Why Pfizer Thinks Its COVID Vaccine’s Days Could Be Numbered

Rapid coronavirus mutations could eventually make current COVID-19 vaccines useless

On nearly every front, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) has been a blazing success. It was the first to win U.S. Emergency Use Authorization and full approval. More doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine have been given to Americans than any other — by far. The vaccine is on track to generate sales of $33.5 billion this year. Pfizer’s revenue growth could just be getting started.

But is all of this success only temporary? Perhaps so. Here’s why Pfizer thinks that its COVID-19 vaccine’s days could be numbered.

Resistance isn’t futile

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told Fox News last week that the company’s scientists are researching every coronavirus variant that emerges to determine if it “can escape the protection of our vaccine.” Bourla said that so far no such variant has been found. Then he added, “But we believe that it is likely that one day, one of them will emerge.”

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky seems to agree with Bourla’s view. Walensky stated in July, “These vaccines operate really well in protecting us from severe disease and death, but the big concern is that the next variant that might emerge — just a few mutations, potentially, away — could potentially evade our vaccines.”

Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical advisor to President Biden, is also concerned about vaccine-resistant variants. He warned in an interview with McClatchy earlier this month that there could be an “ample chance” for a variant to emerge that current vaccines won’t be nearly as effective against.

Some healthcare experts outside the U.S. concur. Scientists in the United Kingdom released an analysis on July 26 that stated it’s “almost certain” that coronavirus variants will emerge “that eventually leads to current vaccine failure.”

  1. Variants??? What do these scientists think is going on???

    The corona virus, reacting to every “vaccine”, is doing what ALL germs, bacterial and viral, do when threatened with elimination and death.
    They mutate.
    They adapt.
    They resist.
    We could have a “booster” shot every five months and guess what.
    We have a new variant emerge.

    That, my friends, is science.
    You still “believe the science” right???

    LOL!
    Get off your knees you lemmings.
