THE FDA RECOMMENDING A PAUSE IN
THE USE OF THE JOHNSON A
JOHONAIE OUT OF AN
ABUNDAN OF CAUTIO TO
INVESTIGATE CLOTTING REPORTS.
THE CDC AND THE FDA ARE
REVIEWING DATA INVOLVING SIX
REPORTED U.S. CASES OF A RARE
AND SEVERE TYPE OF BLOOD CLOT
IN INDIVIDUALS AFTER GETTING
THE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
VACCINE.
VACCINE.
VACCINE. ALL RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW THESE
ADVERSE EVENTS APPEAR TO BE
EXTREMELY RARE.
EXTREMELY RARE. THE CDC AND THE FDA WILL
FURTHER REVIEW THESE CASES.
>>
>>
>> OF
>> OF COURSE THIS WE'RE GUESSING
IS GOING TO LEAD TO A LOT
OF QUESTIONS THAT A LOT OF YOU
NATURALLY HAVE AND WE'RE HAPPY
THAT WE HAVE AN EXPERT TO
ADDRESS THEM.
ADDRESS THEM. >>
>>
>> YEAH,
>> YEAH, DR. SEYED HOSSEIN ALREADY
SCHEDULED TO JOIN US.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY
TO GET YOU RIGHT NOW WHILE WE
HAVE YOU TO COMMENT ON THIS
NEWS FROM THE FDA RECOMMENDING
A PAUSE ON THE JMJ VACCINE, DR.
HUSSEIN, YOU LEARNED ABOUT THIS
BREAKING NEWS JUST A FEW
MINUTES AGO.
MINUTES AGO. >>
>>
>> WHAT
>> WHAT WAS YOUR INITIAL REACTION,
YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT?
SO IT'S INTERESTING.
SO I JUST WANT VIEWERS TO KEEP
IN MIND THERE ARE MILLIONS
OF DOSES OF THIS PARTICULAR
VACCINE THAT HAVE BEEN ALREADY
ADMINISTERED AND WE NOW HAVE
THESE SIX CASES OF A RARE BLOOD
BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT
THEY'RE INVESTIGATED.
THEY'RE INVESTIGATED. SO SUPPORT WHAT THE CDC AND FDA
RECOMMENDING WHILE THERE'S A
PAUSE AND FURTHER USE OF THIS
VACCINE.
VACCINE.
VACCINE. BUT JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR
VIEWERS DON'T JUMP TO
CONCLUSIONS AND WE WAIT FOR THE
INVESTIGATION TO SEE WHAT THE
RESULTS ARE.
RESULTS ARE. >>
>>
>> WE
>> WE HAD
>> WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS
BEFORE.
BEFORE.
BEFORE. AT LEAST THE TYPE OF BLOOD CLOT
THAT THEY'RE LOOKING INTO WAS
ALSO ONE THEY WERE CONCERNED
ABOUT WITH THE ASTRAZENECA
VACCINE IN EUROPE.
BUT IN THAT CASE THEY HAD MORE
OR LESS RULED IF I'M CORRECT
THAT EVEN IF THERE WAS A LINK
THE BENEFITS FAR OUTWEIGHED THE
RISKS.
RISKS.
RISKS. WHY IS THAT AND HOW COULD THAT
MAYBE APPLY IF THEY DO FIND A
LINK HERE WITH JOHNSON AND
JOHNSON?
JOHNSON?
JOHNSON? >>
>>
>> WELL,
>> WELL, THE DATA IS THERE FOR
EVERYBODY TO SEE IN TERMS
OF HOW MANY FATALITIES WE'VE
HAD FROM THIS PANDEMIC AND HOW
MUCH SUFFERING WE'VE HAD
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS
COMPARED TO A FEW CASES WHERE
THERE IS A BLOOD CLOT THAT'S
FORM.
FORM.
FORM. I'M
FORM. I'M NOT TRYING TO MINIMIZE
ANYTHING BUT GIVEN THE GRAVITY
OF THE SITUATION, THE VERY
DEADLY PANDEMIC WE'VE ALL BEEN
EXPERIENCING OVER THE LAST
YEAR, THOSE ARE THE RISKS
VERSUS BENEFITS THAT THE
EUROPEAN MEDICINES AGENCY
LOOKED INTO BEFORE RESUMING
WITH ASTRAZENECA IN THE US
AGAIN WITH JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
.
.
. WE
. WE NEED
. WE NEED TO SEE WHAT THE RESULTS
SHOW OF THE INVESTIGATION IF
THERE INDEED IS A LINK AND IF
SO THEN WHAT THE CDC FDA
RECOMMENDED THEREAFTER.
