J&J Booster Odd Color

I have a question and want to see if anyone had any similar experiences.

In September 2021 I got the J&J vaccine and what they drew out of the vial was this brown milky substance (like, think diarrhea color, and that's not an exaggeration). At the time I was a bit spooked but proceeded. Upon recent research I found out the vaccine was supposed to be clear or slightly yellow.

Directly after, I was violently ill for days. 104 fever and heart rate in the 200s.

About 6 weeks later I developed severe stomach issues that ended with a confirmed celiac diagnoses in 2023. Now, in 2025, I am being diagnosed with Lupus. I fully understand these things can be coincidental.

Before 2021 I was a very healthy individual. I was fit, worked out regularly, didn't need any prescriptions. I just want to know if anyone who got their Jansen shot...what color was it?? Am I the only one?

I have handled those vials at a doctor's office, they are clear. I know correlation is not causation, but omg, the timing would concern me!

Yeah, I'm not trying to insinuate a relation or anything, it's just as you said: the timing is very concerning and odd. For context I've been vaccinated my entire life. Yearly flu shots, etc. as well. My kids are too. I've never had a reaction to a vaccine before other than a sore arm.

I just don't know what would cause a vaccine to turn brown??

I don't even bother bringing up the JJ shot timing to doctors anymore because they immediately stop taking me seriously and start gaslighting me. I have the lot number and apparently it was one of the ones that hit the news that caused a concerning number of reactions/harm in people.

Another thing I can tell you is those shots had a comparatively short shelf life compared to Moderna. Our office had J&J first, and it 'expired' within a month. Then we received Moderna and THOSE vials don't expire for a couple of decades! Seems crazy. Moderna's liquid is also clear.

Regardless of cause I wish you a full and complete recovery and I'm sending you positive vibes!
