FDA revokes emergency approval for Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine: The revocation happened officially due to the manufacturer’s own request, according to the FDA.

(LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) of the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine.

The revocation happened officially due to the manufacturer’s own request, according to the FDA. The Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID inoculation is produced by its subsidiary Janssen Biotech and was authorized for emergency use on February 27, 2021.

“On May 22, 2023, Janssen Biotech, Inc. requested the voluntary withdrawal of the emergency use authorization (EUA) of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine,” the FDA website states. “Janssen Biotech, Inc. informed the FDA that the last lots of the vaccine purchased by the U.S. Government have expired, there is no demand for new lots of the vaccine in the U.S., and they do not intend to update the strain composition of this vaccine to address emerging variants. On June 1, 2023, FDA revoked the EUA for this vaccine.”

While J&J’s EUA was officially withdrawn because all the available doses in the U.S. have expired and the pharma giant decided to discontinue the product, the FDA and others have raised concerns about the safety of the J&J injection in the past.

In May 2022, the FDA limited the use of the J&J COVID vaccine for some adults due to increased risk of blood clots. A year earlier, in April 2021, the FDA and CDC had temporarily put a “pause” on the J&J shot after cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) occurred within a week or two after receiving the inoculation.

Moreover, in July 2021, the FDA added the risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare neurological disorder that can cause paralysis, as a potential side effect of the J&J COVID shot after preliminary reports of GBS following vaccination had been recorded.

“The FDA should have revoked the emergency approval long ago because, first, there is no emergency and, second, J&J has an evidently unfavorable risk-benefit ratio,” German author and university professor Stefan Homburg opined on Twitter. “But then the agency would have admitted its mistake. This is an elegant way to get out of it.”

They see potential lawsuits to a very REAL and EXISTING problem.

Negative risk ratio? All I heard for 2 years is the Mrna and spike protein Is going to get you from the other faux vaccines. Didn’t hear diddly about j&j after the first month they approved the vaxs. All the news was the other 2. I got the J&J when it came out, not a single problem or side effect and no viruses. I call that a win. Everyone else I know that got the J&J jab had no problems. No wonder moderna/Pfizer cabal joined forces to kill it.

When I couldn’t talk a close friend out of getting vaxed I told him to at least get the J&J shot instead of the mRNA ones. He’s fine so far. Seems the risk from the J&J injection occurred soon after getting it but after that you’re in the clear. Not so with the mRNA ones as those unfortunate people will eventually find out.

I got the J&J and developed all sorts of crap, including bilateral lymphadenopathy. My submandibular lymph node on my left was the size of a tangerine for five months and hurt like hell. I also have a weird arthritis paired with synovitis that I didn’t have before, my blood pressure is a roller coaster after having been stable, and my liver function is all over the map.

You’re very lucky.

It seems to me that the government and MSM have treated the J&J vaccine more critically than the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. Perhaps the difference is warranted, but I have to wonder.

Emergency? Emergency use authorization?

The emergency was politically canceled, depending on which talking head said it and which day one might cite, but finally the Biden White House declared an end to the EMERGENCY.

So, the people's masters at the CDC/FDA notice? And do it for one but not all "emergency" products? The narrative has fallen apart.
