Vaccinate or not

"The Atlantic can’t help but flout it’s home spun amazing technicolor shit coat of perverted ideology paraded as fact, even as it attempts to rationalise its own reckless stupidity.

“We didn’t dare look for fear of being blinded by Trump’s toxic racism and xenophobia!”

Nothing they say beyond those words bares being heard."

reckless stupidity indeed

it's these wastes of oxygen that have become 'dangerous' and 'problematic', orders of magnitude more than any language they police...

.

Pity my lab leak thread turned into a shit show and got closed, more relevant than ever now..

Yeah Fauci has taken every different stance on every aspect it's crazy.

"@indo , you could start another thread , this shit show isn’t going anywhere for awhile , biden has given them 90 days to come up with some answers about origin"

this 90 day thing from biden is so funny, he literally made this announcement just hours after CNN ran a story criticising him for shutting down an investigation that was already running, an investigation that wasn't getting the results he wanted... you've really gotta wonder how much thought when into his little desperate 90 day investigation, I'm guessing it was about 15 minutes, and was totally reactive to the CNN story and developing shitstorm...

can't wait to see what china has on biden... though we've probably seen most of it on the dark corners of the net... be classic if it goes mainstream...

I actually think the conservatives going hard after faucci are a bit pathetic... yeh he's a liar, and complicit as fuck, and should go down... but he was in a difficult role, where there's always a public and private narrative, and conservatives are playing way too much gotcha reading too much into his emails...

their never ending libertarian ideological mask argument is tedious to say the least

the real villian is that peter daszak cunt, and the scientists that mislead the public supporting him, which includes faucci... but...

and the media... if they aren't intentional villians, then they are complicit through gross incompetence beyond belief, and ideological patheticness that made them totally ineffective in their roles, the compliance and conformity, the whole mass deception achieved, is totally beyond belief...

how can no one in the liberal media have not raised the glaring conflict of interest of some of these dog scientists?

how can so many scientists have not raised it sooner?

the whole peer reviewed journal system is now in tatters

the corruption of process at every level and institution is out of this world

the science community think they had public confidence problem before... (they did) ...well it's all looking rather justified now... the climate change debate is just about cooked now, good luck pushing any contentious science issue at all in the near future, the ramifications of this are going to be huge!

and the real hero? ...is the chinese translator trailblazer dude that doggedly kept pushing along... must be a white supremecist...

and all that is before we even know the conclusive truth...

and, it seems zerohedge may have been right on the money all along...

oh the irony!

from the vanity fair article re. biological weapons...

"...inside the WIV, military and civilian researchers are “doing animal research in the same fricking space.”

Maybe the Russians are behind it all...

Been following this thread for a while and thanks to all with their views and the links provided.Like everyone I want this shit to end.I've done 2 quarantines,14 days in Perth and recently 5 days in Jakarta and I don't want to do it again.I am a natural cynic and not trusting of any government or authority and it pains me to say , but I will take vaccine soon if it means a return to freedom of movement for all.Sitting in quarantine is fucked ,to put it mildly.Spoken to plenty here ,Indonesian and Bule that have had 2 jabs no worries they reckon.Love ya work Supafreak , great comments and links.

Got the 1st Pfizer vaccine shot on Saturday morning (mid-40s, QLD).

No side-effects at all.

It was very easy to organise: just book a time-slot at https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/health-alerts/coronavirus-covid....

If getting vaccinated will go a long way towards opening up international travel and enabling life to go back to normal, then I think everyone should unhook from the mess online and just get vaccinated.

I'd do anything to go overseas again.

It's time for this bullshit to end and for the world to move on.

You on Scomo's marketing team gsco? Of all of that garbage, your last line was the only thing that made sense (in isolation).

'if getting vaccinated...'. WTF. Come on show us your airline ticket then...? Exactly, you getting vaccinated means Scomo is getting closer to hitting his numbers and you are now an on-going source of health cost to the community and income to big pharma. Well done!!

In your defence, you have done what you are told by excessive propaganda and coercion by govt, big corporations, celebrities and the media, so its easy to get swept up in the hype.

