Vaksin Johnson & Johnson dapat lampu hijau
TERJEMAHAN SINAR HARIAN | | 28 Februari 2021


WASHINGTON - Amerika Syarikat (AS) pada Sabtu meluluskan vaksin Covid-19 dihasilkan Johnson & Johnson (J&J) untuk kegunaan kecemasan, sekali gus menjadikan ia sebagai vaksin ketiga yang bakal digunakan bagi membendung penularan wabak yang telah meragut lebih 500,000 nyawa di negara itu.

Keputusan itu dibuat selepas Pentadbiran Makanan dan Ubat-ubatan (FDA) mengesahkan vaksin suntikan dos tunggal itu sangat berkesan untuk mencegah Covid-19 yang teruk termasuk ancaman varian baharu.

“Kelulusan diberikan memperluaskan lagi ketersediaan vaksin yang merupakan kaedah pencegahan terbaik bagi membantu kita memerangi pandemik ini,” kata pemangku pengarah badan pengawal selia itu, Janet Woodcock.

Di bawah pengumuman itu, individu berusia 18 tahun dan ke atas dibenarkan untuk mendapatkan suntikan vaksin J&J tersebut selepas ia mendapat sokongan sebulat suara panel pakar badan terbabit pada Jumaat lalu.

Keputusan ujian klinikal terbesar juga menunjukkan tahap keberkesanan vaksin itu terhadap gejala yang teruk mencapai tahap 85.9 peratus di AS, 81.7 peratus di Afrika Selatan dan 87.6 peratus di Brazil.

Secara keseluruhan, keputusan membabitkan ujian terhadap 39,321 sukarelawan membuktikan vaksin tersebut adalah 85.4 peratus efisien.

Presiden Joe Biden turut menyambut baik pengumuman tersebut.

“Ia adalah khabar gembira buat seluruh rakyat Amerika dan perkembangan yang menggalakkan di bawah usaha kita untuk menghentikan krisis ini,” katanya selepas vaksin J&J mendapat lampu hijau.

Firma farmaseutikal itu dijangka mengeluarkan kira-kira satu bilion dos vaksin Covid-19 pada 2021 dan telah mencapai perjanjian dengan beberapa negara serta merancang membekalkan 50 juta vaksin kepada negara miskin di bawah kerjasama dengan COVAX. - AFP

Johnson & Johnson Lawsuits:

J&J has faced hundreds of thousands of lawsuits over claims its products are defective.

Lawsuits point to internal documents showing J&J and its subsidiaries knew about problems with their products but sold them anyway.

In addition to individual product liability lawsuits, individual states who say Johnson & Johnson helped fuel the opioid crisis are suing the company for millions of dollars.

Pending Lawsuits Against J&J as of September 2020:

DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System:
Number of Lawsuits - 2,897
Injuries - dislocation, loosening, metallosis (metal poisoning), revision surgeries

Pinnacle Acetabular Cup:
Number of Lawsuits - 7,992
Injuries - dislocation, loosening, metallosis (metal poisoning), revision surgeries

Pelvic (Transvaginal) Mesh:
Number of Lawsuits - 284
Injuries - erosion, infection, pain, urinary problems, recurring prolapse, recurring incontinence

Xarelto:
Number of Lawsuits - 12,597
Injuries - severe, sometimes deadly bleeding events, blood clots, wound leaks, infection

Johnson’s Talcum Powder:
Number of Lawsuits - 20,449
Injuries - ovarian cancer, mesothelioma cancer

The company is facing smaller, emerging litigations for the interstitial cystitis (IC) drug Elmiron and DePuy’s Attune knee implants.

Elmiron litigation is in the beginning stages with a handful of cases filed in state courts, but lawyers expect hundreds more. People who filed lawsuits say Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals unit failed to warn them that the drug could cause vision problems, particularly a condition called pigmentary maculopathy.

DePuy’s Attune knee implant litigation is ongoing, and people who filed lawsuits say the implant loosened and failed leading to pain and revision surgery.

DePuy hip litigation is ongoing, and juries have awarded more than a billion dollars to plaintiffs who say they were injured by faulty Pinnacle hip implants. In February 2019, Bloomberg reported the company may be willing to pay $400 million to settle 3,300 of the claims but was not offering a global settlement.
