BioNTech CEO Says “It’s Very Clear” That New Omicron Shot Should Be A Three Dose Vaccine

In Brief
- The Facts:
According to government health authorities and pharmaceutical companies like BioNTech, two doses of a COVID vaccine are not enough to stop you catching the Omicron.
A third does may provide more protection from severe symptoms.
- Reflect On:
Why mandate COVID vaccines when they do not stop transmission or infection?
If they protect people from severe COVID, should that not be an individual choice?
The Omicron variant is spreading, and it’s most likely not the last time a variant will emerge. After all, that’s what viruses do. With COVID, it is approaching endemic status where several variants will continue to emerge.
Uğur Şahin, CEO of BioNTech, who co-developed a COVID shot with Pfizer, recently stated that, “our vaccine for the Omicron variant, should be a three dose vaccine.” Omicron vaccines are already in the developmental stage as the variant continues to spread.
Some journalists are reporting that this means an Omicron vaccine will be a separate three dose vaccine, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. What seems to be the case is that a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine is what neutralized the Omicron COVID-19 variant in a laboratory test. That being said, vaccines developed specifically for Omicron are still under development.
At least one COVID shot a year, and maybe more, may be mandated by government health authorities. These shots may be required for people to keep their “vaccine passes” up to date. This is already happening in Israel with regards to a booster shot, and the European Union is considering a nine-month expiration date on its COVID vaccine certificates.

How about we take 100,000 people infected, give half of them ivermectin+ and the other half standard of care and see which group does better? Test for mortality, hospitalization, oxygen levels, symptom severity, viral load and other surrogates along the way.

Looks like Pfizer’s not going to stop until they have all the money. 😏

Can’t have control groups because they might not prove what the Fauci/China biological warfare vaccine groupies want them to prove.

Everyone reports the same about the omicron virus: mild cases, no deaths.
Vaccines are not needed - let it play itself out - it only adds to the natural immunity totals!!

I think we should take ten shots a day for the next ten years.
That's 3,652 shots because we have to include two leap years as well.
Enjoy your shots everybody! And make sure you wear your masks everywhere you go.

If. you catch Omicron, just get yourself a box of tissues and some Nyquill and lay low for a couple of days.

so many shots....
Maybe an unintended consequence will be things that are instant or quick will be popular, as people will now spend all their waking hours in line for the next booster shot.
And proving the new fully vaxed condition again and again at places you go.
Reader’s Digest Online Condensed Books, only instant coffee at coffee places, 15 minute TV shows instead of miniseries. Politicians’ speeches limited to three minutes——hey, there’s a good one.

My mommy always votes Dem and when I grow up I will always vote Dem for the rest of my life. Fauci is a great man.

Regarding clever graphic, I'm not anti-vax. I just support idea of “caveat emptor,” let the buyer beware, particularly after desperate Democrats are alleged to have stolen a presidential election.
After all, not only do Democrats and media blatantly ignore alleged evidence of widespread election fraud, but Dr. Fauci, Democrats and media are now unthinkingly expecting everybody to ignore concerns about possibly deadly problems associated with experimental mRNA technology imo.

BioNTech CEO Says “It’s Very Clear” That New Omicron Shot Should Be A Three Dose Vaccine Will it really take three vaccinations to infect people with Omicron? Even if so, it might be worth it, to avoid this "immunity wears off in six months" nonsense.
