When Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said March 13 that all Americans would need a second booster shot, it struck many covid experts as a self-serving remark without scientific merit. It also set off spasms of doubt over the country’s objectives in its fight against the coronavirus.
The vaccines’ protection against covid infection generally wanes within several months in all age groups. But experts disagree on whether frequent boosters, especially for younger people, can do anything about that. Two or three vaccinations protect most people from serious disease — but do relatively little to prevent infection, which is generally mild or asymptomatic, after three or four months.
Omicron may well eat into the profits since natural infection trumps the vaccines.
Not so fast *experts* say ...

Be careful getting your advice from a veterinarian!

good for cats and dogs as he has done for his investment accounts.
That said, several vets have worked in the vaccination field. Bossche (sp),who headed up Gates Foundation vax program, comes to mind.

One of those funny things you learn watching JD. I did have to fact check that. But yes, CEO is a veterinarian. My comment was meant tongue in cheek. Thanks for taking it in stride.
All the best to you as well.
Therefore, they need no help from veterinarians.
What is wrong with these brain dead denizens?
Can one not one see this is a bonanza for drug makers?
it is not an issue about keeping people healthy
so much as keeping billionaires in dough ..

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." ---- William Casey, CIA Director, 1981
I just took in a new probate case.
The decedent was 39, in perfect health. In order to maintain his employment for a company in the oil field business, he was required to vaccinate. 5 days after his second shot, he died of a massive stroke.

Covid-19 is not a respiratory disease, like a cold or the flu. It causes respiratory symptoms because the virus enters through the airways. However, the virus attacks the body's organs, even in mild cases, vaccinated or not, and does lasting damage.
Yet, all over the world, countries are reducing restrictions and getting back to "normal" for the sake of the global economy. People are resuming unprotected behaviors, assuring that the next wave will burn through the population like a wildfire.
Of those who are infected and survive, up to 59 percent have serious organ damage. It is believed that this organ damage may be the cause of the excess deaths that many countries around the world are reporting. Excess deaths are deaths not attributed to Covid-19, but are much higher than the normal death rate of a particular country.
As of Dec. 31, 2021, excess deaths were estimated at 18.2 million. As of that same day, the study says, the world's official Covid death toll stood at 5.94 million.
The US is reporting more that 1 million excess deaths, beyond the Covid-19 death toll, of close to one million.
Avoiding Covid-19 infection remains, now and during the coming spike, essential to long term health and survival. Protect yourself more that ever before. The new variants that are spreading in the US are up to 30 times more infectious that Omicron. As I read the studies, the next attack will come suddenly. One newsletter I read, puts it this way:
As strange or weird as it may sound, the incidences of seemingly healthy individuals dying in their sleep which were later attributed to sudden heart failures are actually rising and are not some urban myths.
Already certain preliminary data emerging from South Africa, Germany, Denmark and even the United Kingdom with regards to excess death rates weeks after the start of the Omicron surges is indicating a worrisome trend.
We were told that the Omicron variants were mild and that vaccinations prevented disease severity and decreased the risk of mortality but there needs to be an urgent investigation into the excess deaths since Omicron debuted in November 2021 and researchers need to study and see what is truly happening.
We are definitely missing something major here and we also need to focus on the pathogenesis modes of these new variants and also to further study how it affects the immune system and other cellular pathways and also about viral persistence.
If proven to be true and a strong correlation link between the Omicron variants surges and excess deaths is established, then we are all doomed as the coming BA.2 waves and also the emerging BA.2 sub-variants are going to be affecting many more as already it has been established that the BA.2 variant is 30 percent more transmissible than the original Omicron variant and worse, the emerging BA.2 variant and emerging BA.2 subvariants, due to enhanced conformational structural foldings, are even more adapt at withstanding environmental conditions and remain infectious for even longer periods of time.
The current trend of judging the new variants as to whether they are mild or not based on the conditions they immediately give rise to in infected individuals is wrong as perhaps the new variants are much evolved at literally ‘switching off’ the human host immune responses and defenses hence we do not see serious symptoms or hospitalizations initially until it causes sufficient damage weeks or months later.
With studies showing that Omicron breakthrough infections weaknes the immune system and with more data showing that reinfections and infections are going to be the new norm, we are really in for a dangerous ride.
Whatever the situation may be, researchers need to urgently study and address these current observations and get their papers published so that the public may know what is really going on.

I read that this virus was vascular, not respiratory. So long ago, no way I would know where to search now.
Now, organs?
Dammit, I can't keep up.

Ah, unaware of the "credentials" of a CEO,
because clearly self-serving sob. Since comment addressed person disagreeing with said CEO, that connection didn't occur to me. Did he ever practice?
