I'm hoping for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine [View all]

For one, I have a nostalgic sort of feeling for J&J from my childhood and it's ubiquity.

J&J immunized all their employees against Smallpox in 1910, over half of them women

J&J produced masks to fight the 1918 Flu

J&J created Band-Aids

J&J retained all employees during WW2, even increased wages

J&J promised all employees who fought in WW2 they'd have a job when they returned home

And the J&J COVID-19 vaccine just may be the vaccine that saves the world... all four corners.

Agree. gldstwmn Feb 2021 #20

It's got quite a few lawsuits and settlements under its belt, too. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2021 #3

Don't forget the asbestos in baby powder they knew about for decades! Ziggysmom Feb 2021 #26

Oh yes. And the hip replacement materials, and the bladder slings, and on and on and on Wicked Blue Feb 2021 #31

Me too, because it has a safer profile (almost no side effects) and is a one dose only. LisaL Feb 2021 #21

From what I've read so far I would prefer the J&J as well. StarryNite Feb 2021 #22

As a needle phobe, one instead of two will be much easier for me. hamsterjill Feb 2021 #27

one of the biggest POS in Congress, a fucking stooge Celerity Feb 2021 #35
