A single dose of Johnson & Johnson's experimental COVID-19 vaccine produced a strong immune response against the novel coronavirus in an early-to-mid stage clinical trial, according to interim results published on Friday.

However, it is unclear whether elderly people, one of the populations most at risk from the virus, will be protected to the same degree as younger people with the J&J vaccine.

Based on the current results, J&J on Wednesday kicked off a final 60,000-person trial, which could pave the way for an application for regulatory approval. The company said it expects results of that so-called Phase 3 trial by the end of the year or early next year.

In participants older than 65, the rate of adverse reactions such as fatigue and muscle aches was 36%, much lower than the 64% seen in younger participants, the results showed, suggesting the immune response in older people may not be as strong. For now, the results justify why more studies are needed in larger numbers to look for serious adverse effects, Dr. Barry Bloom, a professor at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health who was not involved in the J&J trial, told Reuters.

They are American and prob not in the global vaccine sharing alliance

Andizi😩 don't give a fuck weather they chip everyone on earth I'm going to the mountains

But Governor 'Granny Killer' Cuomo wants to prevent New Yorkers from getting it. Cuomo loves killing New Yorkers.

No thanks, I'll wait a little longer.. and see what happens!

Ask J&J if test subjects will be 'Super Spreaders if they're asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, or at 65 vaccine doesn't work at all. How are they even testing to see if test subjects don't get infected from anyone else.

Im all for the vaccine but why the fuck is J&J the one making it.....

Is this the same company that was sued for causing ovarian cancer to women using their baby powder?..... Yeah, I thought so..... Keep your vaccine.

Welcome to the broadcast

Let the trials continue.

And it’s not ready for patients

Pick your poison.

So does the survival rate still rank 99.9986% doe this make it 99.9990?

Remember when they used to finish every commercial with 'A family company' and how that is no longer the case because they essentially gave people cancer?

In retrospect, perhaps it *was* a mistake to market Trump's new vaccine as: 'Zyklon-T!'

FEEZYDoesIT I've heard this vaccine is not even going to be out there for general use until at LEAST late 2021.

So did their baby powder until women started getting cancer because of it.

This company caused butthole cancer with their baby powder....now we trust them with a vaccine. Bill gates? WWG1GWA QAnon cosmopolitan

These the same people who has a lawsuit for using their baby powder. I will pass on it🤧
