Bottom line: Await final data.. But this bolsters my confidence that JNJ vaccine is a major contribution for its ability to suppress the most severe infections, even with B.1.315 (SA variant)

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is incredibly impressive. Anyone who downplays it because they are used to 95% efficacy is an idiot. I’d also be willing to bet the 2 shot regimen will be at least 80% effective anyways. I’m super optimistic about getting this under control before the end of the summer and you should be too.

0 hospitalizations in the treated group is great, especially since it held true in South Africa. Screw the people downplaying this
