The reason why they are off so much is because of a massive drop in demand for PaxLavit and for COVID boosters. Apparently, people do not see the value in those products. ... I would say that the company is also suffering from a credibility crisis by not leveling with the public about the efficacy and safety of their vaccines.

Why can't we have an authentic postmortem about the efficacy of the Covid vaccine without being shamed?

We were injected with an experimental mRNA treatment because we got hoodwinked by the media into thinking it would prevent us from ever getting Covid, which it did not do. Two months later, I got Delta variant.

But we ran something through and we allowed it to be labeled a word that misappropriates what it is. It's not a vaccine. And the problem with that is that it now makes people mistrust the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. That's crazy. You shouldn't mistrust the MMR vaccine or DTaP. But because those things are lumped in with the same thing as a Covid vaccine that is at best 30 or 40 percent efficacious, we have these problems.

Now, I don't know if he was right about those vaccines, but I do know that he's right in the case of COVID. They had an incentive to push this dubious mRNA shot on us so that we get boosted a zillion times.

I'm not getting boosted again, no.

because of all this, it probably is reasonable to take a step back and have a commission that just uncovers all of this stuff

You know, you start to question. I think we will start to see people question whether those are appropriate.

one of the costs of this policy is going to be that people will stop trusting vaccination in general

You've now got the unvaccinated treated as some sort of untouchable class of citizens who aren't able to leave their house except to buy food and medicine. ... Boston just announced they're banning unvaccinated people from going to all restaurants, bars, nightclubs, sport arenas, fitness centers, movie theaters and on and on it goes.

But it's certainly the case that this is not a one strain, one shot and done pandemic. This is an endemic circumstance. We're going to be in this for a while.

the little stupid vax card that you have to show everywhere to get like popcorn at a movie theater like, you know, in San Francisco. It doesn't do anything because vaccinated people can spread it too. So that doesn't do anything.

It'll be a seasonal disease and it'll be something like the flu in terms of how it cycles each year. And it seems unlikely that it's going to be eradicated through vaccination.

I mean, if you're going to mandate, if you're going to mandate vaccines for workplaces and mandate vaccines for schools, you know, the NBA is going to, you know, not be kind of excluded here. It's what it is.

I have another crazy statement here, which is that if you take the the case fatality rate of COVID, and now you think about the fact that there's going to be call it 60% of America that's vaccinated, and then every six months we'll be getting boosters.

if you put a different RNA strain, RNA sequence into your body, which Moderna and Pfizer have slightly different sequences, you end up creating different antibodies and having more diversity of antibodies can kind of provide greater immunity. So it's almost certain we're going to get boosters and that we're going to end up seeing them hit the market next month.

I'm going to put another marker out there, by the way, because like, you know, there may be something like this in New York. I think most cities will have to have them. ... So I think that there's going to be these biological patriot acts, unfortunately. And then the second thing that I'll say is that I do think that it will get litigated to the Supreme Court. And I think that narrowly, what will come down is that businesses will be able to decide.
