I'm sorry, but you have no idea how vaccine economics work. Why do you think that researcher had so many problems at Pfizer getting funding to work on mRNA?
Drug companies want to invent things like Viagra or Harvoni, not vaccines that are given to everyone a few times.
- delecti 5y agoHundreds of millions (or billions) of people getting annumal booster shots seems like a pretty good source of recurring revenue.
- mizzack 5y agoPfizer's CEO literally called the vaccine a "durable revenue stream" and talked about boosters through 2024 in the last earnings call.
- yazaddaruvala 5y ago> not vaccines that are given to everyone a few times I agree, and therefore Pfizer and Moderna have an incentive to claim annual boosters are needed. To get recurring revenue. I'm not sure why you feel we disagree. I was just also saying, "I'm happy to get a useless booster, as long as its safe" because the extra volume of mRNA production should drive down long term manufacturing costs.
