Not everyone needs to get an annual Covid booster, the head of pharma giant Moderna has admitted.

The company's CEO Stéphane Bancel said his shots are mainly targeted at over-50s and people with underlying health conditions.

His comments seem to be at odds with the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) which is urging everyone over the age of five to get boosted.

The virus is now predominantly only killing the most vulnerable because the US has built up strong immunity through high infection rates and repeated vaccine rollouts.

Mr Bancel told a finance conference on Monday: 'I think it's going to be like the flu. If you're a 25-year-old, do you need an annual booster every year if you're healthy?

‘You might want to... but I think it's going to be similar to flu where it's going to be people at high-risk, people above 50 years of age, people with comorbidities, people with cancer and other conditions, people with transplants.’

This message is exactly all I have been saying now since probably mid-2020. I'm not one of these magnets/doom/everyone-dead anti-vaccine guys, but I have adamantly insisted that based on what we've known for some time -- Not everyone needs or even should get vaccinated.

For that, the usual pro-covid lunatics have lambasted me repeatedly.

Pisspants, I'm singling you out -- you have been wrong throughout this, you are wrong now and if you had an ounce of integrity you would apologize to everyone for your constantly misrepresenting other's stances and then acknowledge that all along people who felt as I did were correct and you were played for a fool.

All the fuktards who screeched about not trusting scientists and how awful our critical thinking was - No, we were right. You are always right to stop and think for yourself.

Anyone can look at the people who died WITH covid. It's elderly and sickly people, people who will or would have died anyway or would have had a high percentage of it. That alone tells me who needs to consider the vaccine and those who do not need to worry about it.

Those who died WITH covid: Average age 78, 80% obese, 2.8 comorbidities on average. The vaccine does not keep you from getting covid and the vaccine will not keep you from infecting others. These are indisputable facts and that tells all I need to know about it.

I do not need a bunch of paid off scientists interpreting that raw data for me and neither does anyone else.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

People said this early on (3-4 months into the pandemic) that it was very similar to flu and got shamed into oblivion

Flu actually more likely to be bad for kids/healthy people too

To be fair, 70% of the population is overweight or obese so that's a lot of people who actually are technically "vulnerable"

And nowadays with body "positivity" etc most people are fully in denial about their own fatness. So won't even admit they fall into those categories.

I agree that people who are genuinely fit and healthy won't be significantly affected. I ran multiple 10k and 15k trail runs while I had it, meanwhile my ex was coughing up blood. Was running with another guy last weekend who ran a full blown ultra (100k) whilst infected; he barely noticed he was sick. Obviously he wasn't fat or unfit tho.

Yes and no. Yes, the population as a whole is fatter and unhealthier than ever -- however, we aren't 78 years old on average. That is the average age of everyone who died WITH covid, 78 years of age.

It's not that you were either old OR obese OR had comorbidities -- No, on average you had all three going on.

Someone 35 and obese with diabetes or some other comorbidity, sure - more at risk than someone that age healthy (who was basically at 0.00001% risk), but they're still not 78 and their overall risk wasn't too terribly high, even if they were unhealthy fatties.

So OP and all of our other resident drooling retards autistically screeched over the hypothetical that young people would have to get boosted forever, and now also autistically screech at the policy that young people won't need to get boosted forever

It has to be older than 78 yrs old avg by now. The age of people dying within 60 days of a positive PCR test keeps going up every month. It's a damn good thing we don't test the same amount for flu every year and then claim everyone who dies within 60 days of a positive test is a "flu related death" or we'd be classifying about half a million deaths that way every year.


And "overweight or obese" ends up as too broad a description for severe illness or death. A 50 yr old that's 20 pounds overweight is a very different risk than a 50 yr old that's 80 or 120 pounds overweight (very obese).

We were right from the start, which is why few kids under 12 have gotten even one jab. You're doing classic psychological projection. Find a mirror, broski. You're upset, we're laughing in between "I told ya so."

Covid and flu are not the same by any rate, maybe in years but defo not now.


I trust eric more than ceo moderna:
Each day in the United States our immunity wall (vs severe Covid) develops more cracks in it
Why?
Far more people have their vaccine or infection-induced immunity waned than are getting a booster

The three highest comorbidities are:

Hypertension
Diabetes
Heart disease

All of those three go up with age and obesity. People don't die from covid due to being fat per se; they die due to the health issues that you tend to gain from being fat.

This is why you see racial disparities. Blacks have higher rates of hypertension and indians have higher rates of diabetes.

Well said, but you know what the #1 comorbidity for death is? Dementia. Which only adds to your point. You don't die from dementia itself, rather it's a signal of many other health problems that have accumulated.

Good, so your mayor, who you're gonna vote for again, can explain to us all why kids should be forced to get the jab.

And are you saying that Nutsy, SillieBazzillie, NYPat, ViolentZ, Wincel, etc, are weak and vulnerable and that's why they should get the booster?

I'd be interested to see stats on drug interactions. Did blood thinners and BP meds affect outcomes?

We know that in the early days, docs were killing people by putting them on ventilators. There are a lot of variables at play.

For that, the usual pro-covid lunatics have lambasted me repeatedly.

Pisspants, I'm singling you out -- you have been wrong throughout this, you are wrong now and if you had an ounce of integrity you would apologize to everyone for your constantly misrepresenting other's stances and then acknowledge that all along people who felt as I did were correct and you were played for a fool.

All the fuktards who screeched about not trusting scientists and how awful our critical thinking was - No, we were right. You are always right to stop and think for yourself.

Anyone can look at the people who died WITH covid. It's elderly and sickly people, people who will or would have died anyway or would have had a high percentage of it. That alone tells me who needs to consider the vaccine and those who do not need to worry about it.

Those who died WITH covid: Average age 78, 80% obese, 2.8 comorbidities on average. The vaccine does not keep you from getting covid and the vaccine will not keep you from infecting others. These are indisputable facts and that tells all I need to know about it.

I do not need a bunch of paid off scientists interpreting that raw data for me and neither does anyone else.
No, you were not "right" and never were. Funny how you suddenly give a chit what "big pharma" has to say though... when you think it helps your cause.

You don't know more than the CDC nor does this quote change the fact that the vaccines are safe and effective and should be taken by everyone who is eligible.

And your "indisputable facts" are a joke. Just because you keep repeating the things you want to believe over and over does not mean they're facts.

It's always funny though when anti-vaxxers think they finally found the evidence to prove they knew more than the experts all along... Fuking LOL
