics and money !

I wouldn’t trust the so-called COVID-vax even with FDA approval either because after all the lies that have already been told, how could anyone be certain that the FDA is simply one more corrupt tentacle of our unelected Deep State bureaucracy doing the bidding of its paymasters by speeding up its approval of the COVID vaccine before it can be properly tested and put through its paces according to normal procedures????

Maybe there is a lack of customers/ consumers?

That’s right.
Considering the circumstances, FDA approval means nothing.
It doesn’t verify that it’s safe. It just verifies taht the FDA approved it.
And given their track record of approving and denying medications and vaccines, it almost appears there’s no rhyme or reason for it.
Until you follow the money trail
