      J&J has filed its EUA application. Great news again! 28 days after vaccination with this one-dose easy-to-store vaccine, the vaccinated group had ZERO cases requiring medical intervention (14 in placebo), ZERO hospitalizations (16 in placebo) and ZERO deaths (7 in placebo).pic.twitter.com/ZFGTTbjnlE

      Given the ease of use and storage, and these impressive results, our priority now as a world should be to figure out how to scale up J&J vaccine production, too, and distribute it especially to lower income countries as soon as possible. The end is near if we act to make it so.

          Yes. I have a few other pieces I'm wrapping this morning, but the efficacy numbers, while not irrelevant, aren't the most important number and are often misunderstood. Will explain longer soon. Look at disease burden, not just practical trial endpoints. https://twitter.com/ProbablyBarry/status/1364574667047120900 …

          Sorry, *seven* medical interventions in placebo group, not 14. Looked at the wrong column. But the vaccinated group number is correct: ZERO. Zero deaths, zero hospitalizations, zero medical interventions after 28 days after one dose of this easy-to-store vaccine.

          Presumably we also have a bit more experience scaling adenovirus vaccine production, since they've been around a bit longer than mRNA ones

          I felt that we would see the end when effective vaccines arrived, but aggressive variants are raising doubts about this notion. Widespread vaccination should decrease the pool of susceptible humans that allows vaccine-resistant variants to develop but ... good luck with that!

          Most low income countries are corrupt and have deals in place where the distribution of vaccines is slow with one year margin and with higher price for the pocket thieves

          My ? is why we (US) have not pre-planned the production of all of these vaccines. We waste $10s of billions of $$ yearly. We will spend more than $7 trillion in emergency programs. We could have spent the past 8-9 mos building production facilities and stockpiling raw materials

          They already scaled up production, long ago

          This means supporting the trips waiver. But I fear the rich countries will now hoard this vaccine.