Good luck.

The counter argument to anyone on here thinking that the vaccine will get you travelling again is the simple fact that airline travel at ~30,000 feet puts you at a higher risk of blood clotting. And what is a major risk form the vaccine....? Blood clotting... So now compound the two...??

So do you really think airline travel is looking better or worse for you if you take the jab?

There's been 1 death from COVID Jan-May and 210 deaths from the vaccines with 22,031 reported adverse reactions in Australia... Sure they'll tell you whoever died had underlying health issues but they did their best to keep that bit quiet when is ppl supposedly dying from COVID had underlying health problems.

I'm getting the jab because I'm a risk taker, baby.

No other reason, just wanna get my jollies.

@shortenism

I've basically had every vaccine under the sun due to many surf trips to third world countries over couple of decades, so another vaccination for a variant of the common cold (of which covid is just another new strain of) makes no difference to me.

I went for a (longboard) wave Saturday afternoon, Sunday and this morning...

I don't see what the big deal is.

I also don't see what all this has to do with Scomo.

I think there is a very good chance that if the overwhelming majority of the world's population is vaccinated, then all of this madness and hysteria will blow over and life will largely return to normal, including international travel. I'm not sure how you could disagree with that.

You said:
> you are now an on-going source of health cost to the community
I don't see what you're talking about here.

You also said:
> and income to big pharma
I work in finance and part of that involves assessing company profitability. If you look at Pfizer's share price, you might find it surprising that it hasn't done anything out of the ordinary of late. The reason for this is that margins on vaccines for these companies are very fine - vaccines are not very (if at all) profitable for them...

You also said:
> And what is a major risk form the vaccine....? Blood clotting...
Are you sure you're not getting mixed up between the AstraZeneca (which has a risk of clotting) and Pfizer vaccines (which I had and seems quite safe).

@gsco, I've had a few myself but non, which are in experimental phases especially for a variant of a common cold as you put it.

On balance, the risk outweighs the benefit. Or pls show me otherwise?

Unless of course you seek international travel so bad and having it is genuinely going to give you this exclusive benefit and the benefit for you outweighs the risk. I can't see the benefit resulting myself. Any plane tickets yet?

Being in finance, you'll appreciate the term 'loss leader'. Being an on-going cost to the community is about your on-going boosters and potentially problems, which you (and anyone else) may or may not be aware of. Once you are on the big pharma wheel, its hard to get off as solving one problem typically leads to many others. Seen gramps's pill container lately.. Its like a tackle box.

One can only assume for example that the airlines will want to know you are vaccinated now equally for risk management. Will you also be required to show evidence you've had some kind of thinning agent to fly? A good question for your GP perhaps.

Pfizer has also had clotting issues. 'Seems safe' doesn't cut it under the circumstances.

You seem balls deep in the world of full blown conspiracy theory stuff mate

Laughing is OK now.

Hiccups are blinding pain.

The Pfizer vaccines aren’t profitable?

Sure.....the most widely prescribed and in demand product in the world isn’t making them any money. Lol.

https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/features/pfizer-covid-19-vacci...

Pfizer share price bottomed out in early Covid panic at about $27. It’s now sitting around $40. That around a 45 percent increase in a bit longer than a year. Remind me again which financial institution you work for so I can avoid it like a blood clot.

Don't sneeze.

Remember when Rodney Rude’s grandfather went to the Doctor and told him that every time he sneezed he had an orgasm?

The Doctor asked what he was taking for it.

“Black pepper” said Grandpa Rude.

blowin - the ultimate twister of facts...

> Pfizer share price bottomed out in early Covid panic at about $27. It’s now sitting around $40. That around a 45 percent increase in a bit longer than a year.
Might want to compare this to the broader market's performance mate... S&P500 went from 2300 to 4230 for a return of 84%...

