With more than 40 million Americans having received at least the first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, a third dose may be needed to prevent the spread of new variants of the disease, Bill Gates told CBS News Tuesday.
Gates’ comments come amid growing concern that the current vaccines are not effective against the more contagious Brazilian and South African variants.
Pfizer and Moderna have stated that their vaccines are 95% and 99% effective, respectively, against the initial strain of COVID. However, some scientists have questioned those statements. Additionally, the World Health Organization and vaccine companies have conceded that the vaccines do not prevent people from being infected with COVID or from transmitting it, but are only effective at reducing symptoms.
Gates told CBS Evening News:
“The discussion now is do we just need to get a super high coverage of the current vaccine, or do we need a third dose that’s just the same, or do we need a modified vaccine?”
U.S. vaccine companies are looking at making modifications, which Gates refers to as “tuning.”
People who have had two shots may need to get a third shot and people who have not yet been vaccinated would need the modified vaccine, explained Gates. When asked whether the coronavirus vaccine would be similar to the flu vaccine, which requires yearly boosters, Gates couldn’t rule that out. Until the virus is eradicated from all humans, Gates said, additional shots may be needed in the future.
“AstraZeneca in particular has a challenge with the variant,” Gates explained. “And the other two, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax, are slightly less effective, but still effective enough that we absolutely should get them out as fast as we can while we study this idea of tuning the vaccine.”
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding the studies being conducted in Brazil and South Africa, CBS News said. The foundation has also invested in the AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson and the Novavax vaccines, which are being tested against new variants. Once the AstraZeneca vaccine is approved, the Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiative or GAVI, founded by Gates, will distribute it globally.
“Gates continues to move the goalposts,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman and chief legal counsel of Children’s Health Defense. “Meanwhile the strategies he and others have promoted are obliterating the global economy, demolishing the middle class, making the rich richer and censoring vaccine safety advocates, like me.”
Kennedy said that the exclusive focus on vaccines has prevented the kind of progress required to actually address and recover from the pandemic:
“From the pandemic’s outset, clear-headed people familiar with the challenges inherent in the vaccine model have understood that the path out of crisis would require multiple steps. Those steps would need to include the development and/or identification of therapeutic drugs, the sharing of information among doctors to hone improved treatment models that reduce infection mortality rates below those for flu, and the kind of broad-spectrum long-term herd immunity that protects against mutant strains and that only derives from natural infection.”
Instead, Gates and vaccine makers are proposing a lifetime of boosters, supporting insufficient testing to determine safety and failing to address the inadequate monitoring of vaccine injuries, Kennedy said.
Bill Gates has morphed into a vaccine expert. Jasper st ask him
Or “connected”. His parents weren’t exactly working class stiffs.
In all seriousness, the reason I ask is I have read studies suggesting that syfilis causes vaccine people like you to voluntarily submit to anal swabs while shouting...”vaccines save lives!”...”vaccines save lives!”
Gates, Fauci, and John Kerry. Is there anything they don’t know?
Better run this by DR. Jill Biden. Bill Gates isn’t a doctor you know.
Anyone wish to guess what I would use to give Gates HIS 3rd shot????
Gates’ quantum dot tattooing must not be quite right yet...

Satan’s minions have been working very hard on this.
Bill Gates may have money to fund something, but that doesn’t make him an expert in the field.
It’s really ridiculous that people will listen to someone simply because they’re a billionaire. Otherwise what he would have to say on this topic is irrelevant.
I would imagine it is possible annual vaccines will be necessary like with the flu...but we don’t know that yet...and if we do, the fact that Bill Gates said it doesn’t make it so.
Exactly my question. Who in the world does this pinhead think he is?
Since leaving Microsoft it seems Bill Gates is an expert in everything.
3 shots?
Smells like bull s**t to me.
Like to give hive him three shots to his face with the butt of my AR-15 (if I Had ONE)!! heh heh!
Anyways, I sure hope I'm right but maybe I'm wrong and this is how Bill Gates is going to wipe out 1/3 of mankind.
I have 20 years left. Maybe. If this turns into the conspiracy that has been described, I'll personally sacrifice my remaining years to exact revenge.
Wonder how many gullible FReepers will just continue to get these shots?
No matter how many they keep piling on.
LOL!
I don't think they listen to him just because he's a billionaire. The people who "listen" to Bill Gates do so because he his a billionaire who says the "right" things. If Scott Atlas's words came out of Bill Gates's mouth, Gates would immediately be shunted to the fringe.
India has had great success with both Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. With its population of roughly three times that of the U.S., its covid mortality has been about half that of the U.S. - in real numbers, not ratios.
India’s population is roughly 4 times that of the US. At current rates of population growth, India is on track to surpass China as the world’s most populous nation in a few years.
Well, true...he has to both be a billionaire and a billionaire that says what is in line with a certain narrative.
RE: Ka-ching......
Gates can’t be motivated by money. How much more does he need?
