    The chief executive of the biotechnology group behind the first Covid-19 vaccine has said a new formulation is likely to be needed by the middle of next year to protect against the virus as it mutates.

    Ugur Sahin, chief executive of BioNTech, told the Financial Times that as time passes, mutations will emerge that can evade the body’s immune defences. “This year [a different vaccine] is completely unneeded. But by mid next year, it could be a different situation,” he predicted.

    A partnership between the German biotech and US pharmaceutical company Pfizer brought the first Covid-19 vaccine to market. It was also the first vaccine based on mRNA technology to win regulatory approval, and has been the world’s best-selling drug this year.

    In an interview with the FT, Sahin said the Covid-19 variants currently in circulation, particularly the Delta strain, were more contagious but not different enough to undermine the effectiveness of current vaccines.

    Booster shots seem able to tackle the main variants, Sahin said. But the virus will eventually develop mutations that can escape the immune response bestowed by the vaccine, he said, necessitating a “tailored” version to specifically target the new strain.

    Ah yes back in the 70s I needed to get a flu shot every year to keep my job at the gas station or else I could risk killing some elderly person by transmitting a disease. Stay safe!

    I got my flu shot for this year about 3 weeks ago, the band aid the pharmacy technician put on had a smiley face with a thumbs up on it. It made me feel special and that I was saving lives.

    would be all good and well if it was treated like the flu vaccine and society/the economy weren't restructured around it

    All viruses evolve to evade immunity, that's why we have around a zillion cold and flu viruses going around instead of just one of each.

    Guys this is just corporatocracy, fuck democracy and voting. I say we allow multinational corporations to run a global no borders society and our historical culture becomes eroded by brand loyalty and marketing

    Sherri J. Tenpenny is an American anti-vaccination activist who supports the disproven hypothesis that vaccines cause autism.


    That's a legit source then.

    He said returned not taken...though as I demonstrated that's not true either as the US recently returned power to the Taliban.

    Not true.

    The Taliban took power back by scaring the Afghan government to run and hide.

    Do you know the definition of returned?

    Abandoning something KNOWING the previous owners will take possession = effectively returning it.

    forcefully returned is still returned.

    the difference between returned and taken is ownership.

    That doesn't make sense Vincent

    If something is returned to the previous owner...or something it taken back by the previous owner...the resulting ownership is the same.
