NBC News: “Documents released by the Food and Drug Administration Wednesday indicate that Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine is overall safe and highly effective against the most severe outcomes of the illness. The favorable review comes two days before a panel of independent advisors to the FDA is scheduled to discuss the company’s application for emergency use. It is widely expected that the Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, or VRBPAC, will vote to recommend authorization of the vaccine. The FDA is not required to along with the panel’s recommendation, but it usually does.”
