We were told from the start that vaccines will likely need to be re-administered regularly.
I really don't see what the issue is with authorizing boosters. Especially considering third of adults in this country refuse to get vaccinated. So what's wrong with using their doses for boosters?

Try selling the American public on the J&J vax, with only 91 to 96% effectiveness rate against death Celerity Aug 2021 #9

People don't know how to interpret the numbers unfortunately and take them at face value madville Aug 2021 #10

71% effectiveness against hospitalization is pretty low. LisaL Aug 2021 #11

The J&J vaccine was in the nineties as far as preventing hospitalization as well madville Aug 2021 #13

Yes, I know J&J was in the nineties during clinical trials against hospitalization. LisaL Aug 2021 #17

I never stated that 4% to 9% would die, nor stated that 29% would end up hospitalised. Celerity Aug 2021 #14

I never said you did madville Aug 2021 #16

I was replying to to this Celerity Aug 2021 #19

See we agreed the whole time madville Aug 2021 #21

lol, all good, and give me a bit and I will pull up some more studies on the 2 mRNA vaxxes against Celerity Aug 2021 #22

I guess it's spun as a good thing because it doesn't seems J&J is becoming less effective with time, LisaL Aug 2021 #12

I posted some data from a study about all 3 vaxxes against the different variants. See the bottom Celerity Aug 2021 #15

You actually spun in-vitro studies as superior DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #18

I made no such claim as to superiority, I only provided the study data as it included data (for Celerity Aug 2021 #20

No, you provided in-vitro studies DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #23

again, I provided that study for data purposes in terms of the 3 main vaccines against Celerity Aug 2021 #29

Again, that is simply untrue DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #30

Some states are starting to release their breakthrough data for each of the vaccines. LisaL Aug 2021 #31

All anecdotal at this point. DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #32

It's consistent with clinical trial data showing lower efficacy. LisaL Aug 2021 #35

just because you do not like the answer doesn't invalidate anything I posted Celerity Aug 2021 #33

It certainly does. You irresponsibly presented DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #34

Stop trying to assign malign acts to me. There have been dozens, likely hundreds, of pre print Celerity Aug 2021 #36

So, no. You aren't a scientist DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #37

In the real life, in the US, J&J appears to be having more breakthrough cases compared to LisaL Aug 2021 #24

I fully expect to become infected DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #25

I prefer to not become infected. LisaL Aug 2021 #26

I'll probably take a booster, but I don't expect to DenaliDemocrat Aug 2021 #27