And the article is talking about revenue not profits, and indeed says:

"When comparing the success of leading Covid-19 vaccine makers, it’s important to note that while Pfizer and BioNTech are providing their jabs at profit, not all companies are. The Pfizer-BioNTech jab is priced at $39 for two doses, whereas AstraZeneca, which is supplying vaccines on a not-for-profit basis, charges between $4.30 and $10 for both shots."

so they're even being given as "charity" at a loss... These vaccines are actually barely profitable. Might want to actually read some financial statements on that one mate...

"On balance, the risk outweighs the benefit."
Shortenism I'd love to see your risk assessment skills once this virus becomes endemic and arrives at a destination near you.

@gsco, which parts are conspiracy theories?

Ah the fear @garyg...

No, bloke. If you read your own quote it states that the Pfizer jab is at profit, irrespective of whatever AZ is doing. That’s PROFIT bloke.

In a similar vein it doesn’t matter a tinker’s cuss what the S and P is doing in relation to Pfizer. The S and P is an aggregate, an average of all companies. It has zero bearing or relevancy to the prospects of individual companies. There’s plenty of companies which have gone belly up since the Covid panic. Pfizer, on the other hand, is up 45 percent in that time.

Face it bloke, you’re talking dung and trying to disguise it by heaping on more dung.

Pfizer is making lots of money off the vaccine. That is the fact.

Keep assessing bloke. You’ll get there one day.

the irony in conspiracy nuts using "fear" as a sledge when classic personality traits of conspiracy nuts is the fear of loss of control and an inability to handle fear in itself is amusing to me.

Maybe I need to spell it out a bit clearer…

Pfizer’s share performance has badly lagged the market average over the period, indicating that the company has done nothing special profit-wise relative to other companies.

If you look into it you’ll see that the profit Pfizer makes from the covid vaccine is nothing to write home about, and this is reflected in its lagging share price performance relative to the overall market.

Pfizer is not making a lot of money (profit) from the vaccine nor is it expected to going forwards (if it was its share price would have spiked relative to the market).

Some companies are even providing vaccines at no profit at all.

The “big pharm profit” conspiracy theory argument has no leg to stand on…

Indeed, due to the nature of my work, when there started to be talk of a Pfizer vaccine I had a lot of people come and ask me if they should invest in Pfizer. My response was I'm not sure because there typically isn't a lot of profit in vaccines like this.

Then I've had a lot of people come to me asking why Pfizer's share price didn't go crazy since its vaccine has basically been the one that has "won out" over the others. My response was the same: there isn't a relatively large amount of profit in these vaccines...

And I was watching an investment podcast thing the other night a few weeks ago where the guests speakers were discussing the same thing.

No, you spelled out your opinion clearly. It’s wrong is all.

It's good to read that a few people here have already had the jab, kind of gives you some hope.

(btw none of the above is to be constituted as investment advice. I have no opinion about whether to invest in Pfizer or not.)

Ah gsco, I wouldn't waste your breath mate. Nuance is irrelevant, figures should be cherry picked and the prevailing economic conditions ignored. All shall be sacrificed for the narrative!

Nice article supafreak, thanks for the link. I think your question is a bit general to answer meaningfully. I like the article's quote:

"Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca both vowed to sell their vaccines on a nonprofit basis during the pandemic. Moderna, which has never made a profit and has no other products on the market, decided to sell its vaccine at a profit.

Unlike Moderna’s vaccine, Pfizer’s shot is not crucial to the company’s bottom line."

That enough nuance for you JQ?

Or you love a pile on? Just a hyena who’ll slink back into the shadows now it seems the prey isn’t going to fall from its wounds.

Interesting comment about the Pfizer covid vaccine pricing and margins in the Pfizer earnings call linked from one on the above articles:

"Let me talk about kind of how the current margins work, and then I'll pivot to how they can work going forward. So in terms of the current margins, I always start with, we're in a pandemic pricing environment. So the one price that we published is the price with the U.S. of $19.50 per dose. Obviously, that's not a normal price like we typically get for a vaccine, $150, $175 per dose. So pandemic pricing."

So they are significantly underpricing the vaccine per unit compared to normal times and it seems that a "high 20s" margin is relatively tight in this context...

No big pharma conspiracy that I can see...

Seems like they're also providing somewhat of a charity to the world.
