Pfizer CEO Hints at Annual Covid Vaccine Booster Roll-Outs

The CEO of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer says he believes life will return to normal “within a year” – but his vision of ‘normal’ involves “annual re-vaccinations” against Covid. MailOnline has the story.

“Finally, Moderna’s CEO said this week that the pandemic is on course to be over in about a year. Do you agree with that?” ABC This Week host George Stephanapoulos asked [Albert] Bourla on Sunday.

“I agree that, within a year, I think we will be able to come back to normal life,” he concurred.

“I don’t think that this means that variants will not be continuing coming,” Bourla countered. “And I don’t think that this means that we should be able to live our lives without having vaccinations, basically. But that’s – again, remains to be seen.”

He said that the most likely outcome is that people will need to continue to get Covid booster vaccines annually, similar to how people get the flu shot each year to protect against the most likely variant of the influenza virus that year.

“The most likely scenario for me, it is that, because the virus is spread all over the world, that we will continue seeing new variants that are coming out,” he said. “And, also, we will have vaccines that – they will last at least a year.”

“And I think the most likely scenario – it is annual re-vaccinations. But we don’t know, really. We need to wait and see the data,” the pharmaceutical company chief added.

Pfizer is the only company of the three who were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Covid vaccines in the U.S. that has also been approved for a booster.

The booster shot, however, was only permitted by the FDA to be distributed to elderly people – those 65 and older – and high-risk individuals, like those with autoimmune disorders.

The Centers for Disease Control overruled on Friday the advisory panel’s decision, allowing the booster to be distributed for other high-risk individuals, including those who live or work in high contact areas. …

Morningstar analyst Karen Andersen expects boosters alone to bring in about $26 billion in global sales next year for Pfizer and BioNTech and around $14 billion for Moderna if they’re endorsed for nearly all Americans.

Pfizer’s stock price shot up from $30.99 on March 8th, 2020 – days before the World Health Organisation declared Covid a global pandemic – to $43.94 today.

“So instead we are heading for vaccines that reduce severity of illness rather than protect against infection, provide only short lived immunity, and will at best have been trialled by the manufacturer against placebo. As well as damaging public confidence and wasting global resources by distributing a poorly effective vaccine, this could change what we understand a vaccine to be. Instead of long term, effective disease prevention it could become a suboptimal chronic treatment. This would be good for business but bad for global public health.”

The pandemic was supposed to last possibly until next year last year already. From the boss of Pfizer, such a statement just means We’ll not let go of this money making machine voluntarily in the next 12 months. And if he can get away with that, he’ll be telling the same story next year.

How ’bout you cunts start doing the right thing? Huh? That’s right, you won’t. You’re fucking greedy lying fucking dogs. So you know where you can stick your fucking booster shot? Right up your fucking arse, that’s it.That’s the right thing. The right thing, you fucking sellout drug pushing fucking losers!

Harsh!

Why does the same problem keep occurring with this data – namely the lack of standardisation? Absolute numbers are not very informative unless they are contextualised to a population size.

Sadly he’s right.

Once vaccinated the only way to limit ADE (and other negative) effects will be to have an annual revaccination (if not 6 monthly).

Of course, this will be associated with annual risks of blood-clot disorders and other serious side effects/complications.

We should have only vaccinated the most vulnerable. They were in a position of high risk from covid and the it was probably worth risking the vaccine for the benefit of reduced covid risk.

“We should have only vaccinated the most vulnerable”

No, No, NO!!!

Pure ascientific bullshit from the ‘Narrative’ about one of the untested sub-groups.

Additionally, the latest data shows absolutely no ARR for the most vulnerable in terms of age.

I’m with you. It’s confusing and frustrating to hear a qualified skeptic speak positively about the shots for the vulnerable. Why would anyone need the shots, if proper treatment is dispensed?

Because a true skeptic is skeptical of everything – inc. the things that already support their narrative. I’m skeptical of the jabs, of ivermectin, of ventilators, of nanobots and population control…the whole shebang. It’s a state of mind. Skeptics shouldn’t be “jabs bad treatment good” – they should be in favour of everyone having the freedom to do their own research and make their own choices.

No-one told 80 year olds that the ‘vaxx’ had not been tested on their age group and I doubt if many of them (or even their panic-stricken families) did the research. Freedom of choice is the right way to go but it would be nice if the governments and medics told the truth as well.

