It’s wrong because the first dose of the mRNA vaccine is approximately as good as the J&J vaccine. Give or take, “no evidence” blah blah blah. (what I am referring to is there is no gold standard RCT head to head comparing this exact scenario so we have ‘no evidence’ as to what will happen, we can only eyeball a graph and say, ‘well immunity seems to keep rising with the mRNA over time, and at 10 days it is about 50%, so it’s probably about 66% like the J&J vaccine at 30 days’. Similarly, we don’t actually know the J&J vaccine is any worse, there is “no evidence”, because it got tested with a different RCT, which means different people and possibly different strains of covid around. So there is a chance it has the same effectiveness as the mRNA vaccines but probably not)
Second, as you may have heard, the “exacting distribution conditions” were also overblown and it turns out a regular freezer is good enough, at least for a week, which is sufficient to distribute the doses.
