I was going to call it “marketing.”
I am amazed to see people discuss what are essentially the marketing claims of a corrupt industry as if they had scientific validity.
Substitute the word “immunity” with “blockchain” or “Artificial Intelligence” and maybe more people would see through it.
- eagsalazar2 5y agoIt isn't just pharma companies saying the booster is needed. Your framing seems willfully misleading.
- chiefalchemist 5y agoAgreed. Came right from the CEO. What else was he suppposed to say? "Skip the booster, it barely helps."? Imagine the public panic, as well as the stock market panic.
- chiefalchemist 5y agoDear Down voters...Communication 101...source matters...context matters...motive matters. These are facts. Just because someone says X - and you agree - doesn't make it legitimate. Blind confirmation bias is not going to help us.

Timeliness matters a lot when you have doubling times measured in days, even 2-3 months and it could be too late. Finally, it reduces people's natural hesitancy about side effects of the "new vaccine".
