Georgia becomes third state to shut down Johnson & Johnson vaccine site

[BUtterfield 8 41,816]

Johnson & Johnson's coronavirus vaccine is facing a double dose of problems. Georgia is the third state to temporarily shut down a vaccine site after eight people suffered adverse reactions to the shot. 

Earlier this week, 18 people in North Carolina reported side effects, while 11 people in Colorado reacted to the shot with symptoms ranging from dizziness, nausea and fainting. 

"This is a really potent vaccine, and what we're seeing is some of that potency relating at a very rare side effect that we just have to be aware of," said Dr. David Agus, a CBS News medical contributor. 

All three major U.S. vaccines produced adverse reactions in more than 60,000 people nationwide. For each manufacturer — Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson — just one-tenth of 1% of all people have reported side effects.

Honestly, these so called side effects are typical things that happen with many vaccines. A bit of dizziness, nausea etc is common. It seems there's an internalized antivax mentality by certain organizations and state govts administering vaccinations, they want to generate an antivax mentality and scare people. Notice how they're not saying if the people who suffered these so called side effects had underlying conditions or allergies. Companies warned about allergies and exercising caution if you do have allergies. Get the vaccine, don't listen to that antivax drivel.

Agreed - especially for dizziness and nausea. I had the J&J last Friday. It definitely made me feel bad for a couple days (flu symptoms) but that also means your body’s responding appropriately.

This exactly. We are just hearing about effects from the covid vaccines more. These things happen with any medications really.

Love that the USA kept stuff open with 2 million + cases but shut down the vaccine centre for 18 people having side effects
