BREAKING: Johnson & Johnson says single-shot vaccine is 85% effective at preventing severe Covid-19 cases, but weaker against South African variant.

that early results from its trials in South Africa also showed a lower effectiveness against the strain.

"With one of the more worrisome variants on the planet, we were still able to show that more often than not, we were able to prevent moderate to severe infection," said Dr. Buddy Creech, an infectious disease expert, as well as a principal investigator of one of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine trials at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.

Overall, Johnson & Johnson’s results are not as strong as those from Pfizer and Moderna, which each had exceptionally efficacy high levels. Those vaccines have been shown to be about 95 percent effective against symptomatic Covid-19, when given in two shots about a month apart. Unlike Pfizer's and Moderna's vaccines — which require two doses about a month apart — the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can be administered fully in one dose and only requires basic refrigeration for storage. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both work using messenger RNA, or mRNA, to teach the immune system how to recognize and fight off the coronavirus.

How many variants are there? I'm worried.😥

Consider demolishing all closed structures designed for big crowds and replacing them with open areas, or trees/nature. It is sad keep seeing these areas that remind us of what life used to be and never will be again. At least we still have YouTube and VR to 'travel' the world

It's not possible for a swallow to carry a coconut.

As mutations make the virus stronger all current vaccine will be useless. What I feared seems to be what will happen- this nightmare is here to stay, way longer than the Spanish Flu. Masks, distancing, uncomfortable to zero travel, intermittent lockdowns will prevail for decades

Thus ineffective against covid
