Pfizer shouldn't be allowed to state publicly their opinion on this. Huge conflict of interests
I got the vaccine, and am shocked that I may need to comply with another dose or “booster” shots.
I’m trying my hardest to be a team player but I’m incredibly concerned that one side would be OK with “Life-Saving-Vacinne-as-a-Service” for the low cost of x$ per month, for an unknown amount of time, and the other side is cool with ignoring it completely.
Who will ultimately be right is anyone’s guess, but with all the stories about bullshit “variants”and vaccinated people still getting fucked, I have a depleted confidence “in the science”. The same “science” that got us in here in the first place via “Gain of Function” research.
How is that bad?
When you go to a car dealer, you know he has an incentive to sell to you.
Is it bad? No, it just is.
It doesn't mean you stop listening to him. You just filter the information to get what you need to make up your own decision.
If you distrust the dealer you can go to another dealer but you can also still work with him and maybe bring your own expert, which is popular practice.
In the end you need to buy a car and you can pretty much assume ALL dealers have the same incentive to sell to you.
We are talking about procurement of new vaccines and whether this additional shot is actually helping or whether this is due to the fact that Pfizer is going to benefit from this.
What we are not talking about is whether to vaccinate. The case on this is closed and all governments are working towards getting their populations vaccinated because without this they know it would be an either apocalyptic event or forever-dragging crippling restrictions.
But no one should believe them or take what they say at face value.
It is up to us (meaning our governments) to require proper documentation for this and make our own minds based on it.
Waiting for anyone competent to confirm or correct this person re: CDC's potentially wholly flawed math: https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/defining-away-vaccin...
But, typically, governments have armies of people at their disposal and some of these people are experts that can read and understand documentation.
Demand your government to be accountable to find right people to do the right job of checking that documentation provided by Pfizer.
It would seem prudent to do this before you sign a contract for another couple billion dollars.
Pfizer created the vaccine. Who would know better than them whether a booster is necessary?
Pfizer worked on boosters before the emergence of the Delta virus and already started pushing for the use of boosters when there was little evidence of significant benefits.
It would be great if the news stopped parroting the Pfizer press office.
