JUST IN: Johnson & Johnson's single-shot Covid-19 vaccine shows 66% efficacy in a global trial, but 85% efficacy against severe disease, the company says.

Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 single-shot vaccine was shown to be 66% effective in preventing moderate and severe disease in a global Phase 3 trial, but 85% efficacy against severe disease, the company announced Friday.

The vaccine was 72% effective against moderate and severe disease in the US, the company said.It's a striking difference from vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, and it may give pause to people uncertain about which vaccine to get or when they can get one. The vaccines already on the market in the US are about 95% effective overall against symptomatic Covid-19, with perhaps even higher efficacy against severe cases.

This one is a viral vector vaccine. It uses a common cold virus called adenovirus 26, which has been weakened so that it does not replicate in the body. It's engineered to carry genetic material from the spike protein of the virus -- that's the part the virus uses to grab onto the cells it targets.The vaccine prompts the muscle cells in the arm to produce these pieces of spike protein.

Not at all good enough in comparison to Pfizer and Moderna!!

Do you people not remember Johnson and Johnson made the baby powder that gave people cancer 🤔🤔🤔 why in the world would I take a vaccine from them or from anybody else

Same poison, different label

I just read a medical article that simply said Covid-19 has the potential to sterilize millions of men. Due to the fact that it started off as a rectal and reproductive organ virus in homosexual men later evolving into a respiratory virus in homosexual men. The it made the leap.

Keep your poison cocktail! We aren't interested!

Vacuna y inferior a Pfizer y Moderna 😢

How is it worse against less severe cases? I figured it would be the opposite

Damn China really messed up the World! 😡Hope this was not intentional ☹️

Now, if people with seizure conditions were able to take this to stay safe...but scared to take it because of major side effects that could kill...

Again I understand the urgency but throwing things out at this speed isn't always a good thing People could end up getting hurt by unknown complications

People who are getting vaccinated aren’t going to want 66% when there is a 95%.

66% looks more than enough remenebering that influenza it is just 51% effective

These are NOT good numbers.

the same Johnson & Johnson that kept talcum powder on the market knowing it gave people cancer?

DoriaOMaiorVirusDoBrasil

Y’all giving out cancer again, no thank you

Isn't this the same company that's being sued for issues with cancer as a result of their baby powder!!!

Not good enough

Dm me I'm available for hookup and massage

Hello everyone, It's not all about watching football on TV, have you ever had a thought in your mind that you can make money through football betting, search and join'WINAMAX' on TELEGRAM his football tips are amazing.Good Luck

Unfortunately, that's not good enough - needs to be at Pfizer/Moderna levels - no one is going to want a vaccination that is this ineffective

No thanks

develop booster like others JJ

Better than nothing at all

100% effective in preventing sever disease after 49 days!

Sorry but if 34 out of 100 got Covid does not mean the other 66 was even exposed to Covid this is not good enough could effectively mean its only 10% effective

What happened to 1 shot,100% effective ?

Thank you Johnson & Johnson. For giving us hope as we struggle. God Bless!

66%? Ugh. No wonder J&J's stock is falling.

Get it approved. I'll take it.

Now, all of a sudden, people want a vaccine and only vaccines which after two doses are a minimum 94% efficacy; we've gotten smart

That sucks

That's a no for me lol Im getting my 2nd moderna shot Tuesday. It's the mRNA for me 💅🏽

What about all those wet wipes Johnson & Johnson makes that kill coronavirus by 99.9999999%? 👀

China virus china virus china virus

It's like 66% of the time you won't get pregnant. 34% of the time you WILL get pregnant.

Abramjee Go back to the drawing board,develop what will atleast be 95% effective.that we dnt want.

However, the Pfizer one is better because Bill Gates makes money from it.

Abramjee Ivermectin in large scale trials shows 90% efficacy as a prophylactic (preventative) against SARS Cov-2 infection. Long history of human use with virtually zero side effects. Competition for the money spinning vaccine may be a sin, though

Abramjee HIV and Aids no vaccine nothing🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ nix nix nix even if it's 30%...

NO

Covaxin BharatBiotech Ocugen

Great news. Let’s get some to WV

Only one hundred percent will do ! Otherwise useless

66%?! What is it Robitussin n OJ

sharing these kind of information is a bad idea , not every person have a medical degree or biology major to have a say in this , we should let these choices taken by the experts and sharing it with the public will only introduce biases and politics to the decision

This seems pretty important though: 'And we are right now completely protective, it would appear 100% protective, against disease that actually does make you go to the hospital, we're 100% protective against death.'

They got moderate to sever Butinfaceicus.

What? I'll take a chance and wait for the Moderna vaccine.

Wonder which one the poors will get?

Imagine if Pfizer and Moderna who have had success with their vaccines helped other labs by sharing information on how they did it.. it doesn’t always have to be about money! We need results and we should aim for everyone to be successful in this!!! People are dying!!

Better than the flu shot. That’s around 48~50%

66% is barely a passing grade. So globally the vaccine gets a D, and 85% or a B against severe disease. How does someone know beforehand if theirs will be severe? Will it help after the fact? The single-shot is nice, but aren’t both Pfizer & Moderna at 95%? Keep working on it!

Good enough. Thanks to the team. Must be deployed ASAP.

Please please take it. And when you get a severe reaction. To this or any vaccine. Don’t come crying. Vaccine. Kidding me. Over what.

Here's something that could maybe might work..

Hey - how about focusing on the $NVAX news?!! Much better than J&J’s results. Stop being a mouthpiece for big pharma!

Ain't nobody getting a J&J vaccine that's only 66% effective

Is this a joke or what ?

Start puttin that shit in arms at Walmart! It close enough!

Worse than a mask. J&J should stick to baby powder.

Johnson and Johnson.... ok

'Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 single-shot vaccine was shown to be 66% effective in preventing moderate and SEVERE disease in a global Phase 3 trial, but 85% efficacy against SEVERE disease, the company announced Friday.' ?

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine does not require ultra cold storage.

okayyyy, it's muchmuch better than communis sinovac vaccine.. only 50%..

66%..

No more tears...

F

The vaccine is given in one shot unlike Modena and Pfizer vaccines which require two shots .

No bueno

Recently, my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (blood cancer). My friend, Jason and his wife are first time parents and could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

Opinion. : Like in the bar, watered down to make it go further?

If you need your bills paid , send a DM

We're screwed.

The company said it would ask American regulators in early February to authorize its use .

That’s not a high enough number for me

that's not good enough. Moderna and Pfizer have proven that MRNA is the only solution to defeating Covid.

Isn’t that siginificantly lower than the Moderna vaccine if you skip the second dose?

It is 66% effective in preventing moderate to severe Covid.

🤔... 🤔... 🤔... No thanks! 🤷🏾‍♂️
