CDC recommends Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines over Johnson & Johnson shot

COVID-19 cases are surging in parts of the country as the Delta and Omicron variants spread throughout major cities and towns. The Centers for Disease Control is no longer recommending the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, due to rare blood clots. Dr. Stanley Perlman, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, joins CBSN to discuss the pandemic and vaccines.

Ummm... So, why did they CDC affirm that JnJ was "safe and effective" all the way up until now? It's almost as if they don't really know the long term results.

[staceyharvey]

Why doesn’t CBS ever report on the countries like Germany, Denmark, Sweden, etc that have said no way to Moderna for young men, 30 and under?

[michaelnolan]

Everyone at the CDC should be required disclose their stock holdings and their professional relationships with colleagues at pharmaceutical companies.

[gailynbrock]

And they wonder why people are suspicious of the CDC.

[mightylad]

Since these vaccines are so safe, effective, and reliable. Why no liability for side effects?
Criminal!

The only thing rising is the amount of BS that's been flowing for two years.

I love how YouTube took the dislike counter off specifically for videos like these

[SkinnySkinch]

The CDC has lost almost all credibility.

[sashabenitez]

Ok what about the “extremely rare” heart inflammation from Pfizer that I had?

[thejboy]

It’s so funny how they took the dislikes away but 6k people watched the video and only 64 likes 😂😂😂😂

Johnson and Johnson didn’t pay the CDC enough 😞

[LStottmann]

I find it extremely crazy in the history of YouTube that we were always able to see dislikes and likes and during a pandemic is when dislikes were taking away? And let’s make it on all videos even people’s vlogs and everyday videos, because you know, if we do it for everyone, it won’t look as suspicious 😂

[ryanbrown]

Because it's not being reported. I had the J&J shot and I've never felt so close to death the first 24 hours. Since then, I've had swelling around my heart that hasn't gone away yet. My doctors know about this, but why hasn't this been brought up? There's obviously more to the story that they don't want out. Wake up.

[hannahtedeschi]

Moderna and Pfizer literally come with the exact same risks as j&j

[xxdamiandxx]

Why is just having a positive COVID test so terrible?!? Omicron variant is significantly less deadly, which improves our survival and thus immunity...

[gducharme]

Why would anybody trust the employees of the CDC or any others who get compensated for consulting to these companies?

[TheirOwnWords]

The CDC stopped counting breakthroughs case at the end of April so please do not tell me they’re tracking closely anything!

[Pops]

Didn't the cdc say oxycodone was safe and effective with little or no addictive qualities. Now I'm addicted to the booster shots, and I kinda like it, all the attention, being in the cool kid club, etc.

[KaiTakApproach]

I like the part where the CDC jumps ahead of the FDA here. Smells like "Science".

[Isthatbaloney]

CDC recommends whoever gives them the biggest kickbacks.
