“Biden Places $3.2B Order With Pfizer”

Safe effective and free. I point out to the libs if Pfizer is profiting then I guess it is not free. Proof that they can’t refute that 1/3 of the phrase is a lie.

I wonder how many will even want these shots, will they try and force this one on the population too? My guess is less people are going to tolerate that again.

I had read months ago not even 50% took the Booster, so i think the pool of participants is drying up.

I saw a quick excerpt the other day of people lined up in their cars getting assembly line jabbed during the hysteria and it had a bad sci-fi movie look to it…those were the days

(From the article) :" Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the agency ultimately responsible for public health advice,
has admitted — without much attention from the mainstream media — that Covid infection was “worsening over time” among the vaccinated.(Emphasis mine)
Instead of ditching the unstudied gene therapeutics that were already making people more susceptible to the disease,
the government introduced additional doses of that therapy, “boosters,” which were gradually recommended to all Americans, including those as young as five."

Not just CoupFlu vaxxes.

After the papers I’ve read over the last two years, and after the issue I had that may have been due to a recent vaxx (not a CoupFlu shot), I’m not sure I ever want to get another vaxx. For anything.

Meanwhile, get a load of the excuses for why more pediatricians, my bet is the vast majority, aren't offering CoupFlu vaxxes for kids...

Why doctors aren't clamoring to vaccinate your toddler Parents search for elusive two-dose Moderna series before preschool begins

Note the weasel wordage.

Note no mention that CoupFlu vaccinators have to pre-registered with Fedzilla.

Note zero mention of the liability protections afforded Big Med and Big Pharma through the PREP Act.

Note no discussion of whether or not leaving primary care providers out of the loop was done, in part, as an end run around VAERS reporting.

“Biden Places $3.2B Order With Pfizer”


