PFIZER CEO: ‘Covid Jab Offers Limited Protection, If Any’ Against Infection

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla recently did an interview with CNBCin which he stated that two doses of the Covid-19 inoculation gave “very limited protection if any,” before claiming that three doses with a booster offer reasonable protection against hospitalization, but still barely protect against infection.

“The two doses, they’re not enough for omicron,” Bourla said. “The third dose of the current vaccine is providing quite good protection against deaths, and decent protection against hospitalizations.”

CNBC also reported that data out of the United Kingdom demonstrated that two doses of Pfizer’s or Moderna’s shots, which is to say the full inoculation regimen, are only about 10% effective at preventing infection from omicron about 20 weeks after the second dose. In other words, the shot is virtually useless in regards to preventing infection less than half a year after receiving it.