Oh I definitely agree that the coercion in all its many forms has been disgusting. But people having the jabbyjabs so that they can go on holiday or “get their freedoms back” deserve what’s coming to them now as far as I’m concerned. They made their choice knowing full well it was BS.

Should probably made a proper vaccination for COVID as well, not the current clot-shot.

Probably everything EXCEPT the clot protein which would make the virus inert.

In the context of Dengue fever, ADE is a theoretical explanation for more severe disease upon reinfection: There are four so-called serotypes of Dengue viruses and it’s conjectured that antibodies specific to one of them can bind to another but without neutralizing it. The same antibodies then facilitate the un-neutralized virus being engulfed by a macrophage but instead of being eaten, it starts to replicate inside of it. This phenomenon has reportedly also been shown as possible by lab experiments.

Taking this theory for granted, there’s obviously no way revaccination generating the same kind of defective antibodies could do anything to improve the situation.

NB: Summary of Wikipedia on the topic, something I finally read because this acronym keeps being thrown around. Corrections welcome.

There is a traditional vaccine being developed by a company called Novavax which is now seeking approval. It will be interesting to see what happens. They have trialed it on large numbers so hopefully they are honest trials.
If it gets kicked out it may be an indication that the worst scenario is taking place as opposed to just pure greed. Another possibility is that a larger Pharma takes it over and converts it to mRNA quietly.
Keep an eye on it.

Even if you are anti-vax it could be a good “tell” as to intent.

I’m losing count now of acquaintances who used to brag about being “double-jabbed”, always said with an expression caught between deep pride over being a good person and the embarrassment of being so self indulgently proud that derived from a bygone era where people were regarded as sinful for exhibiting that behaviour.

These medical procedures are so useless, they are causing some really stressful cognitive dissonance that they aren’t protecting people at all. Indeed, they seem to be causing a lot of very nasty injuries.

The big question is, whether or not this will awaken some of these sheep from their pious slumber.

I’m not going to hold my breath though. In what is fast becoming an idiom, we must say “Look at Australia “ Which is precisely why the resistance there must be hidden. So if you know of any of these bemused Branch Covidians, this might be a good time to politely re-engage and try and wake them up a bit.

or I guess just wait for Winter….

They can push their ‘boosters’ as much as they want, but sorry Pfizer, vaccination isn’t mandatory in the UK and can’t be made so without very significant changes to law that would look distinctly odd at the tail end of a so-called pandemic. It looks to me like the aim was to inject as many victims as possible in an initial shock-and-awe campaign, who will then be reliant on boosters to avoid the effects of ADE for evermore. It was in effect an intelligence test, and if you’re reading this you probably passed. Good job 👏

I’ve heard quite a number of older friends and relatives set to receive their ‘boosters’ say they’re not having them, so I can only hope this is going on across the country. Just don’t think right-minded people will be up for this. Sorry Pfizer.

Yes, but will they stay strong? I know people who said they weren’t having vaccines at the beginning of this business but who had both ASAP. I also know people who say they’re not having the booster but I don’t believe them! The peer group pressure is enormous where we live.

I have to agree with you. I too have heard a few people who are double jabbed say they won’t get the booster(s). However, these were the very same people who consider myself to be a crazy conspiracy theorist.

So when the numbers are ‘scary’ in the reports during the winter, and fear is circulating society, it will be interesting to see the percentage of those double-jabbed taking the booster. I wouldn’t be shocked to see numbers pass the 90% mark.

Pfizer – the company with a criminal record so extensive, you have to wonder how they are still in business. Because of corporate corruption of course. Corporate culture is abhorrent. People become corporatised at work, and it changes their soul. It’s very ugly to watch.

For me the most important story involving Pfizer (and J & J) is the fact that their injections switch of cancer suppressors in order to trick the cells into allowing access to the synthetic mRNA shite. The folk who designed this tech are up for the Nobel Prize, haha. Will Daily Sceptic ever cover this, or is that not allowed by Ratschild and co?

People have not, hitherto, been viciously bullied and coerced into having flu shots. And flu shots have not been forced on those who don’t need them. And the decision of which flu scariant to attack has always been pure, roll-out-the-dice guesswork.
