Well, vaccines are magic.
They can save lives.
-
Everybody thinks, you know,
when they hear,
-
okay, you're going to stay locked down
until there's a vaccine.
-
And as Bill Gates said, a magical vaccine.
-
They're thinking that all the vaccines are
going to do what we've been told vaccines do,
-
which is to give everybody who gets one
lifetime immunity.
-
And no, you know, major health problems.
-
What are the chances they're actually
going to get a vaccine like that?
-
I would say zero.
-
Here's what I predict.
-
I predict you're going to be seeing
Bill Gates and Tony Fauci...
-
week after week
dampening expectations about the vaccine.
-
They originally saying it's a magical vaccine
we're going to give to everybody...
-
and everybody is going to get the immune.
-
And they're going to say, well, actually
only 80% of people will be immune.
-
And then they'll say 70%
and they'll say 50%.
-
And then they'll say 20%.
But it's still worth it to have 20%.
-
And they'll try to sell us on that.
-
Breaking news. Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer
just announced moments ago...
-
that its coronavirus vaccine is 95% effective.
-
Meg, we should point out that Pfizer shares
are up by about 3% on this news.
-
Obviously more good news there.
-
91%!
90% efficacy rate.
-
This is a great vaccine.
-
Great day for humanity. Great day for science.
Great day for the markets. Check this out!
-
Because it's got to be purchased,
manufactured, and then...
-
there has to be money there
for it to be purchased.
-
And so the world needs
to put up more money!
-
Their vaccine's efficacy against COVID
dropped from 96% to 84%.
-
80% effective after just one dose.
Just a single dose. A reduction of 75%.
-
Those lines go down.
Which fell below 50%.
-
You can't even keep up with this because it's moving so quickly. 42%. 30 to 40%.
-
Vaccine provides just 33% protection. We know no vaccine lasts forever. So the
-
protection starts to wane a bit. And that's what the boost is all about.
-
And then they're going to say, well, vaccine, yeah, it's not actually lifetime immunity.
-
Immunity only lasts for one year, one season. And actually, maybe not even that. Maybe only
-
two or three months. And then you have to get another one.
-
It may not offer protection for a lifetime. It's not a one and done.
-
Booster, so-called third dose. It is confusing to people.
-
It really is going to be about focusing on getting that shot just once a year.
-
Much simpler, much easier to do. Don't worry so much about the
-
number of boosters. Worry about when you got your last booster.
-
It's the CEO of Moderna, Stephane Foncell. What a blowout quarter. Congratulations to you.
-
Oh yeah, we definitely think it's going to be like a flu shot. COVID is not going away.
-
It's interesting.
-
And that's why we're also working on combining flu and COVID so it's easier.
-
So you are the COVID competitor.
-
The new updated COVID-19 vaccine is the most.
-
And that's my prediction. I could be wrong, but I would say zero. And
-
all you have to do is look at the flu vaccine.
-
Well, thank you for, uh, for illuminating all of this for us today.
-
I want to leave on a positive note, but it's like, uh, wow, we're screwed.
-
And that's the magic of this thing, but there's no doubt in the next five years,
-
we can, you know, we just need to mess around.
