Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Johnson & Johnson Says One-Shot Vaccine Is Effective, Especially in Preventing Severe Cases

HeadlineFeb 01, 2021

Johnson & Johnson is seeking emergency use authorization of its COVID-19 vaccine after a large clinical trial showed it was 66% effective at preventing moderate to severe disease four weeks after vaccination. The vaccine’s efficacy appeared to rise over time, with no cases of severe disease reported in recipients seven weeks after their shots. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires a single dose and doesn’t require ultra-cold storage, making it easier to distribute than vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer. It’s also less expensive to produce. Johnson & Johnson says it’s ready to ship 100 million doses to the U.S. through June.
