Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine is highly effective in preventing severe disease and death from the Delta variant, according to a South African clinical trial of nearly 480,000 healthcare workers

Johnson & Johnson ’s Covid-19 vaccine is highly effective in preventing severe disease and death fromThe results from the trial of nearly 480,000 healthcare workers mark the first real world test of J&J’s single-dose vaccine against the Delta variant andthe company released last month showing the single-dose vaccine offers good protection against the highly contagious strain.

The South African study, known as Sisonke, found that the J&J vaccine has an efficacy of up to 71% against hospitalization from the Delta variant, 67% against hospitalization from the Beta variant and up to 96% against death, according to a presentation of the results Friday. The data hasn’t yet been peer reviewed or published in a scientific journal.

“The vaccine works very well in South Africa and protects against severe disease and death. All the immune responses that we’ve seen indicate good, immediate and sustained immune response against Delta and we see surprising durability in immune response of up to eight months,” said Dr. Glenda Gray, one of the study’s lead researchers.

The results are likely to inform a continuing debate about booster doses, coming out against the backdrop of another study that suggested theagainst the Delta variant. The San Francisco Department of Public Health and Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center said earlier this week they would offer booster doses of shots from Pfizer Inc. and partner BioNTech SE or Moderna Inc. to people who received Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose shot.

Unethical clinical trials. J&J and the Americans think the Africans are cheap and can be exploited.

My brother-in-law, an otherwise very healthy and athletic 50 year old, was vaccinated with J&J earlier thus year. He caught Delta variant 3 weeks ago and has life-threatening blood clots, including a pulmonary embolism on his lung. The Delta threat is enormous.

That’s how a clinical trial is done. It uses a big number to achieve its objectives. J&J really does its clinical trials really well.

The mRNA type are not vaccines; just experimental prophylactics that temporarily block the effects of a Covid infection. So every 3-6 months everyone in the world has to get a new “vaccine”shot? Who is going to pay for this? Medications to cure the infection is the solution.

Inventor of COVID vaccine technology says Biden vaccine policy will 'cause more harm than good' Universal vaccination strategy is 'bad science and badly needs a reboot.'

Following the 100% effective Pfizer, it is the 100% effective Johnson & Johnson.

The vaccines are KILLING PEOPLE all over the world!! Look at the EVIDENCE before you just roll up your sleeves. You'll pay for your mistake if you don't!!

Instead of using Africa as a testing ground, J & J and its host countries should increase their vaccine assistance to African countries and at least take a leading role in the international community.

Tried on African folks, Families are dying of this shit in real life It's not fair tell the truth

We need our personal freedom

Unfortunately it is also highly unethical unethical

This is the one that gives you the brain hemorrhages, right?

The whole vaccine program is a trial until 2023.

On my lord. Poor Africans. Experimented like lab rats. Pharma has no limits. Those dollars must be coming in fast

Maybe you should tell this to your pals at your sister Murdoch company, FoxNews …

The syringes are usually empty. But you're a soul less bot so you wouldn't know and keep on lying.

Comparing vaccines: country of origin, safety, doses, price, efficacy, and approval. Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sputnik V, Sinopharm, Bharat Biotech (COVAXIN), Medicago (CoVLP) The reasons why you should worry about AstraZeneca

Half-true .

Lab rats :(

Nice

Get vaccinated

Unfortunately, none of those Covid therapies actually PREVENT the disease. Thus, they are NOT vaccines. Per the FDA/NIH/CDC, a vaccine is defined as a disease prevention.

I wish SAns could see this. Ramaphosa made you lab rats for U.S. big pharma. Ramaphosamustfall Ramaphosa voetsekramaphosa VaccineRollOutSA

Good news!

🤍🤍🤍

Watch this video 🥺

Wow. That was fast. 🤔

Vaccine vs Prophylactic 🤔

The survival rate is 99%!!! The survival rate for the annual flu is considerably less!!

Lmao 😂 so now J&J wants to take the spot of Pfizer ? Of course... they have invested so much money they must get it back. Also, using Africa again for testing grounds.