RECOMMENDED THEREAFTER. >>
>>
>> THE
>> THE DOCTOR SAID FOR OUR VIEWERS
RIGHT NOW WHO ARE WATCHING WHO
HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE JOHNSON
AND JOHNSON VACCINE, THEY MAY
BE A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED.
THEY MAY BE ALARMED.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THEY
SHOULD BE MONITORING IN THEIR
OWN HEALTH SPECIFICALLY WITH
THIS NEWS THAT JUST CAME OUT SO
ANY KIND OF WEAKNESS OR NAUSEA,
VOMITING, DIZZINESS,
VOMITING, DIZZINESS, LIGHTHEADEDNESS IF YOU FEEL ANY
OF THOSE IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING
ANY OF THOSE SYMPTOMS, THEN
PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR
DOCTOR, CALL ONE ONE AND SEEK
MEDICAL CARE.
MEDICAL CARE. DO NOT DELAY.
BUT AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT VIEWERS DON'T PANIC AT THE
SAME TIME GIVEN THE MILLIONS
OF DOSES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
ADMINISTERED AND A FEW CASES
THAT HAVE JUST COME UP.
>>
>>
>> OK,
>> OK, THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. LET'S GET TO SOME OTHER VIEWER
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. WE'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD ONE
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. OF
HERE. OF COURSE THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES
COVID-19 IS THE SARS-COV-2
VIRUS.
VIRUS.
VIRUS. IT'S A NEW VIRUS BUT WE KNOW
ABOUT THE FAMILY, THE SARS
FAMILY AND THAT LEADS US TO
THIS QUESTION FROM A VIEWER WHO
WROTE IN TO SAY MY SON HAD THE
SARS VACCINE IN THE MILITARY
BEFORE GOING OVERSEAS.
>>
>>
>> I
>> I UNDERSTAND THAT SARS AND
COVERED ARE SIMILAR.
WOULD HE STILL NEED THE COVID
VACCINE?
VACCINE?
VACCINE? ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY. SO THE SARS VIRUS IF YOU MAY
RECALL WAS AROUND TWO DECADES
AGO.
AGO.
AGO. IT'S
AGO. IT'S SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT
COVID-19 VIRUS.
COVID-19 VIRUS. THEY BOTH BELONG TO THE SAME
FAMILY BUT THERE ARE DISTINCT
VIRUSES THERE, DIFFERENT
VIRUSES AND THE WAY THEY BEHAVE
IS DIFFERENT AS WELL.
SO IF IT'S YOUR SON'S TURN NOW
TO GET VACCINATED FOR COVID-19
,PLEASE ASK HIM TO ROLL UP HIS
SLEEVE AND GET THE VACCINE.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE EXACTLY IS
IF HE'S IN CONNECTICUT OR IN
ANOTHER STATE OR OVERSEAS BUT
THE RISK OF COMMUNITY
TRANSMISSION IS DIFFET
WELL AS IT TAKES TWO TO SIX
WEEKS DEPENDING ON THE VACCINE
CHOSEN FOR IMMUNITY TO DEVELOP.
>>
>>
>> AND
>> AND WE
>> AND WE HAVE ANOTHER VIEWER
QUESTION FROM EMILY.
EMILY WROTE IN ASKING IF YOU
CONTRACT COVID19 DO YOU HAVE TO
WAIT TO GET A VACCINE A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF TIME?
>>
>>
>> SO
>> SO THE
>> SO THE CDC SUGGESTS THAT YOU
MAY CHOOSE TO WAIT FOR A 90 DAY
PERIOD FOLLOWING RECENT
INFECTION BUT ONCE YOUR ACUTE
SYMPTOMS HAVE RESOLVED, ONCE
YOU'RE OUT OF THAT 14 DAY
ISOLATION PERIOD, YOU'RE GOOD
TO GO.
TO GO.
TO GO. YOU'RE ABLE TO GET VACCINATED.
THE ONLY CAVEAT HERE THAT I
WANT TO REMIND VIEWERS IS IF
YOU'VE RECEIVED CONVALESCENT
PLASMA OR MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY
DURING YOUR RECENT ELIZABETH
COVID19 THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO
WAIT FOR A 90 DAY PERIOD SO
THERE'S NO INTERACTION BETWEEN
THE COVID-19 VACCINE AS WELL AS
THE THERAPY YOU RECEIVED.
>>
>>
>> OK,
>> OK, DR. HUSSAIN, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO
JOIN US AND TO ADDRESS THAT
BREAKING NEWS.
BREAKING NEWS. OF COURSE, HOPEFULLY
