Now that the Pfizer and Astrozenica vaccines have been shown to be only around 60% effective, down from the originally touted (and extremely misleading) 95%, both companies are working on a booster to add a third shot.
Never mind that the latest stats from the UK government show that the second shot TRIPLES your chances of dying from COVID.
Vaccination status | Cases | Deaths | Fatality rate |
---|---|---|---|
Received 1st dose only (>21 days prior) | 3,865 | 17 | 0.44% |
Received 2nd dose | 3,546 | 50 | 1.41% |
The obvious thing to do would be to simply cut the second shot and keep the efficacy at around 88% rather than use two shots and kill more people. But heck, where’s the profit motive?
Pfizer is already in trials for the booster shot. Given how Pfizer redefines efficacy to suit the expected outcome, these trials will probably be spectacularly successful and it will have to roll out the third dose.
Right now, there isn’t much need as the company has plenty of customers buying it’s vaccine just for the first two shots. And by need, I mean the company needs to sell its vaccine to meet its profit targets this year.
Already Pfizer has been getting CNN et all to prep the public for the coming booster shot to make sure everyone has the highest possible level of efficacy (which will definitely NOT be determined by survival rates). Right now Pfizer is focused on the antibody response and is applying to the FDA for the first round of approvals this month and the clinical study from August.
Similarly, Moderna has been promising to have a booster shot ready by October.
Right now the US FDA and CDC maintain that a booster shot isn’t needed, but that “We are prepared for booster doses if and when the science demonstrates that they are needed.”
The facts will of course never demonstrate that they are needed, but the science will, because we all know who controls the science.
Just as the mountain of evidence that this is a benign virus has been ignored, buried, fack checked, debunked, and deplatformed, the evidence that boosters and third doses are counter productive will somehow disappear.
Any why not? While I can accuse world leaders of totally ignoring the evidence that vaccines are detrimental to one’s health, maybe they are paying attention to the evidence that suggesting COVID-19 is a benign virus is even more detrimental to one’s health.
