What about J&J, Steve? That’s the one that killed my 83 year old father.😞

It's WAAAAAY worse.

The J&J almost killed my best friend. Fell out in the parking lot because he couldn’t breathe and had to spend four days in the hospital. Same happened to my oldest sister. Luckily they both lived, but my sister told me that her heart still doesn’t beat properly.

All shots could potentially kill you.

Personally that’s how I see it.

The age-normalized mortality risk in the Czech data is even higher for J&J than Moderna.

Relative to a baseline of unvaccinated people, the mortality risk in 2021-2022 was about 0.42 for Pfizer, 0.50 for AstraZeneca, 0.55 for Moderna, and 0.65 for J&J:

I adjusted the mortality risk only for age group and observation month. The difference between the vaccine brands might be explained by confounders I didn't adjust for.

I assigned people to a vaccine brand based on the brand of their first dose, which was usually also the brand of their subsequent doses.

From this plot that shows ASMR by month and vaccine type, you can also see that on most months J&J had higher ASMR than the other three main vaccine types: https://sars2.net/czech2.html#ASMR_by_month_and_vaccine_type.

Good question. I believe J&J was a DNA jab containing venom peptides that were artificially made from genetic sequences of every venom peptide ever discovered and stored in genbank. They take the DNA sequence of the selected venom or venoms, and use an enzyme called phosphodiesterase, and e coli to produce massive amounts of peptides, then they lyophilize them for use in drugs such as blood pressure drugs ending in 'pril.' They can use this technology to insert the peptides via vaccination. They put them in DNA plasmids. The plasmids highjack e coli bacteria in the gut, using it as a host to produce the peptides. All of this is documented on pubmed, and it's mentioned in the mRNA US patent. The DOD funded the research leading to this technology, and they use military contractors to produce the mRNA vaccines. They hired Pfizer and Moderna to put their names on the products. This is what I recall from my own research which was done after the COVID vaccines were rolled out.
