I'm sure they are going for herd immunity but, as an individual, I would be furious if someone tried go get me to take the less effective one. Or if that were the only vax available...

Just trying to understand.

Actually it has Bear Creek Mar 2021 #37

No... it most certainly has not FBaggins Mar 2021 #48

That has nothing to do with the efficacy of the vaccine. TwilightZone Mar 2021 #65

Only J&J has even been tested against variants. Your comparison is unfounded. lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #30

Also tested in a different environment than Moderna/Pfizer Deminpenn Mar 2021 #47
