Pfizer CEO says COVID-19 vaccine-resistant variant likely to emerge
FoxNews.com ^

Posted on 08/24/2021 3:08:56 PM PDT by matt04

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday said the company believes a COVID-19 vaccine-resistant variant will likely one day emerge, though the company has a system in place to turn around a variant-specific jab within some three months.

"Every time that the variant appears in the world, our scientists are getting their hands around it," Bourla told Fox News’ "America’s Newsroom." "They are researching to see if this variant can escape the protection of our vaccine. We haven’t identified any yet but we believe that it is likely that one day, one of them will emerge."

Bourla noted a company process to develop a variant-specific vaccine within 95 days from identifying the variant of concern. Infectious disease experts and public health officials have reiterated for months that broadening the reach of the existing vaccines across the population, in the U.S. and abroad, will reduce the opportunity for the virus to further mutate.

CDC data indicates 62.5% of U.S. adults are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with 73.1% receiving at least one dose. While federal health officials look to rollout COVID-19 booster shots among most Americans come September, pending FDA review, the head of the World Health Organization on Monday called for a two-month moratorium on administering booster shots of COVID-19 vaccines as a means of reducing global vaccine inequality and preventing the emergence of new coronavirus variants.

It’s all about control, NWO and the emerging Tribulation with the anti-Christ and False Prophet. Worth the listen. . .only an hour plus a guaranteed blessing noted in the first chapter by God. https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/niv/Rev.1

Following FDA approval, this is just a trillion-dollar "yes, but" statement: "Yes, our vaccine is officially approved, but _________ (fill in the blank):

-- It probably won't work for too long (virus "variants", y'know)

-- It likely won't work for everyone (everyone's unique, y'know, except when it comes to one-size-fits-all vaccine mandates ... oh, and remember that we lost our control group so we can't possibly know its effectiveness ... not really)

-- It may have long-term side effects we can't possibly know anything about

Add your own "yes, but" qualification.

People without medical degrees proved to be more knowlegable than most doctors about virology.

“Doctors have been warning about this since day one and they have been ostracized and called kooks and anti-vaxxers.

It’s called vaccine escape and been known for years.“

Yep, the number one reason you do not vaccinate into the teeth of a pandemic, especially one for a notorious mutator such as coronaviruses.

Yep. They said get the two jabs and you stop the Coof in it’s tracks. Not it’s wear your mask and get the booster and be ready for the new jab because the old one doesn’t work and then the boosters for the new one, etc.

“If we had allowed people to obtain natural heed immunity this would be in the rear view mirror.“

This ^^^^^ 100 times this ^^^^^^^. And we did the exact opposite, we prolonged the duration of the virus (read flatten the curve) as well as vaccinated during it helping drive mutation. So very very foolish.

No shit. Coronaviruses and the flu mutate and circle the globe forever.

P.S. It’s not a vaccine.

I think people are missing the import of this... they are saying a variant will arise that there will be no possibility of a vaccine for... so that’s not a dollar signs in their eyes statement.. unless they plan on starting to work on therapeutics.

Trump was wise to go with the two-pronged vaccine and therapeutics approach and was savaged for every therapeutic he proposed.. there probably was a profit motive for the exclusive focus on vaccines... if Bouria is right about this, we are going to have to switch to an emphasis to therapeutics..

‘’The vaccines have already created vaccine-resistant variants.’’

For those who consider them creditable, the WHO has said as much this week.

NO SH!T, SHERLOCK.

I believe I went on about this from early on. Because one can still catch and transmit the virus to others after getting the shot(s), the virus will mutate to become resistant to further injections. It’s “leaky”, which is grounds enough for it to be pulled from the market, but it won’t be.

Bad, bad news. An article in The Lancet discussed how healthcare workers are super spreaders for that reason. They’re actually dangerous to patients who are susceptible to severe infection or death.

I’m pretty sure I had the ‘VID over the weekend. Fever (I don’t usually get them. I’m immune suppressed), puking, short of breath, O2 on the low end of normal, myalgia, swollen lymph nodes everywhere, abdominal cramping... I would really like to have natural immunity, because I didn’t receive any antibodies from the shot I had (surprise, surprise).

I think the only reason I didn’t get pneumonia is because I’m on Vancomycin for something else.
