According to Stat News, on May 5, 2022, The J&J adenovirus Covid vaccine "was limited to people 18 and older who cannot take one of the other available vaccines for medical reasons, or who simply will not agree to be vaccinated with one of the messenger RNA vaccines made by Moderna and by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech."
The reason?
Peter Marks, the FDA's vaccines lead, told STAT the agency reached its decision after a recent review of the data on the vaccine revealed another person in this country had died after receiving it — the ninth such death — in the first quarter of the year.Nine deaths.

"If we see deaths and there is an alternative vaccine that is not associated with deaths but is associated with similar efficacy...we felt it was time at this point to make a statement on the [product's] fact sheet that this was not a first-line vaccine," said Marks.
With one death for every 2 million doses given in this country, the FDA decided that is a risk most people don't need to take, Marks said.
Comment: Yet more evidence that they wanted the mRNA shots into as many arms as possible and weren't fond of the competition J&J lowering uptake numbers. Profits could explain it, but, again, was there another, more nefarious reason they wanted their experimental gene technology in every person on the planet?
