Merck has idle capacity to exploit, after their failed project. J&J will surely collect royalties. And the public gets more shots.

Now that's unity! Auggie Mar 2021 #1
I'm sure they are gonna get a cut outta that! BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #2
For sure ... Auggie Mar 2021 #4
Sweet! 2naSalit Mar 2021 #3
Fantastic news! NJCher Mar 2021 #5
I expect their vaccine production is done at different facitlies BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #7
Great news! lkinwi Mar 2021 #6

Until proven Bear Creek Mar 2021 #13
None of the vaccines are "approved" BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #14
The others offer better protection Bear Creek Mar 2021 #16
In general, there is pre-set criteria for efficacy of vaccines BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #19

"It is not effective" TwilightZone Mar 2021 #63
Sorry - That's a badly misguided analysis FBaggins Mar 2021 #26
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
Great, but too bad they aren't producing more of the more effective vaccines SheltieLover Mar 2021 #15
Exactly Bear Creek Mar 2021 #17
Exactly! SheltieLover Mar 2021 #18
You're not a scientist are you? BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #21
No I'm not SheltieLover Mar 2021 #22
Hopefully this explains a little why this is going the way it is BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #28

You're implying that this is the result of campaign contributions to Biden's campaign? ForgoTheConsequence Mar 2021 #54
Glad that got removed BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #59
Same here. ForgoTheConsequence Mar 2021 #75
Remember that NORMAL vaccine devopment is a *multi-year* process BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #20
Ty for sharing insights! SheltieLover Mar 2021 #25
Also see this (I think I stuck it in the wrong place) BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #33
Ty again! SheltieLover Mar 2021 #44
YW BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #49
No doubt! SheltieLover Mar 2021 #50
Unfair comparison. J&J's lower number includes variants. The others were tested pre-variant. lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #31
Sorry Bear Creek Mar 2021 #39
You're intentionally spreading misinformation. ForgoTheConsequence Mar 2021 #52
Profits. We live in a Global Corporate Oligarchy, never forget that simple fact. Tommymac Mar 2021 #40
I mentioned upthread that for big pharma BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #45
See!! I knew they could do this! It's a win-win-win! lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #27
February 11th, Biden announced a contract extension with Pfizer and Moderna. House of Roberts Mar 2021 #29
Pfizer and Moderna's tests were before the variants. J&J's number includes South African and others lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #32
Can you show results of the J&J vaccine against the new variants House of Roberts Mar 2021 #36
No. The testing coincided with variant emergence. lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #38
Here is a link to the FDA/CBER's Vaccine Advisory Committee's meeting with them last Friday BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #53
Please post a link to the studies otherwise this is just opinion. Tommymac Mar 2021 #41
Here you go lagomorph777 Mar 2021 #43
Here is the irony of this situation BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #34
This is such good news for the entire world. THANK YOU for sharing h2ebits Mar 2021 #46
"Biden boosted production by invoking the National 'whatever it is called' Act" BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #56
Yes and the orange dumbass was advised to do the same Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Mar 2021 #58
They had Ford and GM make lots of ventilators BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #60
I think they had to do the ventilator push Steelrolled Mar 2021 #67
When this was going on BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #69
I was skeptical of the whole plan, having lots of experience with big companies, Steelrolled Mar 2021 #73
LOL--Whatever it takes to get my thoughts out h2ebits Mar 2021 #68
I know the feeling! BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #70
The "wartime effort" was one of the things I was going to mention. BobTheSubgenius Mar 2021 #51
Excellent work Biden-Harris administration... Jon King Mar 2021 #55
This is what a real president does Donny boy Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Mar 2021 #57
Good move. Similar to Sanofi and Pfizer. mwooldri Mar 2021 #61
I had seen where GSK/Sanofi were also going to try some of their other vaccine candidates BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #66
This is HUGE! Bayard Mar 2021 #62
Of course Merck will do their own regular pharmaceutical stuff BumRushDaShow Mar 2021 #71
