False. A reasonable person would know that the shots don't last after they are thawed out. If someone skipped the appointment, the ethical thing to do is put it in the next warm body that's standing by rather than waste the shot. No one owes anyone any "coming clean" over encouraging others not to let those shots go to waste.

Incorrect. J&J vaccine are designed to be stored at regular refrigerator temperatures. They are different from the mRNA vaccines which expire shortly after thawing. So J&J shelf life is much much longer than Pfizer and Moderna and are good for areas where recipients returning for a 2nd vaccine shot are less likely.

Irrelevant. J&J wasn't available at the time of the incident.

J&J was literally what the church was providing. It has been mentioned multiple times in these comment threads.

It was authorized for emergency use at the end of February. Just because it wasn't available locally doesn't mean it wasn't available.
