Pfizer chairman: We're not sure if someone can transmit virus after vaccination

Pfizer chairman Albert Bourla told Dateline host Lester Holt that the pharmaceutical company was “not certain” if the vaccine prevented the coronavirus from being transmitted, saying, “This is something that needs to be examined.”

In a prime-time special titled “Race for a Vaccine” set to air Thursday, Holt questioned Bourla and other individuals involved in the development and distribution of the medicine.

In November, Pfizer announced that its vaccine candidate had been shown to be more than 90 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 and has applied for emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

...

In a list of interview highlights released before the special, Holt asked Bourla, “Even though I’ve had the protection, am I still able to transmit it to other people?”

“I think this is something that needs to be examined. We are not certain about that right now with what we know,” Bourla responded.

Though Pfizer’s vaccine has shown promising results, challenges have surfaced when it comes to distributing and administering it. The vaccine must be delivered and stored in extreme sub-zero temperatures, which has heightened the demand for dry ice.

Once the vaccine is kept at normal refrigeration temperatures, it must be used within four or five days or be discarded. The vaccine is administered in two doses spaced a few weeks apart.

The reason they aren’t sure is because the vaccine has only been studied on humans for several months. Not enough time has elapsed for mid or long term safety or efficacy data.

I’m not the smartest person in the room but if a person has a 10% chance of getting the virus after a vaccine, it stands to reason that there is a chance he could tranmit it

He’s right, it does need to be examined. Nothing 1,000 days of masking can’t deal with.

“The reason they aren’t sure is because the vaccine has only been studied on humans for several months. Not enough time has elapsed for mid or long term safety or efficacy data”

Yep, that was my first thought. If they made the claim that it prevented transmission, and it didn’t, they’d quickly be out Billions and likely out of business.

...the question and response is MEANINGLESS at this point, except to ‘some people here’, I guess.

Doubt any, I think it's a government installation. However the Obama administration funded it to some extent through NIH grants to the EcoHealth Alliance, doing research on bats. "Fact checkers" classify this as false since the virus came from the wet market not the lab. The Obama administration didn't fund the market.

Well, how many times have we been told to wash our hands like a mad man, use sanitizer, and disinfect surfaces because covid lives on surfaces for days and days? So, unless we were LIED TO about that, then yes, a vaccinated person can get it on his or her hands or clothing and bring it into the house and deposit it on every surface he or she touches. I would imagine the same thing can be said about flu virus. I KNOW many stomach bugs can do this because I caught a bad one a few years ago after drinking from a water fountain in an office where I worked.

I don’t think anyone knows whether a recovered positive case can transmit it.

“We’re not sure if someone can transmit virus after vaccination” Isn’t that the purpose of a vaccination, so you don’t get the sickness, therefor you cannot give it?

this is no joke.

there was DES, radium in paint, thallidomide.

It takes 20 years to know if a material is carcinogenic
and this is first generation nanomaterial which enters
human DNA and matched placenta AND causes massive immunodiseases
and can bounce to other humans, too. WTF!

Must CHINA-GATES-WHO KNOWINGLY kill us all?

Of course the 10% would still be able to pass the virus if the vaccine didn't work for them. Naturally.

The Pfizer chief was referring to the ~90%. They just don't know because they haven't had enough time to study the effects. It's a lack of data due to a lack of time.

“pharmaceutical company was “not certain” if the vaccine prevented the coronavirus from being transmitted, saying, “This is something that needs to be examined.””

Ok, are they stating if you the vaccine you can still catch the virus and pass the virus to other people. The Vaccine only prevents you from getting sick.

Could this Vaccine be like the Vaccine in the movie Day Breakers where we would be required to have the vaccine for life or die once you take the vaccine?

the amount pFizer owns is >0%, so you’ve done
no homework.

“research on bats?” these were war crime viruses
DESIGNED with pangolin and placenta spike matches.

Fact checkers? which MSM site do you shill for?

Perhaps this vaccine by Pfizer should be for Antifa and BLM members only?

Flatten the curve!

“It’s not a vaccine then”

No vaccine is 100% effective, This vaccine at about 95% is extremely effective compared to most. I think the Salk vaccine which broke the back of Polio was only 70% effective

The 5% that still can “catch” Covid are reported to have little to no symptoms. That 5% with a lower immunity would still probably be contagious, that’s what they are investigating....
