At this rate, can we see a 10th booster by this time next year? I’m fast likening this to the majority of profits made by Airbus in their maintenance/parts business..but for big pharma. So yeah, no con there. So, why then are boosters being PUSHED to combat variants? Are they withholding the “..constantly developed” batches for when the current batches are used up? Sounds like a sound business plan.
In any case, you’re right. This whole charade is not perfect. And I take a massive issue on that. 1, because we have stood our industry and livelihoods and indeed the county’s economy and personal freedoms on it’s head with a solution that hasn’t worked and most importantly 2. we’ve had to inject this crap into our bodies as many times as our employers required in order to keep working for them.
1,000,000 Americans are dead. If America had dealt with this as we did, something like 700,000 of them would still be alive. We, yes imperfectly (as is anythng) did our best under the circumstances and no doubt a lot of people are still with us as a result. Exactley who would you have been OK with dying who didn't? It DID work, every but as well as could have been hoped.
And "This crap" has been a huge part in making it work.
