Andrew Cuomo receives his Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine.

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio rolled received the single dose Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine this morning.

Stating the obvious: Politicians are getting behind JNJ because it's logistically simpler and likely to have higher supply/lower demand vs. the mRNA vaccines. They also have to reinforce that it's good enough despite the lower efficacy.

It's the only one that needs to be promoted. Having said that the masses are ignorant and don't know the difference anyway.

You're giving a lot of credit to two of the most politicians on this forum. Kudos.

You're missing an adjective. There are a bunch of words that can fit there...

A reverse Freudian slip?

I tend to agree they are doing it to shore up public confidence, but an alternative explanation would be they considered it safer.

One more point- if we can reduce the loud anti-vax position to being mostly against mRNA (because their chief complaint is currently “it’s a new unproven experimental technology”) then it should be much easier to leave an opening for people on the fence to take the J&J vaccine (because it’s a good old regular vaccine).

... with the efficacy of the annual flu shot, which many pro-vax people don't take for that reason.

Johnson is getting the Astra Zeneca vaccine tomorrow for this reason.

You mean Boris Johnson? I had to do a double take for a moment. It was like reading "Moderna is getting the Pfizer vaccine tomorrow" :P

Boris Johnson and AZN is more than that, there's strong sentiment in Europe (EU/EEA) against AZN, and the UK has been pushing it hard, so they have to shore it up. It's way more than just efficacy concerns.

Two things:

1) J&J is actually quite effective at preventing illness and is nearly 100% effective at preventing severe illness and death

2) I never really understood that train of thought, short of the shot being annoying and the danger of the flu not too great. Because something is not 100% effective is no less of a reason to take it, it’s all about risk reduction.

I believe I’ve said this elsewhere: Someone told me they won’t take the shot because it’s not 100% effective anyway. I told them they shouldn’t go to work because they’ll never be the richest man in the world anyway.

Yeah, they've turned it into a whole national identity issue. But still, at the core of it, it's a safety confidence issue.

Your analogy isn't even close. I don't get flu shots. The only times I've ever gotten sick were when I got the shot. I don't feel like my risk is lessened by getting the shot. Same for J&J. I see no reason to introduce this disease into my body. Like most people who are somewhat leery of new tech, I will most likely eventually get one of the mRNA shots. Not liking new tech doesn't mean I'd rather settle for inferior solutions.
