A single dose Covid-19 vaccine developed by Janssen is 66% effective,
the Belgian company has announced.

But nobody needed hospital treatment or died from coronavirus after the
vaccine took effect in the international trial.

Crucially, it looked at giving just one dose of the vaccine, which makes
it significantly easier to roll out than those requiring two.

Although there are also signs it is less effective against the new
variant that is spreading in South Africa.

The news comes shortly after Novavax announced their jab was 89%
effective overall in the UK and 60% in South Africa. Both new vaccines
will need to be reviewed by regulators before they can be used.

Another vaccine enters the fray. The more the merrier.

I am not sure how helpful when the vaccines are getting down around
the coin toss percentage of effectiveness.

You have to read past the headline. The J&J vaccine, single dose with no
extreme freezing requirement, had a lower effectiveness rate but they said
zero test subjects who received the vaccine developed a severe case of
Covid-19 that required hospitalization, so that's still a huge improvement.
The same could not be said for the placebo group.

If you are a possible asymptomatic carrier you need to continue all of
the protocols you are doing now.
Fauci said that not me.
That doesn't open closed businesses, let you go to a ball game or take
off your mask.
