i wonder how much of the rest of the world's vaccine needs, including their full supply chains of all necessary resources like needles, vials, etc., depend on India operating at 100% normal production capacity. and how much of that instantly falls apart as India locks down directly or indirectly from a massive Brazil-like crisis

Probably about the same as how the US went with IV bags after Puerto Rico got nailed by hurricanes and it turned out that was where a huge chunk of our supply came from

my sister was scheduled to get the JNJ today in PA and noped out, she's gonna get Pfizer 1 next week instead

yep. feeling real glad I kept looking for better options even after I had secured a jnj shot for my wife and I. As soon as I saw the walmart Moderna slots available i grabbed that poo poo.

yeah it may be super rare, but if my wife had gotten the jnj I’d probably not sleep for the next two weeks out of anxiety.

Lmao wasn't this the same issue the AZ/University of Oxford had for some rare blood clotting issues due to the vaccine?

For my "Vaccine Shopping" using tools like CVS / Vaccine Spotter . org I decided to go with the Pfizer vaccine.

Sleepy Joe was also depending on J+J for the whole July 4 back to the New Normal since J+J was supposed to ship 100 million doses by then.

Several larger cities like Lagos have tremendously large and dense populations of people who live in poverty (few ways to socially distance, need to keep working). Depends on the country, but many African governments are notoriously inept and/or corrupt and incapable or unwilling to provide assistance to the worst off, and no way of providing accurate numbers. I remember last year there were reports of people acknowledging widespread covid deaths despite official numbers being incredibly low.

But then you have places like Rwanda who had more contact tracers than the US despite being exponentially smaller, and the Gold Coast constant struggle with Ebola crwating a foundation for fast action for a pandemic.

my covid pod was planning a trip to WI in august to a cabin and i suggested we hold of a couple weeks to put down a large nonrefundable deposit since MI is getting really, really, bad. i was told "you don't have to drive through MI to get to WI" and was linked a NPR article about how being vaccinated against variants is just fine

the group chat has gone silent since i pointed out the NPR article admits we have no idea how vaccines stack up against the Brazil variant and asked why thinking things might get bad again is crazier than covid respects state borders

Is the blood clot thing a meaningful risk for people taking the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, or is the recommended "pause" meant to give some time to see if more people suffer from the blood clot thing? The odds so far don't seem that much worse than other kinds of rare vaccine injury that people generally accept, but if there are 50% more people set to get the vaccine in the next week or something, I understand why they'd want to see how common those effects actually are.

About 18 hours out from my second moderna dose, I feel like I walked there and back to get it and my victory tacos may have been a mistake, but all in all pretty minimal side effects so far. Definitely more noticeable soreness than from dose one though.

Now who wants to get slutty with me?

probably the latter.

I suspect that had J&J been the only vaccine available they wouldn't have paused distribution. the existence of the mRNA vaxes which we know work fantastically and don't have the clotting issue makes stopping J&J easier to justify.

I expect they’ll say “this vaccine is contraindicated in people (or maybe just women) under sixty (or fifty) years of age” and move on with it.

As for if the risk is meaningful, it could be ten times worse and I’d still take it because that’s still way better than the risk of COVID. If it were the only vaccine available, I would at least consider it at a hundred times the clotting rate.

It appears to be a very small, but real risk associated with the viral vector vaccines. The pause is normal practice when you get adverse events to a drug, so that FDA can assess what caused the reactions, and what to do moving forward.
