    Sure, but they are not big profit makers for pharma, which seem to be your point.

    Pfizer/BioNTech is one of the Gates funded vaccines. He's already said vaccines provide a 20-1 financial return. He's also publicly said this 'pandemic' won't end until the entire world is vaccinated. Now it's two doses. Next it might be annual. Do the math. Astronomical profits.

    Bad news for the doom mongers

    It will be as many as possible for them to extract as much money from you as possible.

    No it will actually be based on measurements of vaccinated people. If the immunity levels of people are proven to remain high over time then subsequent doses will not be required. You seem to think they will be flogging this like a Sky sport subscription or something.

    Has anyone else noted the distinct lack of airtime Gates has been getting in the past 2 months? Compared to when it all started and over the summer.

    You’d think with the announcement of this first western vaccine, he’d be all over it, talking about the funding his Foundation puts into vaccine research, GAVI, this BioNTech company connection (which I didn’t know about myself)

    It’s almost like he’s been told to STFU.

    surely you couldn't distribute this by GP?

    I would have assumed they would need to set up vaccination centres - and then you go to your local(ish) one on some specified day, queue and get your jab.

    Go by electoral region and surname for sorting/planning.

    It was predicted that this thread would go to the dogs once some solid vaccine news came out...and so it has come to pass.

    They can hardly be blamed for a pandemic and adding a profit to a product is business and neither illegal nor immoral. I believe vaccines account for under 5% of annual pharma sales. Here's an article from 2015 on it.

    He had to disable all replies and comments across all social media platforms as well due to the overwhelming negative response. He's a primary funder of the UN and WHO. The approved vaccine was always going to be one of his.

    They're now saying other candidates are in later phase testing and will support the Pfizer/BioNTech roll-out. They'll be the likes of AstraZeneca and Moderna, which he has funded as well. So predictable :)

    Really good break down of the current state of play in easy to understand english for nonexperts (and self proclaimed ones)
    Worth a read.

    We're just pointing out the glaringly obvious. Sorry you don't want to hear.

    GP wouldn't be an option - current version of vaccine being stored at super cold temperatures.

    Chinese vaccine trial in Brazil paused due to adverse reaction - continuing in other countries.

    Again, take the word of the people who are actually funding it:

    - 20-1 financial return on each vaccine
    - Aiming for entire population to be vaccinated.
    - Multiple doses.

    Do the math. This isn't difficult to understand.

    Will it just be GPs administering this vaccine or can others be involved?

    It wont be distributed by GPs. The gp wouldn't have facilities. This vaccine needs to be stored at -80 degrees.

    There will probably be large scale vaccination centres set up. Providing that type of fridge to every gp would be too expensive.

    Do you have a link for that 20-1 return? So what exactly is your issue? The alleged profits or the vaccinations? BTW this suggests it was the Germans who gave BionTech the money.

    He wasn't talking about money. It's part of the argument of how vaccines more than repay their cost in economic and health terms.

    Investing in global health organizations aimed at increasing access to vaccines created a 20-to-1 return in economic benefit.
    “We feel there’s been over a 20-to-1 return,” yielding $200 billion over those 20 or so years, Gates told CNBC’s Becky Quick on “Squawk Box” from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “Helping young children live, get the right nutrition, contribute to their countries — that has a payback that goes beyond any typical financial return.

    You clearly lack understanding in general based on your last few posts.

    Do you need a link to the conspiracy threads ?

    Theres been some great technical discussions on this thread, it would be a shame to have it railroaded

    Nah, it's Bill Gates..

    I'm amazed at the lack of research people do on this. Do you even know what's actually in the vaccine before you roll-up? The components? Surely you have?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,626 ✭✭✭Micky 32


    You'll be paying for it through your taxes.

    If it makes my life go back to normal and i get to see my family in the USA again i’ll happily contribute some to the pot.

    It’s the lockdowns that will be costing you

    Says the guy who's about to roll-up for multiple vaccines, and highly likely doesn't even know what the components of said vaccine are :pac:

    Yeah GPs won't be doing it I wouldn't think.

    My guess looking at other countries would be that we turn some of the testing centres into vaccination centres with the help of the defence forces logistical corps.

    Pfizer have already stated they'll look after everything up to point of entry to the country, after that your going to need assistance from the likes of the defence forces.

    Yes it is and Bill Gates is busy offloading his billions, supporting vaccination projects and malaria treatments worldwide.

    Dear Lord. He's talking about dollars. He literally confirms "$200 billion" at the end of the clip.

    Do the math yourself. If he said himself the whole world needs to be vaccinated, with multiple doses, where do you think all of that return is going to go? Surely not back to him, the capital investor :D

    Why on earth would people taking any medication or vaccine be expected to understand it's pharmacology? If you showed people a molecular diagram of paracetemol 99% of them would glaze over, never mind understanding metabolic pathways and everything else.

    Here is an article from Ars Technica that gives a good overview of the latest announcement:

    As an aside, I enjoy the comments sections on their articles as they're often well informed and do not tolerate stupidity.
