FDA advisers unanimously sign off on Johnson & Johnson's single-shot Covid-19 vaccine: Here's what happens next
ABC News via MSN ^ | 02/26/2021

An independent advisory panel of infectious disease experts, doctors and scientists voted unanimously to recommend the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson for emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration, a step closer to making a third COVID-19 vaccine available to Americans.

The recommendation paves the way for official emergency authorization by the FDA, allowing the vaccine to be provided to Americans while the company continues to study it. If that happens Friday night or over the weekend, some 4 million doses would be expected to start shipping as early as Monday.

"If the FDA [authorizes] the use of this new vaccine, we would plan to roll out as quickly as Johnson & Johnson can make the vaccine," President Joe Biden said Thursday.

The federal government will still determine how many doses are delivered to each state and states will determine which populations are eligible to be vaccinated based on available supply.

Anthony Fauci, one of the top infectious disease doctors in the country and a senior advisor to the White House on COVID-19 response, said he’s looking forward to the FDA review of the J&J vaccine but suggested its authorization is a foregone conclusion.

“We now have three highly effective vaccines. Importantly, each of them are very effective against severe disease and virtually all have them say that you look at the data and it's clear that you get essentially no hospitalizations, or deaths. And this is very good news,” he said in a briefing with reporters on Friday.

Here's what to know:

The vaccine requires only one shot, with 20 million doses due before April.

Unlike Pfizer and Moderna, the vaccine developed by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, only requires one shot for the recipient to be considered fully immunized.

It’s up to Americans to decide whether they will be masked...

Government is the disease

You are the cure

99.997% of the time

Which makes you more effective than Moderna...

‘Can you explain how one-million health care professionals have all been suborned to spread or at least acquise in this vast conspiracy theory?’

this argument has limitations; yes, normally, medical conspiracies (as with any conspiracies involving large numbers) would be subject to scrutiny and finished off...howeer, we are not in normal times...

covid fear rules the day, and it rules what is allowed to be seen and heard from the elites; in fact we do not need the rank and file medical profession to be implicit, we just require a select group (mostly administrative types) to spout the covid fear orthodoxy and then go and ridicule their fellows in medicine who refuse to toe the line...look at what has in fact happened; a single medical ‘expert’ named Tony Fauci has by and large dictated what we hear and think about this virus, and what to do about it; his word is the law of covid land...

Close, but no COVID-19 virus in the vaccine:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/different-types-of-covid-19-vaccines/art-20506465

“Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine. This type of vaccine uses genetically engineered mRNA to give your cells instructions for how to make a harmless piece of the S protein found on the surface of the COVID-19 virus. After vaccination, your immune cells begin making the S protein pieces and displaying them on cell surfaces. This causes your body to create antibodies. If you become infected with the COVID-19 virus, these antibodies will fight the virus.

After the mRNA helps your cells make the protein pieces, the mRNA is immediately broken down. It never enters the nucleus of your cells, where your DNA is kept. Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines use mRNA.”

I am thinking what happens next is my JNJ stock goes up $10. And Becton Dickinson sells 100 million more needles.
