Even Travis Kelce’s shuckin’ and grinnin’ for Pfizer can’t save these shots. People know they don’t stop infection, they know the side effects are often brutal, and they don’t want them.
RIP, mRNA.
The once-heralded vaccine biotechnology officially died last week after a long illness. Maybe myocarditis or Type 1 diabetes. Could have been a shingles infection. Or possibly just a mix of uselessness and nasty side effects.
Dr. Mandy Cohen, the director of the Centers for Disease Control, accidentally announced mRNA’s passing on Friday on X (aka Twitter). Wearing a blue dress and her trademark vapid smile, Dr. Cohen admitted barely 1 out of 50 Americans have received the new mRNA Omicron booster.
Hours later, Pfizer confirmed the death, saying it will write off nearly $1 billion in mRNA jab inventory because of weak demand. Pfizer expects the market for shots to be one-third smaller than it predicted just weeks ago – though its new estimate still appears too high.
Okay, mRNAs aren’t actually dead. But even as the CDC and vaccine manufacturers to promote the new booster with massive ad campaigns, demand has collapsed. And Wall Street has noticed.
Since the announcements Friday, shares in Moderna – which unlike Pfizer has no other products and relies only on mRNA Covid shots for revenue – have fallen almost 15 percent. Amazingly, Moderna is now off 80 percent from its peak in summer 2021 (its highest weekly close ever came Sept. 10, 2021, one day after President Biden announced Covid jab workplace mandates).
Even more amazingly, Moderna and Pfizer now trade lower than they did in November 2020, before the companies announced clinical trial results that seemed to show the jabs worked near-perfectly against Covid. Since then, the two companies have sharply underperformed the stock market as a whole.
It’s as if the trials never happened.

(Destroying inventory, plunging share prices, and Travis Kelce shilling for a vaccine he wouldn’t even be allowed to get in most other countries: TWO THINGS AT ONCE! Oh, wait, that’s three.)

On a conference call to discuss Monday morning, Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chairman and the World’s Favorite Veterinarian (TM), knew just who to blame for the shortfall in demand: anti-vaxxers.
“We are experiencing a peak of anti-vaccination rhetoric,” Bourla told investors. (Full disclosure: Bourla is a defendant in Berenson v. Biden, my federal lawsuit over the conspiracy to violate my First Amendment rights and ban me from Twitter in 2021.)
On the call, Bourla predicted about one in six Americans, or 55 million people, would take this year’s booster during the 2023-24 vaccination season. Less than a month ago – after the rollout had begun – Pfizer predicted the figure would be about one in four, or 82 million.
Put another way, Pfizer has cut its estimates for demand for the shots by one-third in a matter of weeks.
But even the new 55 million figure may be too high. It equals the number of the “bivalent” boosters given during the 2022/23 jab season – and Bourla told an analyst that Pfizer is simply assuming “the people that did it this year will continue doing it next year.”
Unfortunately for Pfizer and Moderna, that assumption so far is holding up about as well as the real-world protection the jabs provide. Politico reported yesterday that about 8 million shots had been administered this fall, compared to about 14 million bivalents at the same time last year. If demand continues at the same pace, that would translate into about 30 million shots this year – less than 10 percent of Americans.
And even that figure may be too high, because demand for the boosters has been front-loaded, so the gap may only widen over time. Further, Pfizer – which said Friday it plans to cut $3.5 billion in costs to help shore up profits – will likely pull much of its advertising and marketing for the shots soon if demand doesn’t pick up.

Of course, Moderna and other companies will not stop trying to use mRNA biotechnology to try to develop vaccines. Moderna already has an mRNA jab for flu in late-stage trials.
But demand for existing flu shots, which are based on older and far simpler and more tested technology than the mRNAs, has remained strong and will far outpace the Covid jabs this year.
In other words, people aren’t rejecting the idea of an annual booster for a respiratory virus, they are rejecting the mRNAs specifically – because of side effects, lack of efficacy, or both. It is hard to think of another product – any other product – where public opinion has shifted so dramatically and quickly as the mRNA jabs. In two years, people have gone from begging for them to avoiding them.
So it’s equally hard to see how the mRNAs can ever compete directly with the older-style flu shots (or any vaccines based on more proven technology), much less get a premium price from insurer or patients.
Investors have clearly reached this conclusion, which is why they’re fleeing Moderna (and BioNTech, which supplies Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine).
Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
Actually it wasn’t.

