Moderna hopes to have Covid booster shot for its vaccine ready by the fall, CEO says
CNBC ^ | UPDATED WED, APR 14 2021 2:22 PM EDT | Kevin Stankiewicz

Moderna hopes to have a booster shot for its two-dose Covid vaccine available in the fall, CEO Stephane Bancel told CNBC on Wednesday.

"I want to make sure there are boost vaccines available in the fall so that we protect people as we go into the next fall and winter season in the U.S.," Bancel said in an interview on "Squawk Box."

Bancel on Wednesday reiterated his belief that annual Covid vaccine boosters will be commonplace going forward, saying the coronavirus "is not going away" and it's "not leaving the planet."

"I anticipate in the next year or so, we're going to see a lot of variants. But as more and more people get vaccinated or naturally infected, the pace of the variant is going to slow down and the virus is going to stabilize like you see with flu," he said.

Eventually, Bancel added, Moderna hopes to be able to have a two-in-one vaccine of sorts that protects against seasonal flu and Covid. The company in September announced its intentions to make a flu vaccine.

"What we're trying to do at Moderna actually is to get a flu vaccine in the clinic this year and then combine our flu vaccine to our Covid vaccine so you only have to get one boost at your local CVS store ... every year that would protect you to the variant of concern against Covid and the seasonal flu strain," Bancel said.

"We believe we can get to a high efficacy flu vaccine," he added. On any given year, current flu vaccines are roughly between 40% and 60% effective, according to the CDC.

Wrong and misleading. What caused the problem is they are not practicing proper Public Health practices and the new variant is extremely contagious and it makes you much more sick. And now they are behind the 8 ball with the vaccines.

I completely disagree with you and you are misleading people. They are safe, scientifically tested and effective as long as you don’t have an allergy. You can get much more sick from Covid-19 and we need to do the spread.

ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR RESISTANCE UP & FIGHT COVID -19.

ANYONE IN REASONABLE GOOD HEALTH ADHERING TO THIS SUGGESTED REGIME SHOULD SHAKE THIS VIRUS QUICKLY AND ALONG WITH IT WILL AQUIRE NATURAL IMMUNITY.

There are other ways and means to enhance your resistance against viruses including that by now infamous covid-19 virus aside from taking any of these “Quick” developed vaccines utilizing a messenger RNA. So far science has not evolved far enough yet to be certain how the human body will react many month or years down the road once we start tinkering around with our RNA and how our bodies will react should we encounter mutated strains of similar viruses.

Below is a list of vitamins as well as nutrients suggested by a physician to enhance your resistance, they are harmless and even beneficial to your body unless someone goes crazy and over doing it. Even so they will NOT protect you from getting any specific viruses; neither will any of those new “QUICK” developed vaccines. But not only will they make you more resistant but also help you to overcome the effects of such a virus more quickly, should you have bad luck getting it. And once you are over it, your natural immune system will take over and protect you considerably better than any vaccination, this according to a statement by Merck. The CATCH is to have these vitamins/nutrients in your system BEFORE you think you have caught this virus, as time is of essence so your system starts fighting the virus BEFORE it gets a chance to do any damage.

A suggestion to the wise, take some time and read up on each of these suggested components which is freely available on the internet.

Vitamin D — Vitamin D supplements are readily available and one of the least expensive supplements on the market. All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections, and can strengthen your immune system in a matter of a few weeks.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) — NAC is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. According to one literature analysis,7 glutathione deficiency may actually be associated with COVID-19 severity, leading the author to conclude that NAC may be useful both for its prevention and treatment.

Zinc — Zinc plays a very important role in your immune system’s ability to ward off viral infections.

Like vitamin D, zinc helps regulate your immune function8 — and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine or quercetin, was in 2010 shown to inhibit SARS coronavirus in vitro. In cell culture, it also blocked viral replication within minutes.9 Importantly, zinc deficiency has been shown to impair immune function.

Melatonin — Boosts immune function in a variety of ways and helps quell inflammation. Melatonin may also prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection by recharging glutathione11 and enhancing vitamin D synthesis, among other things.

Vitamin C — A number of studies have shown vitamin C can be very helpful in the treatment of viral illnesses, sepsis and ARDS,12 all of which are applicable to COVID-19. Its basic properties include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antithrombotic and antiviral activities. At high doses, it actually acts as an antiviral drug, actively inactivating viruses. Vitamin C also works synergistically with quercetin.

