Johnson & Johnson temporarily halted its coronavirus vaccine trial after one study participant contracted an "unexplained disease," the company said, although it offered few additional details on the setback.
The study was voluntarily discontinued by the company, prior to any intervention by the FDA, which therefore believes the trial is still fully valid and confirmed. Therefore, if the cause of the disease is understood, the test may then be resumed immediately.
The pharmaceutical company's 60,000 patient vaccine study was suspended due to an adverse reaction in a volunteer, J&J confirmed to Stat News Monday, citing privacy concerns and refusing to outline the patient's symptoms. “We must respect the privacy of this participant. We are also learning more about this participant's illness and it is important to know all the facts before sharing more information, ”the company said in a statement.
J & J's vaccine candidate is not the only one suspected of major side effects, as the inoculation of AstraZeneca also resulted in unexplained symptoms in two participants, at least one of whom developed a "rare neurological condition" after his second dose. , suggesting the company suspend testing for a security review. Although the second patient's symptoms were not disclosed, an anonymous source familiar with the study told the New York Times that they showed the same disease as the first, a condition known as transverse myelitis.
At this point, two of the major vaccines trusted for rapid success are stuck. Remain Moderna and Pfeizer. Wouldn't it be better to focus on mass-available therapies and achieve herd immunity than run after dangerous vaccines? If not, Putin's Sputnik V remains.
