The following report is excerpts from Stat News:
The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday announced it was limiting access to Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine because of the risk of a blood clotting disorder that was discovered weeks after the vaccine was first put into use in the spring of 2021.
Going forward, the single-dose vaccine will only be available to people 18 and older who cannot take one of the other available vaccines for medical reasons, or who simply will not agree to be vaccinated with one of the messenger RNA vaccines made by Moderna and by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech.
Peter Marks, the FDA’s vaccines lead, told STAT the agency reached its decision after a recent review of the data on the vaccine revealed another person in this country had died after receiving it — the ninth such death — in the first quarter of the year. The vaccine is made by J&J’s vaccines division, Janssen.
If we see deaths and there is an alternative vaccine that is not associated with deaths but is associated with similar efficacy … we felt it was time at this point to make a statement on the [product’s] fact sheet that this was not a first-line vaccine.
Said Marks, who is director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
But the level of protection the vaccine offered was not as high as that induced by the messenger RNA and in the U.S., people who received the J&J vaccine have since been urged to get mRNA boosters. When the clotting risk was identified in mid-April of 2021, the FDA paused use of the vaccine. Though the pause was lifted 10 days later, confidence in the vaccine had been shaken and demand for it plummeted.
Johnson & Johnson continues to collaborate with health authorities and regulators around the world to ensure healthcare professionals and individuals are warned and fully informed about reports of TTS, enabling correct diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and expedited reporting.
It said
Marks stressed that people who received the J&J vaccine in the past do not need to worry. TTS, when it occurs, develops a week or two after vaccination. People who were vaccinated months ago are not in danger of developing the condition, he said.
He acknowledged the latest announcement won’t change much on the ground in the United States, where few vaccination sites stock the J&J vaccine at this point. But it could have implications abroad, where countries still struggling to vaccinate their populaces could be influenced by the U.S. decision.
In the United States, this is probably not going to have that much of an effect. We’re trying to be cautious and we’ve informed our global partners at [the World Health Organization] for instance, about this and tried to work with them because we don’t want our global partners to be panicked.
We’re not saying that it’s a bad vaccine. We’re just saying that for our population, where there’s an alternative, we feel that the alternative should be used.
Marks said
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[9]An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.Proverbs 11:9
The WP has been reporting on the various times the media and medical authority has bashed J&J. The sole reason for this because they want the masses to take the mRNA vaccines. The mRNA death shots are expotentially more lethal, and therefore these are the shots ‘they’ want in people. The handlers had to string J&J allow to sell the deception.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

that’s what I have thought too Jacob, like you say in your comments. I always found it curious that the J&J never have pushed a 2nd vaccine, and they said can take the mRNA as the 2nd or 3rd. Honestly, I pray so much that the rapture comes soon.
When taking things into consideration about the vaccines such as deaths, permanent disabilities suffered by many, miscarriages and fully vaccinated people with their booster shots getting covid, you’d think the FDA would severely limit the use of all covid shots, especially with the long term affects of the vaccines still being unknown