Quercetin — A powerful immune booster and broad-spectrum antiviral, quercetin was initially found to provide broad-spectrum protection against SARS coronavirus in the aftermath of the 2003 SARS epidemic,14,15,16 and evidence suggests it may be useful for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 as well. Not only that but quercetin also acts as an ionophore for zinc similar to hydroxychloroquine, in a matter of speaking it will unlock the cells to let the zinc in where it can attack the virus . It is also a good pain killer and better for the human body than Aspirin, what helps to subdue arthritis pain. I is good for sinus infection, in other words if you happen to have a runny nose.

B vitamins — B vitamins can also influence several COVID-19-specific disease processes, including17 viral replication and invasion, cytokine storm induction, adaptive immunity and hypercoagulability.

SUGGESTED DOSAGE

All components as suggested are individually obtained and freely available and if used with some common sense are not harmful and if anything beneficial to your health. However it is a good idea and highly recommended to read up on each component, as there is plenty of information available on the internet. You may be surprised to find out and learn about the many benefits they provide to your health.
Here is a suggested approximate dosage for each.

Vitamin D 1500 IU

Malatonine 3mg to 6mg suggested about one hour before you go to sleep.

QUERCETIN 500 mg to 1000 mg

NAC 500 mg to 1000 mg

Zinc 50 mg

Vitamin C 1500 mg or MORE !! but always should be to two three times as much as NAC

NAC 500 mg to 1000 mg

Vitamin B complex

So far whoever has been taking this regime of supplements and may have had a brush with this virus, shook it off fairly easily and quickly and the most important thing was that in the process such a person also acquired natural immunity. Not only that but at the same time this regime also helps to ease the effects of the regular flu.

Bingo.

Amazing how the A-Z vax, J&J have been shot down and now they’re saying Pfizer doesn’t work against the new African variant. Look at which vax is still standing. Uh huh, Gates’ Moderna. Who’da thunk it.

Which came first, the vax or the virus. Gates presented his mRNA-1273 vax back in Oct. 2019 before anyone ever heard of covid. Surprise, it’s now the Moderna vax. Follow the money.

Pre measles vaccine, children simply got measles and got over it.

This is a popular myth. Measles impairs the immune system memory so many kids die of an opportunistic secondary infection plus there is measles induced encephalitis that results in death or brain damage.

I had classmates that were deaf from the measles and I worked in the crib ward of the state hospital and about half of the residents were brain damaged by measles induced encephalitis.

A vaccine that protects you from one thing can make you more vulnerable to another.

I had the measles, was hospitalized and almost died.

I had the measles, and nothing. I got over it.

I think you are confusing viral interference and vaccine enhanced susceptibility and making hash out of it.

Vaccines do not make you susceptible to other diseases, but have been known to enhance susceptibility to the target virus rather than create immunity to it. There is also the problem of “hot” batches where the virus was not killed/weakened sufficiently thereby causing the disease instead of inducing immune response.

mRNA vaccines are intended to sidestep both issues because they do not contain actual virus.

All you are doing is providing misleading and non scientific information to attempt to get people to not take vaccines. All you are doing, along with many on this discussion board, is prolonging this illness, causing more people to get sick, in some cases, causing long term health issues and unfortunately death for many who will listen and but to this nonsense.

Even president Trump knows the importance of vaccines, expedited the vaccines in safe way, took the vaccine and promotes the vaccine.

Is the ‘spike protein’ in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines dangerous?

“Comment from J. Patrick Whelan MD PhD”

Posted by the Food and Drug Administration on Dec 8, 2020

“...While there are pieces to this puzzle that have yet to be worked out, it appears that the viral spike protein that is the target of the major SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is also one of the key agents causing the damage to distant organs that may include the brain, heart, lung, and kidney. Before any of these vaccines are approved for widespread use in humans, it is important to assess in vaccinated subjects the effects of vaccination on the heart (perhaps using cardiac MRI, as Puntmann et al. did). Vaccinated patients could also be tested for distant tissue damage in deltoid area skin biopsies, as employed by Magro et al. As important as it is to quickly arrest the spread of the virus by immunizing the population, it would be vastly worse if hundreds of millions of people were to suffer long-lasting or even permanent damage to their brain or heart microvasculature as a result of failing to appreciate in the short-term an unintended effect of full-length spike protein-based vaccines on these other organs.

Particular caution will be required with regard to the potential widespread vaccination of children before there are any real data on the safety or effectiveness of these vaccines in pediatric trials that are only now beginning.”
