Predatory...

 



Pharma giant Pfizer 

has begun pitching for a booster shot of the coronavirus vaccine saying the efficacy of its two-shot regimen declines after six months. 


But in an implicit rebuke of the pushiness with which a third dose is being proposed, US agencies are saying a determination on this is yet to be made, science will dictate the process, and for now, a booster shot is not called for. 


Pharma giants evoke deep suspicion among skeptics who feel they are predatory and opportunistic, and will use the pandemic to boost their profits. The coronavirus vaccine is expected to net Pfizer $ 26 billion in 2021 even at its current pricing of $ 19.50 a shot, and company executives have suggested the price ought to be much higher.


Some experts are arguing that two doses do the job quite effectively and a third dose may never be needed.  


Do the children needs a vaccine or that is part of the predatory and opportunistic practice of Pfizer?  Just a thought.
