Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Monday said a vaccine that targets the omicron variant of Covid will be ready in March, and the company’s already begun manufacturing the doses.

“This vaccine will be ready in March,” Bourla told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “We [are] already starting manufacturing some of these quantities at risk.”

Bourla said the vaccine will also target the other variants that are circulating. He said it is still not clear whether or not an omicron vaccine is needed or how it would be used

Cha ching! $$$$$

Won’t Omnicron be gone by March?

[nickcarraway]

LOL. By then it will be too late. The whole wave should have past. Do we need an endemic vaccine?

[Sacajaweau]

Omicron seems to be the vaccine we need. Any man made vaccine would just be bottling it.

[JoanSmith]

By then it will be unnecessary. Too bad they’ll want to recoup costs for R&D and our corrupt govt will happily oblige.

Well by then it will be over and there is no need for omicron specific. It’s the gate to herd immunity.

The 27th shot should fix everything

Boosters, forever!

This is why I didn’t take flu shots - because they were always chasing last year’s flu virus.

I’m sure they say that. Especially when it doesn’t have to work and can harm everyone with no liability.

Or you can take 2 aspirin. Either way.

It’s amazing how the development of the vaccines is faster than the release of the data! CDC director just said a few days ago their still gathering data from the Omicron, and that they still don’t know whether it is more dangerous than the Delta.
