PFIZER CEO ‐ 4th shot coming sooner than expected…
2021-12-11
[CitizenFreePress] Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said today that people will need a fourth Covid Injection sooner than expected after research shows the Omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine.

Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the companies said.

"When we see real-world data, will determine if the omicron is well covered by the third dose and for how long. And the second point, I think we will need a fourth dose," Bourla told CNBC.

Bourla previously projected that a fourth shot would be needed 12 months after the third dose. "With omicron we need to see because we have very little information. We may need it faster," he said.

#14  I read somewhere that syptoms of the O are similar to the adverse reactions reported for the vaxx itself. Coincidence or cover story?

#10  sooner than expected

Depends on who you are talking to.

how long before we see a Pfizer VAX hourly Auto-injector pump on the market?

You will be issued a mouse, which you must milk daily for your antidote.

In the METAverse injections will be continuous and will facilitate harvesting of biometric, immunological and psychometric information that META will share in real time with American Stasi.

To protect the People -- the Blacks and the GoodWhites -- from any-letter viruses as well as BadWhite social bacilli such as White S'premacy, OrangeMan-ism, CisHeteroNormativism, Liberty-Delusion-Syndrone (LDS) etc

#8  If neither the original shots nor the first booster are able to protect against the omicron variant, and the second booster is engineered identically to the previous shots, then why would we expect it to be of any use against omicron? (I note that nowhere in any discussion is there any analysis of time between the various shots, so must presume that it is not important...)

#7  There were basically no deaths from influenza last year, as far as the "records" are concerned.

#6  AFAICT there are zero reports of fatalities from the Omicron variant anywhere in the world.
Not that consumers of the MSM will read about this any time in the foreseeable future.

#5  The 'no 3rd shot' and 'unvaxxed' demographic is not as hysterical as the true believers

That's exactly why the Powers That Be™ work at slapping them down hard.

#4  It’s hard to find any cases of it in the unvaxxed population.

Because the Omi symptoms are so mild that many folks aren't even concerned enough to get tested, possibly?

The 'no 3rd shot' and 'unvaxxed' demographic is not as hysterical as the true believers and don't go running to the ER for the sniffles.

#3  Here in San Diego we recorded our 2nd Omicron case. Both the first case and this one are people who are fully vaccinated AND boosted. Does it seem like Omicron really likes vaccinated people? It’s hard to find any cases of it in the unvaxxed population.

So how long before we see a Pfizer VAX hourly Auto-injector pump on the market? Like the Insulin pumps used by some diabetics today? ☻

#1  Except, as I understand it, people are not getting 'severely sick' from Omicron.
And people will line up to get this. Seems it's sole purpose is to f-kup any natural immunity you might get from Omicron.
