The effectiveness of Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot can drop to 83.7% within four to six months after getting the second dose of its vaccine. This is the latest indication that vaccine-induced immunity to the virus can wane and some kind of boost may be necessary in the future.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.
OOooooo, more money for me...for us...whee all the time wringing their hands in sympathy. Phony sympathy.

And when you are safe from that...THERE’LL BE ANOTHER...AND ANOTHER....
So, do not get your hopes up that this will end.

Like a B Horror movie of the thirties.

I thought it bolstered the case for not taking it at all.

When did Israel drop Pfizer? They had a cooperative arrangement with the Israeli MOH according to this article:

We’ve been told for years to not experiment with drugs, and not our own government is trying to force us to experiment with drugs.

I guess some just like the attention and fitting in with the herd.

I think you meant "flock," not "herd." I believe that sheep congregate in flocks.

Immunity will keep building up BY EXPOSING one to the virus, NOT by locking up in basement.

I worry much more about the stock market dropping because I have no immunity against it. Covid immunity is holding up fine.

No. Herd is the term for ungulates - which more and more people are beginning to resemble. - Sheep are ungulates. Flock is a literary convention interchangeable with herd, either is correct.

Get ready for the mandatory booster shot punch card to indicate compliance and that you are up to date. The card will be yellow and must be worn on your shirt at all times for inspection.

“Israel has among the highest coronavirus vaccination rates in the world, thanks to its early procurement of large quantities of Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19, but on Wednesday, the Health Ministry announced that the country’s four HMOs would be provided with vaccine produced by Massachusetts-based Moderna and that inoculations with the Moderna vaccine would begin on August 1.

The Pfizer vaccine will now only be administered to patients between the age of 12 and 18 and for second doses of the vaccine. Unlike the two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which are administered 21 days apart, the Moderna vaccine is given 28 days apart.”

How convienient for Pfizer! Would they be asserting this opinion if they were required to refund all those who purchased their ineffective first two doses?

Can we expect Moderna to make a similar announcement?

Can anyone say, "buy Pfizer & Moderna stock now."

It is, but a further question then would be how much does it drop per week? Or month?

Israel also dropped Pfizer going forward and will only use Moderna.

Probably because they made an exclusive financial deal with Moderna and nothing to do with the efficacy of Pfizer.   As the man said, "follow the money."

Well, I will defer to you as an insider.

But, incompetence is a factor in any going concern.   I believe that The Peter Principle is a real thing so it shouldn't be a factor of comparison in my opinion because that will affect all.

I've seen articles about Moderna quality control issues too.