Bankrupt and liquidate Pfizer, Biontech, J&J and Moderna. Bankrupt their Board members and executives. Criminal charges across the board.
By the way, has Mr. MAGA weighed in on this news? Why are Americans rejecting him and his vaccine that saved 100 million lives?
Worldwide, it was probably more like 500 – 600 million lives saved.
Goebbels was right! If you’re going to lie, lie BIG.
i say hanging is too good for the lot of them. they should be drawn quartered then shot from a cannon. no remains should be left of them. their clear and present danger to humanity poses and existential threat to all who breath. they have deployed a military grade bio weapon upon humanity. and yet they walk free and still draw breath.
their captivity of the judicial systems legislative systems and executive system ensure this will be the norm until its pitchforks and torches all around the globe. we are halfway there over palastine and that genocide in plain sight supported by the captive select in govts across the globe.
All of the folks, governments, businesses, and institutions who and which advocated for lock-downs, compulsory injections (Jab or Job ) and vaxxine passports need to be required to stay up-to-date with all boosters. Supersaturate them for better protection.
Fuck Albert Boorla, Bancel , the farma companies and FJB
Don’t forget the 1500 New Zealand government workers who were exempted! Let us check everyone in the government making more than $100,000 to make sure they have the vaxx markers in their blood and not just the virus. If no trace of the vaxx, give them the full course and boosters.
there is no virus
No one is safe unless everyone is safe!
My headache won’t go away unless you take an aspirin.
Warren,
It took me a minute but –good one!
I’ll get sun burned if you don’t use sunscreen.
…..and hang Pfauci
This round of death shots maybe over but Big Pharma has learned plenty about brainwashing the cattle for the next round. I predict the coming narrative shift will involve Big Pharma offering cures for their previous death vaxx that will be heralded by Congress as “heroic action”.
They were all rapidly developing ivermectin mimics which they will patent and charge 100X what ivermectin costs. Of course, Ivermectin was a horse dewormer, but its mimics will be ‘saviours of human health’.
You clearly understand how Big Pharma works!
“Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chairman and the World’s Favorite Veterinarian (TM), knew just who to blame for the shortfall in demand: anti-vaxxers.”
You’re welcome.
Bourla and his tribe consider us goyim as cattle. Who better than a vet to lead the cull?
Odd.
Up here they say they just can’t get enough of the vaccine.

Long-term care facilities in New Hampshire are reporting that they’re having difficulties getting enough of the new COVID-19 vaccine for their residents.
Dueling narratives, it would appear.
Shameless. They’re trying to empty the nursing homes more quickly, by lying to dupes.
That’s propaganda. I heard the same thing around here, too. It’s Bee Ess with a capital B.
Yup “People are clamoring for the vaccine so much that they can’t keep up with demand. “
“Buy now while supplies remain available.”
Free shipping – if you call in the next 3o minutes.
Kelce, perfect example of a pompous and moronic attention whore, didn’t even have enough sense to know public sentiment after years of deaths and vaccine damage, then doubles down on the “Mr Pfizer” dig from Rodgers, what a tool.
I’d laugh my ass off if he drops dead from a heart attack.

Or AIDS. He’s a Moe so…
He didn’t get the real thing.
Nothing can sway an imbecile from taking a vaccine . Especially if the state and federal government and Trump the right wing’s version of Jesus Christ says take the clot shots , and the little Nazi Fox News medical correspondent tell the imbeciles to take the Bill Gates of Hell Depopulation shots..
Schadenfreude for sure. It may be tainted but it’s still joy.
Best inadvertant quote-
“Here we find nursing homes engaged in the sort of ‘Hunger Games,’ where they’re fending for themselves and trying to obtain vaccine supply,” said Brendan Williams, the president of the New Hampshire Health Care Association.
It sure is like the Hunger Games. Government forcing people against their will to engage in a game of life or death.
That’s one way to try and save Social Security. Can’t collect if you are dead by booster.
but you can still vote

