FDA review of Johnson & Johnson booster finds potential benefit in second dose, with limited data
Washington Post ^ | Oct 13, 2021 | Carolyn Y. Johnson

Food and Drug Administration scientists found potential benefit to a second dose of the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine in a data review that was released Wednesday and that depended heavily on the company’s analysis, suggesting a booster of that shot was perhaps more warranted than additional doses of other coronavirus inoculations.

From the dawn of the vaccine campaign, many experts said they believed the one-shot Johnson & Johnson regimen would ultimately require a second shot, and the documents pave the way for a panel of experts who advise the FDA to discuss Friday the timing, necessity and safety of a booster dose.

“Although not independently confirmed by FDA from datasets, summaries of the data suggest there may be a benefit in a second dose administered approximately 2 months after the primary dose,” FDA staff wrote. Typically, the agency does its own independent review of data, but much of the data was not submitted in time, meaning large parts of the review depend on the company’s analysis.....

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine also carries a warning about a rare risk of clotting events.

Rather have the FDA address natural immunity instead of bowing to COVID hysteria with terms like "potential benefit". Also should be addressed are 2nd dose risks, I would rather get covid than clotting.

before the FDA became a criminal organization,
MEDICINE was interested in benefit/risk ratio.

but the FDA could care less about risks.

THIS FDA would mandate DES for all children;
and Thallidomide for everyone without testing.
THIS FDA was paid off to ignore risks and to
MANDATE false EUAs by taking out REAL cures,
and threatening any physician or surgeon who
actually cared about their patients.

There should be grand juries and hangings.

Data? Who needs stinkin’ data. You'll get plenty of real world data once it is released to the best beta test group of all — the world population. Oh and force everyone to get it.

We are less that year in on this crap, No long term studies or
long term adverse effects yet. It takes a minimum of 8 years to adequately test and study.

Indeed, the FDA is horrible. I didn’t realize that when I got a Pfizer shot after FDA gave it more than provisional approval. Day after I got shot, Pfizer CEO appointed head of FDA.

However, I never had the slightest side effect from shot, not even sore injection site or swelling of any kind. That was months ago, so I’m OK, but am very healthy to begin with.

I ordered and am waiting for book at AMZ:
“FDA’s Betrayal of America “
