Biden boosts US vaccine stockpile as world waits

Read full article: Biden boosts US vaccine stockpile as world waits

White House aides said Biden’s first priority is ensuring that Americans are vaccinated before considering distributing doses elsewhere. AdRussia has sent millions of doses of its Sputnik V vaccine to countries around the world, even as it vaccinates its own population. Israel, which has vaccinated more than half of its population with Pfizer vaccines produced in Europe, has also attempted to use vaccine diplomacy to reward allies. Biden's purchasing strategy has come under criticism from nongovernmental organizations who have encouraged the White House to develop clear plans and thresholds for sharing vaccine with the world. So we’re not going to be ultimately safe until the world is safe,” acknowledged Biden.

Trust Index: Was J&J vaccine made using fetal cells?

Read full article: Trust Index: Was J&J vaccine made using fetal cells?

The News4Jax Trust Index Team is examining a controversial position the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is taking regarding the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. In a statement, the Conference expressed “moral concerns” about the vaccine, because the group says the drug was developed with lab-grown cells that descend from aborted fetuses. Did the manufacturers of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine use cells taken from the tissue of an aborted fetus to develop the vaccine? Fetal cell lines from the 1980s were used to develop the J&J vaccine. He adds that fetal cells lines were also used to produce hepatitis A, rubella, chickenpox and shingles vaccines.

FILE - This September 2020, file photo provided by Johnson & Johnson shows a pharmacist preparing to give an experimental COVID-19 vaccine. (Johnson & Johnson via AP, File)WASHINGTON – U.S. health advisers endorsed a one-dose COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson on Friday, putting the nation on the cusp of adding an easier-to-use option to fight the pandemic. One challenge in rolling out the new vaccine will be explaining how protective the J&J shot is after the astounding success of the first U.S. vaccines. One dose of the J&J vaccine was 85% protective against the most severe COVID-19. On Sunday, a CDC panel is expected to meet to recommend how to best prioritize use of the J&J vaccine.

In comparison, tests showed the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were 95% effective at protection against symptomatic COVID-19. The biggest difference between the vaccines: Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two doses, while the J&J vaccine requires one dose. In addition, the J&J vaccine uses inactivated virus, while the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use messenger RNA technology. AdIf the FDA clears the J&J vaccine for U.S. use, it will not boost vaccine supplies significantly right away. “We want people to make these choices, but there’s a lot to be said for Johnson & Johnson.

Oklahoma judge miscalculated judgment in opioid case

Read full article: Oklahoma judge miscalculated judgment in opioid case

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The Oklahoma judge who recently ordered pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million for its role in the state's opioid crisis says he made a mathematical error when calculating the judgment. As part of the landmark verdict in August, Judge Thad Balkman set aside $107,683,000 to help combat neonatal abstinence syndrome, or NAS. On Tuesday, Balkman agreed with Johnson and Johnson regarding the error. The judge still needs to decide if the court will continue to monitor the opioid crisis for the next 20 years and potentially award more money to the state. Johnson & Johnson has already indicated they will appeal any decision.
