The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is the one to avoid, right?
Let me guess...some of y'all will probably say [b]all[/b] of them 😂.

Actually, after careful research into all the majors (jj, az, pf, md), I concluded Janssen (Johson & Johnson) was the best of the bunch.
1) 1 shot, and DONE
2) Offers good protection against original strain (just like all the majors)
3) Offers BETTER protection against variants, compared to the other vaccines
As I posted before, those who looked at one number and concluded that Janssen was bad were not understanding the statistics. Is Janssen less effective? Against the original strain, yes. HOWEVER, that ignores the fact that all of the vaccines are VERY GOOD protection against the original strain. By comparing vaccines, we are comparing degrees of "very good" protection, in other words.
Think of it this way. If you get any of the majors, you are protected. If you get Janssen, then you get a couple of bonuses. You are better protected against the variants AND you don't have to get a second shot for the initial vaccination.
It could also be argued that Janssen has a 3rd bonus nobody is talking about. That is, AVAILABILITY. So many people want the Pfizer / Moderna shots, that it's often VERY EASY to find a clinic with excess Janssen vaccine begging people to walk in to get vaccinated.
