Pfizer announced it started a clinical trial testing an omicron-specific formula of its Covid-19 vaccine. With the vaccinated and boosted already highly protected against hospitalization, the FDA would have to consider if the formula is even needed.

  1. Do some basic research into the vaccines, the response to covid is a great scientific accomplishment. Be skeptical of your own skepticism vaccine skeptics, thats what I did, and I found I was wrong. I cannot tell you everything, and argue to all of you about why you are wrong. I am not gonna carry you people on my back. You have to do your own research!

  2. I beleive that they shouldn't have removed these treatments completely given it's better than having nothing and in the scenarios that individuals have the previous prominent strains that aren't the omicron variant. If it were the case that we could easily and immediately identify the exact strains individuals are infected with during admission, that would be a Godsend (like obtaining a better and efficient measure of testing method than RT-PCR).

    However, we are currently limited to PCR testing being the gold standard. This takes approximately 24 hrs. to a few days to obtain results and identify the specific strains. Once people are admitted, it's ideal to have treatment that will be applicable to the majority of the cases at the time.

    Too bad FDA has crappy standards for regulating implications for these medications…..Hopefully science will have solid treatments that are effective than the previous monoclonal antibodies. Although these industries may have billion dollar budgets, we should note that it's extremely difficult to develop full proof medications/cures for illnesses scientists still fully don't even understand. Yet alone a pathological virus that's constantly evolving by the months. Known to date, there are over 35 key variants that are prone to infect the population depending on the pattern of society. It's sad.

  3. If only we could make a vaccine against greed!

  4. MUST READ : 'The Real Anthony Fauci' by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

  5. Leaked Database Shows U.S. Military Disease Skyrocketing After Covid-19 vaccines.

  6. A need for monthly subscription vaccine? What happens after a Year? A droid zombie person?,,

  7. If you have to be Convinced, Reminded , Pressure , Lie to , Bullied, Socially Shame , Threatened, Paid, Punish and criminalize if all of this is necessary to gain your compliance you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is NOT in your best interest

  8. "For the first time in history the ineffectiveness of a medicine is being blamed on those who refuse to take it."

  9. its time for the MSM to be asked to willing leave the country or be arrested for treason.

  10. The raccoon is proof that even in nature masks are worn as a safety measure.

  11. Pfizer looking for even more record profits. Fixed the headline.

  12. Can someone just explain to me whyy ??? Are they planning to keep the omikron arround for ever ? What if it mutates and we get hornikron 😁😁😁

  13. Jail time for all Pfizer top brass removal of prophets

  14. Aren't we already seeing a new sub-variant to moronic…I mean…omicron? Will this just magically work against that? Also, since I haven't gotten a single JAB, do I need this one now that I've managed to survive with my family being unmarked for over 2 years of the BS?

  15. I love how they tell us their vaccine is already effective against it… they clearly believe themselves, that’s why they’re making a new one 😂

  16. So this is the new norm uh ? New variants and vaccines every 6 months. One question. Does the booster cover all variants or just a particular variants vaccine?

  17. Still testing, we all know the first 3 never worked.

  18. And so the small virus sat dormant in isolation, studying its host's strengths and weaknesses…and when it was ready, it became active. First it entered the pulmonary system where instead of wreaking havoc, in effect, it bolstered the system for its own wellbeing, cleaning up and removing impurities which might harm itself and the host. Then it entered the circulatory system, again improving the host in order to further its goals..it cleaned up plaque and strengthened the blood vessels and muscles reducing circulatory problems. And it fortified the immune system against its brethren. Next it visted the other systems and improved each so that both it and host would live long murtually beneficial lives. Lastly it arrived at the reproductive system and discovered that external invaders often caused harm and abnormal activity which was detrimental to its plans so it repelled the intruders. Unfortunately sperm was considered to be intrusive in certain hosts so it produced an antibody to destroy them. So ended mankind, with neither a bang nor a whimper, defeated by a tiny but well-meaning ally. Sic transit gloria mundi.

  19. I believe these companies are injecting people with new varients to keep the money flowing

  20. Whatever……… $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  21. Omicron has peaked and will be basically over by the time these vaccines come out.

  22. No one is talking about the fact you could theoretically vaccinate every person on Earth and still not get rid of COVID because of the animal reservoir. Not only would it be impossible to vaccinate every person, but you would have to vaccinate all the pets, livestock, and oh yeah wild animals too!

  23. ALL THE LIES SAID IN THE BEGINNING AND BY WHOM WHEN THEIR NOT SO MIRACLE VACCINE FIRST CAME OUT:

    "When people are vaccinated, they can feel safe they are not going to be infected." -Fauci

    "If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in an IC unit, and you're not going to die." -Biden

    "If you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask." -Biden

    "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations." -Biden

    "These vaccines are HIGHLY, highly effective!" -Fauci

    "Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, and cannot get sick." -Rochelle Walensky (CDC director)

    TrUsT tHe SciEnCe….Still trust these people??…

  24. This is the biggest wealth transfer in the history of the world. Rich produce vaccine, governments pay for vaccine, poor people pay taxes. The elite class is taking money directly out of our pockets, and making you feel proud about it for consuming their increasingly worthless product.

  25. NBC > national BS corroborated

  26. The first vaccine didn’t turn out to good 😬

  27. Let me know when we get a real vaccine and not a flu like shot then you will have my full attention. Until then all these companies need to stop trying to sell the public on nonsense. Plenty have had the vaccine and still get Corona on all levels including death. Keep me posted I'm interested not against…

  28. 😂😂😂😂imagine taking a 4 shot

  29. Better hurry up – we have all had Omicron. Anyone out there falling for this crap ?

  32. Does anyone still listen to the Sad Little Man?

  33. Were seriously still feeding these people money after all the lies? Lol

  34. Lol anyone this go able deserves what they get. This is the definition of insanity

  35. We got the midterm elections this year. What's the point?

  36. 1.9 Trillion dollar HIEST
    If you put this information in a timeline
    You can see thing where intentionally
    Changed to fit the narrative.
    The vaccine rollout Dec18,2020
    Breakthrough case April 2021
    The CDC stopped counting and tracking breakthrough cases in May 2021.
    Phaseout the PCR test announced July2021
    Then the change in the definition of a vaccine in August-September 2021.
    Boosters in the Fall 2021
    December 2021 phaseout the PCR test
    This is all one big control scamdemic.

  37. Perfect. Same people who already got the first 3 will get the 4th.
    In the mean time the anti-vax will continue to perish.

  38. There is about 61 million submissive Americans ready for the new booster!

  39. Can we subscribe to a vaccine of the month club? Get sent different flavors?

  40. Don't you love the word choice here, saying the Supreme Court blocked the rule, vs the Supreme Court finding the rule unconstitutional.

  41. Good for old people

  42. keep the business strong boys, take your new jab

  43. I know fauci you did a great job creating this virus you deserve to be tried for crimes against humanity

  44. Did you know , Once you have contracted SARS Covi two, after five days the virus is no longer replicating. That means two things. Number one, remdesevere does nothing for the patient after 5days. The goal after that timeframe is to deal with inflammation and side effects/Damage caused by spike proteins. Second, We know that it is the spike proteins that cause most of the problem. Should we be concerned about the fact that the MaxineTeaches our bodies to produce more of those same Spike proteins?