The value has already been harvested. “Investors” chasing stonks are not party to the actual transfer of wealth and associated powers.
As for that faggot football manlet, his shilling for the stroke poke is rather interesting timing given that he is also a central figure in the combined multi-media campaign with that crooning dead-eyed whore.
The whole clown media is so burned through that they can’t even produce organic relationships among the characters. The have to resort to hiring mercenaries to fake relationships in awkward scripted cross-promotional productions that are equal parts uncanny and cringe.
In the good old days these guys had to shill for Gillette and most would end up selling used cars anyhow. These days the idiocracy mandates a complete TacoBell consolidation even though the wealth from their little games is a thousand-fold their dedicated fans.
Pretty sure that Kelce didn’t get two or five hot shots so we won’t get the satisfaction of him giving some palsy interview about his little clotty predicament. But we can hope he got paid in stonk.
Stroke poke, that’s a good one.
Sadly, my son-in-law is signing up. I had strongly recommended to daughter and s.i.l. to not take the shot in late ’20. Regime media has so successfully indoctrinated them that I was cut off until recently. S.i.l is now looking for a medical job to pay for the college bills. I found out that they both had the Johnson and Johnson shot and reacted badly to it. And then have had two years of weird medical issues. When I enquired of s.i.l. about taking the vaxx for the new job, my daughter told me that they thought that the risk was worth the reward.
Your headline should be correct! And the fact that it isn’t is going to break a lot more hearts than just the vaxxed. Can we start talking about the Tribunals! It is clearly established that the whole Vaxx was a fraud, time to require accountability! Maybe we can save somebody.
Yes, my oft stated position is that people who believe in the state and believe in the media, and believe in the tech billionaires, and believe in the medical/insurance/regulatory regime to look out for their best interests shoukd be vaxxed to death. I kept my mouth shut, both about my disappointment and the above. You may now open the two minutes of hate.
People who believe in all that stuff are who goes to Costco. Easily identifiable by the paper Costco leaf bags they use. I’m trying to find leaf bags that say “Jews will not replace us”.
what is a leaf bag?
No hate here Trumpter,
I told and begged my “kids” (31, 26) not to get the f**king things but they bought the propaganda. They both got at least jabs 2 each.
Now one has had endless medical problems with tachycardia and gastric problems.
No, they don’t, but if the Government keeps buying them, that’s your tax dollars they are wasting/stealing, isn’t it?
State-funded scams don’t need consent of the people, the politicians get huge kickbacks, Moderna and Pfizer get huge cheques in the post, the US taxpayers get screwed.
Yes, not getting vaccinated again minimises the damage coming your way. But it doesn’t stop the financial heist one little bit.
Hooray. Moderna and Pfizer hit new yearly lows today. I never could stand big pharma. Making profits off of others misery is the way of Satanists.
They made $ billions barely 2 years ago so I think they will muddle thru. They are probably shorting their stock to play the downside gain. Clever schemers these ((( u know who’s))) are.
55 million or 30 million or 8 million–that’s still a lot of death and injury. And yes, many will still be voting, but we won’t have to listen to them shrilling anymore.
My understanding about the entire Covid ‘Vaccines and boosters is that it was and still is a BioWarfare attack on every poor sap that fell for the BS .
For every one person it may have helped yet un proven 5 are sick disabled or dead
Wow can’t wait for the long term effects like cancer rates , heart ailments and strokes all rapidly increasing.
Now we have the population reduction wet dream WAR , That will thin the heard , tell everybody it’s for the children and Gods on our side.
That works wonders 🖕
Everybody here should take a bow to the applause for being the ones who steadfastly told everybody what shit the “vaccines” were and how deadly they are.
TBP rocks!!
Travis would’ve made a lot more money if he and Taylor did a dance video.
At least the non MRNA flu shots just gave you the flu, they didn’t kill you!
People don’t like lying mass murderers and generally
don’t like doing business with them after the mass murder.
