Billions more in profits are at stake for some vaccine makers as the U.S. moves toward dispensing COVID-19 booster shots to shore up Americans’ protection against the virus.

U.S. health officials late on Thursday endorsed booster shots of the Pfizer vaccine for all Americans 65 and older — along with tens of millions of younger people who are at higher risk from the coronavirus because of health conditions or their jobs.

Officials described the move as a first step. Boosters will likely be offered even more broadly in the coming weeks or months, including boosters of vaccines made by Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.

Amazing how we’re back to honesty, or at least candidness, in headlines.

“How much the manufacturers stand to gain depends on how big the rollout proves to be.”

How much is your or your family and friends lives worth? I don’t care how much they make if they get it right. I can’t spend the cash left for me on anything anyway if I’m dead or have no reason to spend it on just me.

Why, with that kind of money, they could buy just about anything! Even some people to infiltrate conservative websites and promote their products at every opportunity, ridiculing or simply ignoring any mention of side effects.

What am I saying. That would never happen.

Read this article this morning. I’ve always said Big Pharma isn’t interested in curing diseases, they’re only interested in treating diseases. Treatment is a pipeline to money.

The last seven paragraphs are interesting, and the next to last in particular. The last paragraph is borderline scary.

That’s what this sthick, COvid-19, was all about ... and also, as Clyburn said when this all started ... This is our chance to further our (Democrats) agenda.

Honestly whats the point since no matter what they make, they will eventually be sued for 10,000 time more from the victims they knowly murdered. They wont have this exemption one the public wakes the hell up.

Who knows what kind of “jabs” they use?

And their leaders don’t take any.
