So phenomenal news from today's testimony from J&J executives

They will ship 20M of these single-shot vaccines before end of March

Every calculation I've done assumed no J&J vax until April

Ah you say -- but don't I want Moderna/Pfizer? Aren't they better??

No

We will see more J&J data from FDA review this week but everything we've seen so far says these are excellent vaccines

Here's my @PostOpinions on why you should get any of the three you can get

2 of 3

and here's my conversation with @arishapiro on @npr about how J&J vaccine is getting a bad rap

Basic point is that these vaccines are terrific.

3/4

Headline efficacy #s aren't a fair comparison

J&J was tested in different places (SA, Brazil) at a different time than Pfizer/Moderna at a different time

And they all are essentially 100% at preventing hospitalizations/deaths once they've kicked in

4/5

So here's the real bottom line

For my family and friends, I'm telling them -- get any vaccine you can when its your turn

And everyone will have a turn soon
