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.


Fortunately, the experts know better.

Fauci is not an expert now?
He is the one I heard question the effectiveness of the J&J tonight on
NBC


There are numerous reports, and some are very positive about the new
vaccines. Yes, more people might get covid with them, but FAR fewer will
get really sick or be hospitalized than un-vaccinated people. The J & J
vaccine is one shot, and requires only refrigeration, not fancy
freezers, so distributing it will be way easier, and there will be way
less loss to bad temp control.
