Third shot may be needed to combat new coronavirus variants, Bill Gates says

A third dose of coronavirus vaccine may be needed to prevent serious cases of new variants of the disease, Bill Gates said Tuesday. The billionaire philanthropist's comments come amid to the growing concern that current vaccines are less effective against the South African and Brazilian variants.

"The discussion now is do we just need to get a super high coverage of the current vaccine, or do we need a third dose that's just the same, or do we need a modified vaccine?" Gates told "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell.

"All five of the companies that have U.S. vaccines are looking at making that modification and adding that in so that people who've already had two shots might need to get a third shot," he said. "I think it's reasonably likely that we will have a tuned vaccine just to make absolutely sure that as these variants hit the U.S. that they're not escaping from vaccine protection."

The Never Ending Story continues... this is what you get when people who have been wrong from the get go just refuse to admit it.

What Gates will do after he realizes he should not have run his mouth, is stealthily fold a COVID tertiary booster into the annual flu shot, which is de facto admission that IT'S THE FLU.

Bill Gates needs to STFU. People have had just about enough.

“Extremely effective” real means... moving the goalposts to whatever keeps them controlling the narrative. Three card monty.

Gates can’t even keep viruses out of his software. I’ll be damned before I’d take a shot of that stuff.

Bill Gates can and should die in a fire (DIAF)

It beggars the imagination that there are such evil people in the world.

People like him need to stop stop stop trying to “help”

If he wants to help people he should fully fund food banks across the entire country. That would actually help people who have serious problems. You can say they need to get jobs and buy their own food, and you are right, but you need to be fed before you can even go look for a job. Its a catch 22, so help the food banks and stop this nonsense with the scamdemic.

Somebody pie his face again and shut this geek up already. 40 years and Microsoft is still a crap operating system and full of viruses. He knows nothing about stopping viruses.

Wish I could go back to the 1970s and write a scare novel on how the entire world would get shutdown in the 21st Century due to a virus that has a 99.98% survival rate. And how people would happily give up their rights and line up for hours to receive vaccines for such.

Then again, nobody would have published a book like that, as it would stretch all credulity. My editor would have told me to make it where at least 40% of the people died, in order to make it more believable.
