Pfizer, Moderna Seen Reaping Billions From COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Market

Pfizer, along with its German partner BioNTech, and Moderna have together locked up over $60 billion in sales of the shots just in 2021 and 2022. The agreements include supply of the initial two doses of their vaccines as well as billions of dollars in potential boosters for wealthy nations.

Going forward, analysts have forecast revenue of over $6.6 billion for the Pfizer/BioNTech shot and $7.6 billion for Moderna in 2023, mostly from booster sales. They eventually see the annual market settling at around $5 billion or higher, with additional drugmakers competing for those sales.

Some early data suggests that the Moderna vaccine, which delivers a higher dose at the outset, may be more durable than Pfizer’s shot, but more research is needed to determine whether that is influenced by the age or underlying health of the people vaccinated.

As a result, it is far from clear how many people will need boosters, and how often... some scientists question whether there is enough evidence that boosters are needed, particularly for younger, healthy people. The World Health Organization has asked governments to hold off on booster shots until more people worldwide receive their initial doses.

"We don't know what the market forces will be," Moderna President Stephen Hoge said in an interview last week. "At some point, this will become a more traditional market - we'll look at what are the populations at risk, what value are we creating, and what are the number of products that serve that value. That will ultimately impact price."

Pfizer declined to comment for the story. During the company's second-quarter earnings call, executives said they believe a third dose will be necessary 6 to 8 months after vaccination, and regularly afterward.

Does anybody have an idea how much Big Pharma is getting from our tax dollars for each jab of the untested mandated experimental vax?

Yes in addition to the Socialistic mandates accompanying these shots...Something to take note of is how devastating opioid drug use has been on our population at large.

It’s not good to be too injection happy....Vaccines should be ONE part of a WHOLE arsenal for the good of our OVERALL health.

From Insider Trades: https://www.insidertrades.com/moderna-inc-stock/stephen-hoge-1/

The estimated net worth of Stephen Hoge is at least $637.06 million as of July 23rd, 2021. Dr. Hoge owns 1,614,597 shares of Moderna stock worth more than $637,055,392 as of August 17th. This net worth approximation does not reflect any other assets that Dr. Hoge may own.

With each booster shot (second, third, fourth...?) Hoge's net worth should increase by, what, at least another $100 million?

This is precisely why a booster is a hard “no” from me. It’s as bad as the military-industrial complex.

Totally agree that the first and strongest pillar of good health is good diet and exercise. Lean meats, veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruits, and avoiding processed foods as much as possible. 60 minutes a day, at least 3 or 4 days a week of exercise to include both cardio and resistance training.

Do that and 90% of the health problems we see today disappear. I consider doctors and modern medical miracles necessary to deal with the other 10% that persist.

Is that why we now are going to need a third dose?
