J&J Vaccine Warning
You may have heard that the FDA is now limiting the use of the J&J vaccine (for a second time I might add) because of “reports of rare blood clots”. So Pfizer and Moderna apparently do not carry the same “rare” risks? Other than “rare” pulmonary issues, myocarditis, clotting, cardiac arrest. Not to mention the fact that we are still getting COVID despite being vaccinated.
Okay— so wait a second.
The J&J vaccine works in similarly to the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. It’s a little different mechanism but the result is the same— to create spike proteins in your blood cells that essentially overwhelm or create an immune system response to COVID spike proteins. In all cases, this leads to the potential result of blood clots or other blood born ailments or inflammation like myocarditis.
Moderna and Pfizer use MRNA technology to basically introduce the COVID spike proteins while J&J uses basically a “dead” COVID virus to produce the same result that mimics the COVID virus so that your immune system will (hopefully) trigger to fight the actual virus.
So perhaps any vaccine is likely to provide protection from severe COVID illness but at what long or short term cost? Here is one report of a 7-year old in Washington who died on February 16th from cardiac arrest and blood clots 13 days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine….
COVID obviously can carry a huge cost too. There are no easy answers but I’d personally believe that if you are young and healthy why would anyone risk taking a vaccine? Your survivability of COVID is nearly 100%!
Stay tuned— Pfizer quietly released 80,000 pages of information on their vaccine trials a few weeks back and the data is not good AT ALL. More to come but I have lots to study.
