On Friday, the Archdiocese of New Orleans released a similar statement that stated that “the latest vaccine from Janssen is morally compromised.”
On Saturday, Johnson & Johnson vaccine received an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration.
Johnson & Johnson did not take that attack lying down, they released a statement to Fox News defending their research.
