Again, it was a batch that was contaminated. Internal controls detected the mix up before the batch was transported to another company to be put into vials and shipped.

It has been estimated the contaminated batch may have been sufficient to fill as many as 15 million vials.

J&J has not disclosed the nature of or impact of the mix up, had the internal controls at the Emergent Bio Solutions plant not detected it.

It could have rendered the dose a placebo or something else.

Not much waiting for 2 jabs, which also have higher efficacy

So this screw up means Americans who voted for Biden have killed even more people.

I was gonna say this was a troll post, but then I looked at your history and clearly I was wrong.

the crazy thing is, you're not the only one with this mindset which is what makes this world (at least the US) so scary.

Waiting is a huge variable within and across states, dependent on geography and eligibility.

No shortage of people feel like they won the lottery when they get an appointment. And many are willing and do travel great distances.

Make sure to schedule the second dose at the location that administers the first dose. Chasing an appointment for the second dose can be frustrating.

This made the news and makes you wonder how often this happens before it's discovered and/or reported. I've heard contamination/cross contamination issues from people who worked for or in the industry and yet there was zero news.

Had this happened under Trump's watch, the left would have attacked relentlessly claiming the buck stops with him.

Exactly. How many issues are there, really. And these pharma companies can't be sued if any harm comes to any person.

perhaps, and my comment would've been just as valid.
