A recent history (about three weeks) of Covid headlines goes something like this:
OMG, there’s a new variant of Covid to be afraid of.
Be ye afraid, very afraid of Omicron, but we don’t know anything about it.
Test show that the Moderna vaccine offers significantly better protection than the Pfizer.
Omicron is here and it’s spreading fast. Be ye afraid.
Omicron produces fewer hospitalizations, none or hardly any deaths, but everybody’s going to get it, be ye afraid.
Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines offer far less protection against Omicron.
Pfizer is virtually powerless to stop the spread of Omicron, be ye afraid.
This is a paraphrase: You’re going to need a lot of Pfizer because Pfizer hardly works against Omicron which is going to get everyone, everywhere; therefore, we need more Pfizer.
Pfizer Pfizer Pfizer.
This is a satirical mock-up of some headlines in a sequence that I’ve observed showing up in my news feed. You may notice a pattern: First, it’s not that big of a deal but they’re going to make it into a big deal. Second, be ye afraid. Third, mysteriously, Pfizer became the only vaccine in town according to the media headlines, when discussing the ravages of Omicron. I must believe that this reflects some behind the scenes dynamic.
What happened to Moderna vaccine that was recently widely recognized to as superior to Pfizer in it’s efficacy against Covid? It’s gone conspicuously absent in the media and likely with policy makers as well in the fight against Omicron, which is almost being treated like a new disease separate from Covid. In fact, we’re hearing the word ‘Covid’ far less.
Is there is a trade war going on, Pfizer against Moderna? The inferior vaccine against the superior vaccine as government and media promote what works demonstrably less against Omicron? This is enabling not only Covid but also a gleeful resurgence of government heavy-handedness in managing Covid, just when we thought we were getting past it. We’re observing a promotion of Pfizer at the expense of Moderna, a government sponsored trade war at the expense of your health and safety.
I realize my consumption of news headlines does not constitute a true commercial or scientific analysis, but when all of the headlines conspicuously add specific details and unanimously hide others, the trends speak for themself. After all, we now have going on 2 years of trends and track records in public statements that show us what the regime and big media are promoting. There are no surprises here, no mysteries. It doesn’t require cooking up a new conspiracy theory. The only difference now is that dissent and rebellion against the Covid regime is now becoming commonplace, particularly as the courts have begun to strike down mandates.
The commercial aspect, Pfizer versus Moderna, is new in a way. It was rumored during the development of the vaccines but minimized. It’s still in play to some extent just based on the booster business, but it now looks more like a trade war. Just what the jaded among us need.
