By Pfizer, BioNTech Pushing New ‘All Variants’ Covid Vaccine
(by 21st Century Wire) – It’s become the world’s greatest open-ended corporate snake oil campaign.
A shiny new marketing term from our friends at Big Pharma: “adapted shots.”
Rather than undertake any long-term safety studies, bought-and-paid-for government regulators will just wave them through under the old guise of ‘safe and effective.’

As per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), vaccine makers do not need to submit updated clinical trial data for the BA.4/BA.5 adapted shots. The agency will instead approve the modified vaccines using clinical data from the BA.1 vaccine trials. This will allow the updated vaccines to be approved quicker. However, the European Medicines Agency has said it doesn’t intend to follow the path of its American counterpart and will instead require vaccine makers to submit clinical data for each of the new updated shots… Read Full Article at Forbes >
