'The virus is not going away': Moderna, Pfizer warn of need for booster shots

WASHINGTON (SBG) — The United States is in the midst of a massive vaccination drive, administering more than 250 million shots in less than five months, but vaccine manufacturers are warning this could be just the beginning of a long battle against COVID-19 and its variants that requires a similar effort to distribute booster shots every year.

“We believe booster shots will be needed, as we believe the virus is not going away,” Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said on a first-quarter earnings call with investors Thursday.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla made a similar prediction last month that a booster shot would “likely” be necessary within 12 months. Other experts say a supplemental shot might not be required so soon, but much is still unknown about the protection conferred by vaccines developed in record time last year.

“Based on what we’ve seen, we believe that a durable demand for our COVID-19 vaccine, similar to that of the flu vaccines, is a likely outcome,” Bourla said on an earnings call Tuesday.

If flu shots are so great, why do you need to get them every year?

Don’t care. I’ve never been tested for COVID and I ain’t getting a vaccination. This is all a scam.

Since cruising is restricted beyond any reasonable measure, and the passengers and crews are required to be vaccinated, does this mean the vaccinations do not work after all?

The vaccines either work for the majority or they do not.

The government and pharma want it both ways: control everything and boosters, but no return to normal.

Of course the virus isn't "going away". Duh.
Cold and flu viruses have been around for thousands of years and have infected humans all through history. But lots of money is to be made, so bring on the booster shots ad infinitum. And keep the fear going indefinitely!

Not as long as there are chicoms, apparently. Thus said, there is a solution.
