The Skepticism is Upon Me
Apr. 2nd, 2021 06:35 pmSo, it appears that God alone knows what's in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. I don't for a second trust Biden's assurances that the batches that have already been shot into people's arms were just fine, and only the ones they caught in the factory today were contaminated.
I'm fully okay with the idea that J&J should receive a reward for developing a vaccine to spec. They took on the challenge, and they met the in-hindsight remarkably low goal that was set. That's fair, and they should get their payoff for it, as promised. Pfizer and Moderna both hit a home run, though. Those are the vaccines we should be pushing. Using the Defence Authorization Act to 'encourage' J&J to license their vaccine to sub-standard third-party producers (pretty much all that's left unused at this point) is bound to lead to incidents like this. J&J have been a reliable medical provider for much longer than my lifetime. Their credibility is taking a hit, though.
