It was like clockwork too. The vaccines were announced, and within a day or two suddenly there's all these variants to worry about. And people wonder why there's "conspiracy theorists" in society.
It's WAAY beyond obvious at this juncture,just how this Pandemic is playing out.
From a somewhat worrying virus back at the end of 2019,to what now appears will be a highly contagious and fatal virus,capable of eradicating humanity tout suite.
https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2021/0416/1210203-coronavirus-global/Paul Hunter, professor in medicine at the University of East Anglia, said the variant features two "escape mutations" - E484Q and L452R - which "are causing people to be concerned".
"There's laboratory evidence that both of these are escape mutations," he said.
"Basically, applying what we know about other human coronaviruses would suggest that this is going to be even less controlled by vaccine.
"But we don't know that for certain at the moment.":D
I'm quite surprised that RTE left the last line in the piece,must have been a slack night in Editing...?
Enter Pfizer's Mr Bourla with the Good(ish) news.....(for Pfizer shareholders in particular)The head of Pfizer has said that people will "likely" need a third dose of the company's Covid-19 shot within six to 12 months of vaccination.
CEO Albert Bourla also said annual vaccinations against the coronavirus may well be required.
"We need to see what would be the sequence, and for how often we need to do that, that remains to be seen," Mr Bourla told CNBC in an interview recorded on 1 April and broadcast last night.
"A likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for a third dose, somewhere between six and 12 months and then from there, there will be an annual revaccination, but all of that needs to be confirmed," he said, adding that variants will play a "key role."
"It is extremely important to suppress the pool of people that can be susceptible to the virus," he said.
Researchers currently do not know how long vaccines provide protection against the coronavirus.
Sleepy Joe's man then clambers aboard the sloop John B.....David Kessler, the head of US President Joe Biden's Covid-19 response team, warned a congressional committee yesterday that Americans should expect to receive booster shots to defend against coronavirus variants.
"We don't know everything at this moment," he told the House Coronavirus Crisis Subcommittee. "We are studying the durability of the antibody response.
"It seems strong but there is some waning of that and no doubt the variants challenge" that, he said.
"I think for planning purposes, planning purposes only, I think we should expect that we may have to boost."
Thank God for Planners ?Cue the return of Mr Bourda to (at last) put some flesh on the financial bones....
Mr Bourla also defended the price of his company's vaccine, saying they are saving lives and will not be sold to poor countries for a profit.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov explained earlier this week that the vaccine's price was rising as sales were being negotiated, costing as much as €19.50, up from €12.
The prices are in sharp contrast to the vaccine produced by British-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca, which vowed not to make a profit on its product during the pandemic and sold it to the EU for less than €2 a unit.
Mr Bourla did not confirm the price of the Pfizer vaccine but admitted that it was sold at a higher price to developed countries like those in the EU or the United States.
"In middle-income countries, we sell it for half the price," he said. "In poorer countries, including in Africa, we sell it at cost."
The entire thing has smelled rancid from the beginning,and these newly revealed tidbits only serve to reinforce the Conspiracy thoughts....and perhaps with some justification
FOLLOW THE MONEY.Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

The mistake has been to dismiss what a lot of people have been saying as 'conspiracy theories'.0 -

Never mind denying the existance of Covid,that has been for quite a while irrelevant,it is now impossible to ignore the rapid growth of Covid plc,and the emergence of the old elite,rebadged as the new elite,each one intent on parading their concerned,green credentials as they strive to "help" Civilization find itself.
We need to get realistic now,and accept that given the overwhelming appitite of the public for restrictions,impositions,and instructions will now be satisfied by Politicians who know know how far their previous limits have been extended to.
Call it the New World Order or The Great Reset,as is your preference,but the new reality is now staring us in the face Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

Control of all human activity and in which the people are dependent on the government (universal basic income, vaccine passport (social credit system)) is what I believe the new normal post covid world will look like.0 -
