Though not a major vaccine maker, Johnson & Johnson (ticker: JNJ) was among the first companies to announce a Covid-19 vaccine development program back in January. Now, the company said its program has developed a candidate vaccine and two backup candidates. It plans to begin testing the vaccine in humans in September.
Johnson & Johnson said it planned to make the vaccine available “on a not-for-profit basis.” Still, shares of the company jumped nearly 8% in trading Monday afternoon as the S&P 500 rose 2.3%. Johnson & Johnson is the largest pharmaceutical company in the world.
“The world is facing an urgent public health crisis and we are committed to doing our part to make a Covid-19 vaccine available and affordable globally as quickly as possible,” Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky said in a statement.
In its statement, Johnson & Johnson said it was increasing manufacturing capacity and setting up new vaccine manufacturing capabilities inside the U.S. It said it aimed to manufacture a billion doses and that it had already begun making the vaccine so it could be ready if it is proven to work.
The company also announced a collaboration with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, a government agency that funds the development of certain categories of drugs. The company said Johnson & Johnson and the biomedical authority had jointly committed to spending $1 billion on vaccine research, and a separate funding partnership to find antivirals to treat Covid-19.
A widely available, safe, effective vaccine for Covid-19 would dramatically transform how health authorities deal with the virus. It is unclear how widely available the prospective Johnson & Johnson vaccine would be under an emergency-use authorization. Last week, the biotech firm Moderna (MRNA), which is also developing a Covid-19 vaccine, said it was possible a vaccine could be made available for health workers by this fall, though the company didn’t offer further details on the assertion.

Johnson & Johnson are part of the Bill Gates work for mandating vaccines and leading up to The Mark. This is not good news. This will kill people and separate them from God.
I looked into the development of this vaccine. It uses a cell line from an 18-week-old aborted fetus. This is not something that we as Christians should be excited about. This is something we should be praying against.
There are natural cures for most diseases even this one.
However,the THEY have cracked down on society to shut down
which will have far more negative effects than this virus if it keeps on.
Check into the “National Vaccine Information Center”,
also the agenda of Medical Marshal Law… taking ground right before our eyes.
I believe this vaccine may kill more people than the virus and I also believe it is a part of what will help to destroy many people in the world. I will continue to pray that God will destroy this darkness and I appreciate everyone who prays. So pray that evil will be exposed before it’s too late and that God will not not allow this virus to cover up other sins being perpetrated againgst people. Now our president has signed the 5G bill that is reported to be killing many which started after Wuhan, China had all it’s 5G installed. The Enemy of our souls is busy.
Lord I pray that in the creation of any new vaccine that ALL of the ingredients would be thoroughly tested and any ingredients obtained by nefarious means or used for any reason other than prevention of a disease would be exposed and removed from it. We pray for a review of ALL of the ingredients in the vaccines in use today and for those same ingredients individually to be reviewed and culled if found to be against Your criteria in origin or for Your purpose. Father, You have given us the power in the name of Christ and protection under the Holy Spirit to not be in fear, not now, not ever. May it be for Your glory alone that the invisible enemy is destroyed and the enemy of our souls be defeated. Amen
Dear Almighty Father,
We know that you are sovereign over all things and so, as your people, we rest in your wisdom and we look to you in faith. Help us to trust in you and to use this time wisely; not giving in to fear, but joyfully and obediently doing whatever you put before us, knowing that you work all things together for the good of those who love you. We pray that the Coronavirus would be used by you to bind our hearts to you. We pray that we would be tools in your hand to share the Gospel. May you further your kingdom through us. We pray that treatment would be discovered soon for the Coronavirus. And we pray that if a vaccine is developed, no aborted babies would be used in its development or its ingredients. Oh, Father God! Tear down any wicked scheme. Either convert or remove any wicked person. Wake up your Church and build your kingdom. Cause righteousness to prevail!
Went to reply on the 2 prayers…thank you popped up and they disappeared from the page
What happened ?
Father God, we come into Your presence with great praise and give You all honor and glory. None of the events happening now have taken You by surprise, and we thank You for being with us in this storm.
We ask for Your plan for us to prevail, and cancel all plans of the enemy, plans that are not from You.
Many companies are rushing to develop a vaccine against COVID-19. Under normal conditions a vaccine should be tested for a long time to evaluate its safety and effectiveness. Due to the urgency of the situation, we pray that Your hand would be supreme in this process…that the vaccine approved by You as safe and effective would be the only one to stand. Let all other vaccines that are not safe or effective be cancelled. We also know that You can deliver us from this disease without any help from us. We believe all our hope and victory is in You and we thank You in advance for Your love and care for us. We pray that the world would see Your glory and turn to You. In the merciful and powerful name of Jesus. Amen
Is anyone else a little nervous that this vaccine might be the ‘mark of the beast’? Makes you wonder. Let us be in deep prayer about it.
The Antichrist is not on the scene yet. I don’t think we will unknowingly receive his mark. We will know what it is and have a definite choice.
