People take these things literally. It’s better not to say them, when it comes to vaccines there is a lot of false info out there.
For the J and J vaccine the efficacy is definitely lower but it should be very effective at preventing death and hospitalisation overall.
The trial data has not been published and I think that’s not a good thing…But it will be published .
Including mild and moderate disease, the overall efficacy was 66 percent, but varied across the regions: 72 percent in the U.S., 64 percent in South Africa, and 61 percent in Brazil. “Mild and moderate outcomes” could include a range of illness, said Gandhi, and we won’t know the details until the full trial results are published, but we do know that everyone recovered without medical intervention.
“Admittedly, against mild to moderate disease, it didn’t work as well, and I understand people’s concerns,” said Gandhi
J&J is a potential game changer globally as it is one shot (as mentioned above) and relatively easy to transport and store, unlike the fancy mRNA ones that require deep freeze. So in terms of a larger game—that is, getting vaccines out to the world to actually stop this pandemic—it could still play a key role.
With the J&J vaccine in the news, Rachel Maddow gets personal, telling us that she, as a 48 year old woman, has also recently received this vaccine.
She uses this occasion to ask a series of questions to the Surgeon General of the US Vivek Murthy about what’s going on—and what we can expect going forward.
I love it when they ask one guy who is a presidential appointed to give all the answers. The surgeon general position before was a bit of rubber stamp one.
I felt pain the first time because the male nurse jabbed me like a pig
I saw him today and was afraid I would get him again
Got this nurse who was gentle
Never felt the shot
Didn’t have much arm pain first time
Wife felt arm pain for a few days first shot
Zero second Pfizer
I do…Looks awesome…And I know how to talk to some of my lost long lost brethren . I shall bring dental supplies and ammunition to support the local community.
I’m going to take a road trip one day and it’s going to go straight through there. At 200k an hour (last bit was a joke ).
