Johnson & Johnson 'Remains Confident' Despite CDC Recommending Other COVID Vaccines
Newsweek ^ | 16 December 2021 | AILA SLISCO

Johnson & Johnson said that it was still "confident" about its COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that Americans get inoculated with rival vaccines instead....

...The CDC confirmed 54 cases of Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients developing the rare blood-clotting disorder thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), including nine deaths. All of those who developed TTS were hospitalized, while most of the deaths were in people with underlying conditions....

...Research indicates that infection with COVID-19 is much more likely to result in the development of rare blood clots than vaccination against the virus. The 54 confirmed TTS cases were out of 14 million vaccines administered. A study published in September found that 42.8 per 1 million COVID-19 patients developed blood clots in the brain, while 393.3 patients per million developed abdominal clots....

From this article, JJ has a TTS incidence rate of 4/mil and a TTS mortality rate of 1.5/2.4M, compared to 43/mil and 393/mil for covid-infection related clotting in the brain and abdomen, respectively. It's surprising that the CDC would recommend against an adenovirus-based vaccine that has proven efficacy above Pfitzer.

from NPR: "More than 16 million people in the U.S. have been immunized with a shot of the J&J vaccine. More than 870,000 have received a J&J booster."

also from NPR: "The CDC said the problem is rare, but it has been seen at a rate of about one case in every 100,000 doses given to women 30 to 49 years old — the group at highest risk. About 15% of cases of TTS have been fatal, according to CDC data."

compare to Astra-Zeneca, in widespread use, also an adenovirus vaccine from Newsweek: "On October 8 this year, the Australian government published data on TTS occurrence following a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and found that the risk was around 2.4 per 100,000 in people aged under 60 and 1.8 per 100,000 in people aged 60 or older."

Looks like J&J has been excused from the club.

They government must not own any of the patents on the J&J vaccine. Money.

If CDC says not to, does that mean that contrarian Freepers will now go get the J&J to spite them?

But seriously, I went and got J&J for my booster recently, specifically because it uses a different technical approach (adenovirus vector), for a bit broader immune response.

The early UK and Israeli studies on mixing vaccine types indicated slightly improved effectiveness.

“remains confident”

This is the end for J&J shots. Booster-takers live and breath by CDC diktats like this.

J & J is out of luck. It’s not their clot-sot is any worse than the other two clot-shots, they just didn’t pay off Fauci “the Fraud” and folks with enough graft!

Gubmints around the world want people loaded up with mRNA for some reason. Some people have called the mRNA a sort of operating system for the human body. I wonder if people will freeze for 20-30 minutes like Windows while an update occurs?
