Moderna calls for 4th shot (General)

Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel, at a Goldman Sachs-organized healthcare conference: I still believe we’re going to need boosters in the fall of ’22 and forward.

And forward. So an endless stream of boosters, in fact. He cites an Israeli study that shows a 5-fold increase in antibodies after a 4th shot. (Btw, what's Goldman-Sachs got to do with running world-health?)

For a start, an increase in antibodies doesn't necessarily co-relate to vaccine efficiency in the real world - only means it causes an immune response reaction in the body - which may not be effective against the current Omicron strain. In fact, the information i've seen says it's not.

Finally, even some health experts have caught up to Formosahut and are starting to question the wisdom of having for-profit pharmaceutical companies dictating our entire Covid response.

Andrew Pollard: We can’t vaccinate the planet every four to six months. It’s not sustainable or affordable.

Monica Gandhi: It trains your immune system wrong. It doesn't train your immune system to recognize a variant. It trains your immune system to recognize the old ancestral strain that the shots are made of. That concept is the 'original antigenic sin,' is what they call it.