I was curious as to how many doses this is, and, saw this…

Following the vote, the Biden administration promptly struck a $3.2 billion deal with Pfizer to acquire 105 million doses of an updated shot pending FDA signoff on the new formula — “with options for up to 300 million doses.”

~~~~~

Over 400 million doses (including options).

What/why on Earth so many doses of something unproven, and unnecessary??

We know …. money and population control.

And, the sheep will blindly line up. :-(

The entire article is well worth the read....here’s the rest of the article ... exposes this so called panel ...

....The panel has not yet decided if the modified boosters should target the omicron variant and its most current sublineages, BA.4 and BA.5, or both omicron and the older ancestral strains of the virus (which account for 0 percent of the circulating variants, per CDC data presented during the hearing).

Remarkably, two distinguished members of the VRBPAC voted against the authorization: Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and professor of pediatrics in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Dr. Hank Bernstein, professor of pediatrics at the Zucker School of Medicine.

Offit began by saying that there are currently no Covid strains in circulation that would escape vaccine protection against the “serious illness.” There’s no surprise here, yet it is not clear if the vaccines are to thank. The omicron strain has been far milder than delta, which, in turn, was milder than previous strains, which still posed virtually no threat to people younger than 80 and with no multiple comorbidities.

Questioning the efficacy of the extra dose, Offit noted that the increase in the neutralizing antibodies provided by the omicron-specific booster shot was estimated to be 1.7 percent. While that may seem “statistically significant,” it is not clear if it is “clinically significant,” he said. Quoting a study from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, Offit noted that the protection offered by the extra dose in people vaccinated with two or three doses of the “prototypical,” i.e., original, vaccine, and then boosted with a “prototypical” booster, was “meaningless.”

“I think as a new product it should be handled as a new product,” Offit said. “I think we need a higher standard than what we’ve been given. I’m not comfortable enough to support the risk of a new product.”

In an op-ed published in STAT News on Wednesday, Offit explained in greater detail why the omicron and earlier variant boosters “are little or no better than a standard booster”:

The immune system responds to the first sight of the viral spike protein by making neutralizing antibodies and by starting to lay down memory cells that are an archive of what it is seeing. Those memory cells improve over a multi-month period and are then triggered into action when the immune system reencounters the spike protein, either as an infection or in a booster vaccination. The resulting neutralizing antibody response doesn’t appear to depend very much on whether the boost was with the original sequence, the Beta sequence, the Delta sequence, or the Omicron sequence — all are about equally as good at reawakening immune memory cells.

Meaning, it doesn’t matter which strain a person encounters either naturally or via vaccine — Offit believes that the immune response will be “about equally as good.”

That certainly sounds a bit confusing, since if the vaccines granted reliable protection against the virus, people would not experience breakthrough infections. Yet they do, and they get sick with Covid multiple times, with Covid becoming chronic in some cases. Pfizer knew that would be the case, and so did the FDA. Dr. Offit certainly must have known that as well.

Dr. Bernstein echoed Dr. Offit’s concerns over the lack of efficacy data.

“I think including an Omicron strain in the vaccine seems to have some potential, but data, especially for BA.4 and BA.5, are limited at this time, and that’s why I’m struggling to even make a strain change at this time,” he cautiously noted.

Bernstein also repeated the claim that current vaccines are already protective enough against severe Covid outcomes.

Neither of the high-profile experts mentioned safety concerns over the additional doses of the shots that are already associated with the stunning number of adverse reactions. In his op-ed, Offit said that “everyone who needs a vaccine dose [needs to get] one, particularly never-vaccinated people who have been fooled by distortions about vaccine safety,” linking to an article in The Atlantic, “The Anti-vaccine Right Brought Human Sacrifice to America.”

Those pressing issues, however, were addressed during the public comment section of the hearing. The speakers — non-establishment doctors and scientists — pointed to the avalanche of evidence suggesting the shots pose a grave danger to public health.

Dr. Eric Feintuch of the Inalienable Rights Alliance, who was one of the speakers, told The New American that the decision was “unethical” and “defying science.”

“Each and every one of the VRBPAC members voting ‘yes’ needs to read over 1200 peer reviewed articles that cover all aspects of safety [of the vaccines],” said Dr. Feintuch. He pointed to the over 1.3 million adverse events in the drastically underreported VAERS, which the CDC is not even analyzing.

Such behavior on the part of the government is viewed as criminal by the doctor:

A special session of Congress needs to be organized to investigate the FDA and its role in not only ignoring the safety signals, but not analyzing the data for accuracy and safety and taking the word of these pharmaceutical companies without double checking their analysis.

Based on the analysis of the official FDA documents, the Inalienable Rights Alliance found a whopping 23 instances of the FDA failing to do its duty to verify the safety and efficacy data related to Covid shots.

If the FDA follows the panel’s recommendation, which it usually does, vaccine makers will need to roll out modified boosters of their shots, which they have been working on since November 2021.

Following the vote, the Biden administration promptly struck a $3.2 billion deal with Pfizer to acquire 105 million doses of an updated shot pending FDA signoff on the new formula — “with options for up to 300 million doses.”

No, Covid is not worsening over time amongst the vaxxed, as if Covid can identify vaxxed individuals and attack them more severely.

Vaxxed individuals immune systems are failing them over time as a result of the vax.

And yet, they try to paint it as if it’s the fault of the disease, not their vax.

For the Big Guy, 10% = $320 million. That’s not a bad day’s work!

They must be planning on holding scores of millions of people down and forcing this deadly shot into them at gunpoint. Otherwise, this makes no sense - except for pure criminal graft which may well be the case.

metmom :" I’m so surprised. "

I believe that this represents the merger of the National government agencies (specifically NIH/FDA/CDC) with Big Pharma (specifically Pfizer, Moderna, etc.).
The existence of interlocking directorates, where employees switch between Pharma and Government, and vice-versa, symbolizes the fact that Pharma "owns" these agencies.
I am reasonably sure that much of the funds for additional purchases of vaccine and "boosters"
will come back to the 'Donks' in the form of "Dark money" for re-election purposes.

Over 400 million doses....that’s more doses than there are citizens.

...The current population of the United States of America is 334,861,117 as of Thursday, June 30, 2022....

Something is extremely wrong.
