Here is Pfizer’s “Ideal Perspective” for vaccines
If you think the current situation is ideal for pharmaceutical companies, you are wrong. From the same words of the CEO of a pharmaceutical company we see that it can be better, and you will see that it will be.
In a series of interviews with Israeli TV channels, Albert Bourla said it "would not be a good scenario" if people were given boosters every four or five months. "What I hope [is] that we will have a vaccine that you have to do once a year," he told Channel 12 news on Saturday.
Bourla said it's easier to sell the idea that "easier for people to remember" if a vaccine is only required once a year, calling it "an ideal situation" from a "public health perspective," of course. forgetting to mention private profits.
“We are looking to see if we can create a vaccine that covers Omicron and doesn't forget the other variants and that could be a solution,” the CEO added, indicating that such a vaccine could be mass-produced from March.
In a separate interview with Channel 13 news, Bourla admitted that there was a "sizable minority" of people reluctant to take the vaccine. Within this group, the CEO of the pharmaceutical giant – who personally earned over $ 21 i in 2020 alone, in the face of huge corporate profits – identified "a small minority of people who profit from the circulation of disinformation" , attacking them fiercely calling them "criminals".
Already one of the most vaccinated places in the world, Israel was among the first to approve the second booster, which according to early studies proved largely ineffective in preventing new infections. Following the introduction of the fourth dose, Israel recorded its highest daily number of new Covid-19 cases this week.
Both the World Health Organization and the EU's European Medicines Agency, the European Medicines Agency, have previously warned against overuse of boosters, albeit for different reasons. WHO has called for a more even distribution of vaccine doses around the world, noting that some nations are moving forward with the third and fourth shots before many in poorer countries receive the first. The EMA, meanwhile, has indicated the potential adverse effects of boosters, warning that repeated vaccinations over a short period of time could possibly cause "problems with the immune response."
The question is very simple: convincing people to get vaccinated every four or five months is difficult, almost impossible, while it is possible to convince them to have an annual, perhaps mandatory, vaccination. Marketing is a serious matter, you cannot ignore the consumer. Whether vaccination is useful or not is a secondary fact.
