The approval was received from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority on Thursday, said Glenda Gray, who is also the president of the South African Medical Research Council. It will take about six weeks to enrol 12,000 volunteers, she said.
The South African study for the single-shot vaccine is part of a late-stage trial of as many as 60,000 people globally that was initially expected to yield results by year-end, the company said in September. The global study was paused in October after an unexplained illness in one of the participants.
J&J has signed an agreement to have 300 million doses of the vaccine made a year in South Africa by Aspen Pharmacare if it is approved.

How to Mislead All Humanity. Using a “Test” To Lock Down Society
By Dr. Pascal Sacré

Synopsis:
RT-PCR means Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction.
Positive RT-PCR test means being sick with COVID. This assumption is misleading.
Above 35 amplifications, it becomes impossible to isolate a complete virus sequence and culture it. The peak of viral shedding occurs at the onset of symptoms, with an amount of virus corresponding to approximately 108 or 8 amplifications.
8 amplificiations = 100 million copies /micro litre
35 amplifications = 1 copy / micro litre
With 1 copy/μl of a sample (Ct 35), without cough, without symptoms, one can understand why all these doctors and scientists say that a positive RT-PCR test means nothing at all in terms of medical and clinical assessment.
When the real-time test is made to continue with amplification until a result is detected, the efficacy of the result is being intentionally destroyed.
These misleading results are called “cases” when there is no genuine case to report.
There is no need for any vaccine. The deaths are fading away to zero.
