No, a reason a person might want to get the J&J is because it is only a single shot or it is more readily available in their location. For a variety of reasons, it may be problematic for them to get a second shot of Pfizer or Moderna. Suggesting that anyone only get a single shot of the Pfizer or Moderna is silly - you do not know more than the developers and clearly the vaccine is designed to have two shots. I have not heard anyone suggest that the Pfizer or Moderna should be used as a single shot. There have been suggestions that the second shot could be delayed more than 3-4 weeks.

Any comparisons of efficacy between Pfizer/Moderna and J&J, regardless of the number of shots or Pfizer/Moderna, is meaningless. Stating that a single shot of Pfizer/Moderna is more effective than J&J is simply not a valid statement. The definition of a "positive" result during the trials, which was used for the efficacy calculation, was not the same for the trials of Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J. Nor was the timeframe of the trials or the populations that were used in the trials or the age profiles of those in the trials or the coronavirus variants that may have been in the populations of the trials. The best anyone can reasonably state is that the two-shot Pfizer and Moderna vaccines appear to be as effective as the single shot J&J in preventing serious disease or death. Health professionals have gone on record as stating that you should make your choice of vaccine based on whichever one you have faster access to.

The only reason that I can see for anyone to get the J&J vaccine is if that person is leery of the mRNA technology of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. As for J&J being the "one and done" vaccine, that should not be a part of the equation because the Moderna and Pfizer can also be one and done with a BETTER efficacy than the J&J.

Hope that makes my point clearer.

Florida 50+ are eligible for vaccination, so no more excuses for anyone.

Dominoes delivers....

Florida just opened up vaccines to anyone 18 and older. 16 and 17 years old need parental consent

Why would anybody listen to someone who has a financial stake in the vaccine? (Fauci) And why would anyone listen to the government when it comes to what is best for us? You are ill informed if you get the vaccine. I work in healthcare and it’s not proven safe or what side effects it will have on your DNA. Blindly following messiah Fauci or the CDC is the definition of sheeple

Without vaccine need to continue masks even though risk becomes lower the younger you might be

Children under 12 are showing no signs of getting sick or becoming carriers of this virus.

Thats the latest science and data.

Now, do whatever makes YOU feel better.

I literally just saw that the virus surge is up 230% in kids under 12.

Its so difficult, we all should mask until......?
The surge to the little ones is probably from all the grand parents that thought they were safe to visit. 🤷*♀️

I will get vaccination but difficult to watch Dr. Fuji admire himself every day.

1. Fauci gets paid whether he's right or wrong. He has nothing to lose by being truthful about what he knows.
2. Being a volunteer librarian in a childrens' hospital makes you a hospital worker, but it doesn't qualify you to know anything about virii, or vaccines.

"Why would anybody listen to someone who has a financial stake in the vaccine? (Fauci)"

Where in the world did you read or hear, that Dr. Fauci has any financial stake, in any vaccine?

[tuccillo]

A couple of questions:

1) Since you stated that you work in healthcare, presumably for the purpose of attempting to establish yourself as a reliable source of information, it is certainly reasonable for us to know exactly what your position is and your education. Please provide both.

2) Questions about the vaccines, both the mRNA based Pfizer and Modern vaccines and the adenovirus virus based J&J vaccine, impacting DNA have been debunked. Do you have a reputable source to suggest otherwise?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣......oh, that was a good one.

Fauci needs to remain relevant. This Administration walks all over the CDC statements. They need to speak with one voice so the public has the knowledge to make the best decisions going forward.

Yes , I agree, and you can see this attitude in action already. At Home Depot yesterday even some employees were without masks.

[Happinow]

100% agree.

[Happinow]

100% agree. The government is like the IRS......”we are here to help”. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

[Happinow]

Since this is an “experimental vaccine “, who knows what good it does, how long it lasts, if you can get Covid after receiving the shot, or if it works at all?? The lab tests failed on rats....they died, so there’s no proof of anything g yet. That’s why millions of Americans are now the “lab rats”.

I'll bet the main stream news does not report about those vaccinated who have gotten it again. I've read many articles that has happened & not just in the US. This is about keeping people scared, out of work & control. Numbers on arms next.
