This is a very misleading talking point being spread around today, including by the White House. Very disappointing.
* J&J only requires one dose while all the others require two doses. So counting doses is misleading. J&J represents more than 10% of the actual full vaccinations. Many two dose vaccinations have not been completed (some will never be).
* The US has ordered 200 million doses J&J doses and a total of 600 million doses of the two dose vaccines. So J&J represents 40% of the full vaccinations ordered to date.
* J&J vaccine was only approved on February 27th while Pfizer and Moderna were approved back on December 11th and 18th, respectively.
People pushing this 5% number as obviously trying to put the best face on this screw up.
- thehappypm 6y agoThe 5% number is a fact. There's no agenda behind it -- 95% of all shots-in-arms so far is non-J&J.
