A third effective weapon was added to America’s arsenal against the coronavirus on Saturday when the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization for a vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson.

The company said it would start shipping millions of doses early this week, and would provide the United States with 100 million doses by the end of June. Together with 600 million doses of the nation’s first two authorized vaccines, made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, that are due to be delivered over the next four months, that ought to be enough to cover every American adult who wants to be vaccinated.

The new vaccine differs markedly from the two already in use in the United States. Here is how they compare.
One shot instead of two

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is administered in a single shot, while the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are given in two shots several weeks apart.

The way it works

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses a different method to prime the body to fight off Covid-19: a viral vector called Ad26. Viral vectors are common viruses that have been genetically altered so that they do not cause illness but can still cause the immune system to build up its defenses. The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines use messenger RNA to do that.

How well it works

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is rated as highly effective at preventing serious illness and death, as the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are. It is also very effective at preventing milder illness, though a bit less so than those two. It appears to do well against the highly contagious B.1.351 variant, first identified in South Africa, that has given at least one other vaccine candidate trouble.
Storage and handling

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine does not have to be stored at extremely low temperatures like the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. It can safely be kept in an ordinary refrigerator for three months, much longer than the Moderna vaccine, which spoils after a month if not kept frozen.
Side effects

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine appears to be less prone than the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines to trigger the kinds of side effects that require monitoring after the injection, which may make it more suitable for use at drive-through vaccination sites. There have been reports that side effects tend to be felt more strongly after second doses, which the Johnson & Johnson vaccine does not require.

New Confession

Living with my aunt…..i got home from classes one day and my aunt was rushing around in a panic, apparently a lifelong friend had been taken to the hospital. She had me follow her quickly next door to where the sisters/landlords/my lesbian aunt’s long term relationship partners lived. She told them what was going on and asked them if they could watch me while she was gone, keeping in mind that they were already aware of why i was having to live with my aunt, they knew of my “little problem”. My aunt told me that i waa to behave and obey them no differently than her. My aunt left and i was rold to sit and watch tv with them. Since i already drove home from classes each day anticipating my spanking from my aunt, i was already a bit primed for and disappointed with this situation and they could tell i guess because they asked me why i was distracted and fidgeting. They were not harsh but were very clear in telling me to not lie to them because if they had any suspicions they would tell my aunt without fail. So i had to admit that i was a little off and they immediately asked if it was because of the delay in my spanking. That my aunt told them everything anyway. So i had to admit to these women, who were far greater anti male than my aunt seemed, that yes i was fidgety because i had not been spanked. They pushed harder, making me say why i had to and deserved to be spanked. It was very embarassing and degrading. I was told to they would fill in that burden of my aunt’s today, and whenever my aunt needed their help in the future. I was fairly soundly verbally degraded, even being told that they did not want their property, whether their home or the one i shared with my aunt, dirtied by such a filthy little masturbator. They told me that they had already asked my aunt to occasionally administer my spankings for that reason. They left for the kitchen and came back each holding a spatula and a towel and pointed to a large overstufded chair and told me i knew what to do. I was actually not looking forward to it like i would have with my aunt. I was told pants and underwear down to my ankles and had to place the towels on the chair cushion to kneel on, and kneel and brace my elbows on the back of the chair. I sensed their approach and was immediately screaminfg and crying because the spanking was on both cheeks at the same time and very swift and hard. It was in total silence without a soothing voice from my aunt to mentally and emotionally anchor or ground myself to while enduring it. It was all over my cheeks and up and down the backs of my thighs, and i was told to spread my knees apart and they whaled on my inner thighs as well. I was sobbing and pleading without any mercy. When they were done they made me stay there and disregarded me completely. I tried to calm myself telling myself my aunt would take care of me when she got home but thinking of her meant that i was thinking of her bare in the morning showers and i tried but failed to will myself to not have an erection. When they saw that they were angry and they actually made an ice pack and forced me to keep it clamped between my thighs to shrink my g e nit als as they lit me up even worse. It was so relentless that i actually briefly lost bladder control slightly and spurted urine down my leg. More anger, they made me go empty my bladder and come back and resume the spanking. Then i was allowed to pull my pants back up and sit quietly intil my aunt returned. They reported everything and when my aunt walked me back home she said she was sorry she had to rely on their help knowing they would be much harsher but she was also disappointed in me for having expereinced the arousal. She also said that she wished she had thought about using an ice pack before. She did show tenderness by letting me shower to warm up and soothe the pain in my cheeks and thighs, and told me that she was proud of me that my arousal was because of thoughts of her and not about them spanking me. She held me through the night consoling me and saying that she should have expected that i would be more easily aroused since i had not ej acul ated in so long but she did not know how she wanted to adress that right now.

To be continued.
