RE the J&J vaccine: Dr. Jha was just on the ABC Evening News. Said it's 66% eff. in preventing covid. 85% eff. in preventing severe cases, and %100 eff. in preventing hospitalization and death. I'll take those odds.
It's a two-year trial. They don't tell you what you got until the trial ends.Sounds like the J and J vaccine works. Will they ever tell you if you got the vaccine or the placebo?
The J&J results are pretty good, they just don't look so good when compared to the 95% success rate of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. The J&J 66% figure is better than many years flu vaccine. If there was nothing else out there, people would be jumping all over the J&J vaccine.RE the J&J vaccine: Dr. Jha was just on the ABC Evening News.

I wonder how you get vaccinated if you're poor and have no car. I'm thinking Appalachia, Mississippi delta, etc. My wife drove 90 minutes to get hers.
Similar issue here. My wife has qualified. I haven’t.The difference in letting the States run their own criteria is frustrating. My wife got her shot because she is a cancer survivor and has had chemo. I however fall into the 16-64 group. How stupid is that?
Since you had the virus Marty, you should have immunity? Is the CDC recommending the vaccine for those already infected and recovered?Similar issue here. My wife has qualified. I haven’t.
A recent study found the reinfection rate 2 in 10,000 over 35 weeks. That being the case, I’m in good shape. If I’m offered the vaccine, I’ll get it. I’m not yet aware of the CDC recommendation on that.Since you had the virus Marty, you should have immunity? Is the CDC recommending the vaccine for those already infected and recovered?

My youngest brother missed the boat on that
There still isn't much out there in real studies. But, they're starting to come in. As that happens there will be less winging it, and more real science. We're all doing our best for now.My youngest brother missed the boat on that
While he was recovering in a nursing home they offered him the shot but at the time nobody really knew if he needed to since he already recovered from the virus
I see it this way. Has anybody died from getting the vaccine? How about from getting the virus?I'm not at all interested in getting vaccinated yet. Neither are the majority of my coworkers. My own father is very much in favor of vaccinating, and is through the first shot. My gal, not at all. Her family, No.
This is yet more controversy that doesn't need to be pushed upon individuals choices.
I'm 64 and when they call and say come on down I'll goI see it this way. Has anybody died from getting the vaccine? How about from getting the virus?
I went into this thinking I was tough as nails. This bug will exploit any weakness, and it showed me.
