Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel painted a long road ahead in the war against the pandemic and just gave a stark assessment of the pandemic, stating there is good reason to expect a need for ongoing booster shots to protect against mutations that could propagate other variants of SARS-Cov-2, the virus behind the global COVID-19 outbreak.
According to Bancel: “I believe SARS-Cov-2 is going to stay with humans forever,” in an interview with Yahoo Finance Live. “We’re going to have to have boosts adapted to a virus-like we have for flu. It’s the same thing, they are both mRNA viruses, and we’re going to have to live with it forever.”
This comes as the company also announced it was also beginning a test of an additional booster dose of its vaccine, in what they are saying is out of an abundance of caution to potentially strengthen the immune response against emerging strains. Bancel noted that while the original two-dose vaccine did, in fact,
preserve a protective response against the South African strain, with neutralizing antibodies diminished six-fold relative to prior variants. “The big question with the boost is going to be the dose,” he said.
“Do you need 25 or 50 or 100 micrograms? The current product that is authorized by the FDA is 100 micrograms, twice: A prime and a boost.” “If a dose was 50 or 25 micrograms, which is possible because your immune system is already prepared, you might not need to have a big increase of capacity,” he said.
This also follows President Biden drawing backlash for providing a pessimistic view of his administration’s ability to combat the coronavirus pandemic in the near future after he recently indicated that the trajectory of the pandemic can’t be changed in the coming months, no matter what Americans do. “If we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming months as this pandemic rages on because there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months,” Biden said.
“It’s a cash cow and we’re not letting go.”
I’m not surprised. And that provides justification for masking, and distancing, and control.
Americans will love it.
“Moderna CEO says Virus to stay with the world ‘FOREVER’ “
Says the company who sells the remedy to it. Just essential marketing.
Just like the 100 trillion other viruses that currently inhabit the human body.
So?
I thought for sure it went away the day after the election.
Didn’t take long, I stated perpetual boosters full of MRNA awhile back. Think hard what that means and implies. For those injecting the concoction now, please continue to do so....Mexico just also announced they are NOT authorizing Moderna and Phitzers experimental vaccines on their sheeple and are pursuing other means.
Just an observation...in the movie “Time Bandits” the brand name of the appliances was “Moderna.” The classic quote from the movie was, “Don’t touch it! It’s evil!.”
Right.
So the guy making billions from something announces he is in favor of it continuing. Smart, real smart.
Moooo!
Funny. Now that Covid is here to stay, all other flu-bugs have magically disappeared! People don’t even get the common cold anymore!
*SNORT*
Yeah, so what? The Black Plague is still with us, but I don’t see people going around cities, towns and villages yelling, “Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!”
We’ve lived with diseases, some FAR more lethal and nearly as communicable than the CCP virus, and managed to keep living life. Don’t listen to this idiot, or anyone else spouting the same line.
Looks like I need to buy a lifetime supply of diet tonic water, quercetin, zinc, vit d, vit c.
We’ve had variations of the flu forever too. If you look at honest covid death numbers, some of those flu outbreaks were worse, and the world as we know it did not end.
It’s a corona virus. It should mutate to the point of a gutter rat can’t even get infected. But maybe he possibly knows more than I do about it? Or has better sources?
Like a bad rash or a leftist government.
They can change up and use Covid as the new boogie monster since using Russia gets old.

And ivermectin.
Nice business model for Moderna.
Good thing that President Biden “has a plan” and so forth. What a joke.
It’s a cold. Of course it’ll be here forever. Most people don’t die of common colds, either. However, nobody ever before figured out how to use the common cold as a social-control device, and nobody made this sort of money out of the common cold.
