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.
-
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 be 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...
-
the 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, huh!
-
And that's why we're also working
on combining flu and COVID so it's easier.
-
So you are the COVID company then.
-
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,
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 5 years,
-
we can, you know,
we just need to mess around!
