J&J Says Vaccine Effective Against Covid, Though Weaker Against South Africa Variant | Morning Joe

  1. STUPIDITY EXPOSED: You cannot bring your own bag to certain grocery stores (Trader Joes), and the clerks must be extra careful and use gloves to touch any cash money you use, but the clerks touch every single product with their bare hands that you just handled to put in the cart or basket, doesn’t matter if you just sneezed or coughed all over your hands or the items.
    🤣🤣🤣

    1. They also change gloves after ringing you up, and wipe down surfaces between customers. Your complaint is stupid.

  2. An obvious question to research is the effectiveness of one shot of J&J vaccine plus one shot of either Pfizer or Moderna. A second question is, what about two shots of J&J?

    1. We already know the effectiveness after one shot of Pfizer and Moderna. Science doesn’t work that way. You can’t automatically assume that duplicating a shot will make it more effective if it’s not designed to be that way. You can use different mechanisms to achieve the same results, so it really depends on how this vaccine works. Considering that it doesn’t have to be stored at the same low temperatures as the other, I would guess that it is very different. I doubt that they had a chance at greater efficacy with two shots and didn’t study it already.

    2. Studies have been done, and they are all about the same after a second dose. The J & J vaccine is marginally better than the mRNA vaccines after one dose, and marginally worse after the second. J & J is filling an empty niche, those that are difficult to vaccinate.

    1. You won’t have a choice. If you’re wealthy or privileged you’l be able to get a hold of Pfizer or Moderna. Everyone else will be told that J&J is the only thing available.

    2. @elijah miller J&J isn’t even approved for use yet. I’m speculating based on how everything else works in this country. That said, you do not have a choice. Whatever vaccine is available at the place where you can get an appointment is what you get right now.

  3. 66% effective against moderate and severe symptoms doesn’t appeal to me when other companies’ two-dose solutions are at 95%.

  4. 4 It was destroyed, the earth fell; got sick, the world fell; the high peoples of the earth fell ill. 5 And the land was polluted under its inhabitants; because they violated the laws, they distorted the law, they broke the everlasting covenant. 6 For this reason the curse consumed the land, and its inhabitants were laid waste; for this cause the inhabitants of the earth were consumed, and men were diminished.
    7 The wine is lost, the vine is diseased, all the merry of heart groaned.
    8 The rejoicing of the tambourines has ceased, the noise of those rejoicing has ceased, the joy of the harp has ceased.
    9 They will not drink wine with singing; cider will be bitter to those who drink it.
    10 The city is broken by vanity; every house has been closed, so that no one can enter.
    11 There are cries for lack of wine in the streets; all joy was darkened, joy was banished from the earth.
    12 The city was desolate, and the gate was broken down with ruin.
    13 For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the peoples, like a shaken olive tree, like gleanings after the harvest.
    Isaiah 24: 4-13.

    6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not disturbed, because it is necessary that all this happens; but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be plagues, and famines, and earthquakes in different places. 8 And all this will be the beginning of pain. Matthew 24: 6-8 JESUS.

    26 “Just as it happened in the time of Noah, so it will be when the Son of man comes. 27 They ate, they drank, and they married and gave in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark; then the flood came and destroyed them all.
    28 “The same thing happened in Lot’s time: they ate and drank, bought and sold, sowed and built. 29 But on the day that Lot left ” “‘(Sodom)”‘ ”, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
    30 “So it will be on the day the Son of man is revealed. Luke 17: 26-30 JESUS

    9 And when you hear of wars and seditions (protests against their rulers), do not be alarmed; because it is necessary that these things happen first; but the end will not be immediately. 10 Then he said to them: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in different places famines and pestilences; and there will be terror and great signs from heaven.
    Luke 21: 7-11

    12 and because wickedness has multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
    13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world, for a witness to all nations; And then the end will come. Matthew 24: 12-14

    22 And if those days were not shortened, no one would be saved; but because of the elect, those days will be shortened. Matthew 24:22 JESUS

    8 But God shows his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ JESUS ​​died for us.
    9 For much more, being already justified in his blood, by him we will be saved from wrath.
    10 For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life. Romans 5: 8-10

    16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son (JESUS), so that everyone who believes in him may not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16

    18 Come quickly, says the Lord, and let us be aware: if your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; if they are red like crimson, they will be like white wool. Isaiah 1:18

    9 that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
    10 For with the heart it is believed for righteousness, but with the mouth it is confessed for salvation.
    Romans 10: 9-10
    –23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

    12 And in no other is there salvation; for there is no other name under heaven, given to men, by which we can be saved. Acts 4: 11-12

    10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth;
    11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2: 10-11

    12 But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God; John 1:12

    23 Jesus answered and said to him: Whoever loves me will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him. John 14:23

    23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; because the Father also seeks such worshipers to adore him.
    24 God is Spirit; and those who adore him, in spirit and in truth it is necessary that they adore.
    John 4: 23-24
    27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you; I don’t give it to you like the world gives it. Not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27.
    JESUS.
    There is power in THE NAME OF JESUS.

    1. I would assume those who live in rural areas, where the cold storage necessary for the mRNA viruses is not available, and cannot get transport to an urban vaccination center.

    2. @Deborah Freedman BTW, J&J is an adenovector vaccine which means it’s a genetically modified DNA being delivered to the nucleus of your cells instead of mRNA being delivered only to the cytoplasm like the first two. The only other commercially approved use for this platform is a rabies vaccine for animals.

    1. If you can get one of the mRNA vaccines, sure. But, what if it is a hardship to get vaccinated, because you live out in the sticks? Because this uses an adenovirus vector, it does not need the extreme cold storage of the mRNA vaccines, and only requires one dose. The mRNA vaccines may be better, but the J & J vaccine is better than nothing. Without it, some people might not be vaccinated at all.

    2. @Deborah Freedman It would make more sense to spend the money on getting the more effective vaccine out to the sticks than to purchase a less effective vaccine.

  5. Sorry, its application should be denied. I understand the appeal of a one shot vaccine, but there is already so much mistrust and misinformation around COVID and the vaccine, the last thing we need is for too many folks to get seriously ill after getting it.

  6. Johnson and Johnson just settled a lawsuit after killing how many ppl 🤦🏽‍♂️🤔 nobody wants their vaccine 🙄
