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.

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.

Well, I mean, you're saying that these drug companies are going to make a lot less money. Well, obviously, that's going to have a downstream impact in the willingness to fund new drugs, new investment, new R&D.

And so I'm hopeful that this will actually provide a more effective market force in allowing the biggest customer in the market to negotiate prices and that the VCs, instead of making 48% IRR, they'll ultimately make 28% IRR on the investments that they're making in biotech startups.

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.

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.

The only thing that seems to work is vaccines and booster shots. There's some good data around the third data, the third booster preventing serious cases.

I think that the combination of vaccines and what is equivalently Tamiflu for COVID, which is effectively what this is, is the one-two punch we need so that this basically is rendered.

there's one other piece of news that came out that I think is very positive on COVID, which is the availability of these oral antivirals, the pills. ... So I think that, you know, with the reduced effectiveness of vaccine, what we're going to have to do is supplement the vaccines and the boosters with home testing.

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.
