Science Third shot may be needed to combat new coronavirus variants, Bill Gates says - Only Ambrosia can prevent Gray Death

A third dose of coronavirus vaccine may be needed to prevent serious cases of new variants of the disease, Bill Gates said Tuesday. The billionaire philanthropist's comments come amid to the growing concern that current vaccines are less effective against the South African and Brazilian variants.

"The discussion now is do we just need to get a super high coverage of the current vaccine, or do we need a third dose that's just the same, or do we need a modified vaccine?" Gates told "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell.

"All five of the companies that have U.S. vaccines are looking at making that modification and adding that in so that people who've already had two shots might need to get a third shot," he said. "I think it's reasonably likely that we will have a tuned vaccine just to make absolutely sure that as these variants hit the U.S. that they're not escaping from vaccine protection."

Gates is funding studies in South Africa to determine whether the AstraZeneca,Johnson & Johnson and Novavax vaccines were as effective against the more contagious variant.

"AstraZeneca in particular has a challenge with the variant. And the other two, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax, are slightly less effective, but still effective enough that we absolutely should get them out as fast as we can while we study this idea of tuning the vaccine," Gates said.

If the coronavirus is not eradicated, he said, additional shots may be necessary in the future. "Probably not yearly, but as long as it's out there, we want as many Americans as possible not to be spreading it to each other," he said.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration,told CBS News' "Face the Nation" on February 7 that he believed the vaccines currently being distributed in the U.S. would offer "reasonable protection" against the new variants, even if they are less effective against the new strains. Still, he said, it may also be necessary to administer booster shots in the fall.

Those are yearly doses. My polio doses were all skipped one year from each other. But this one you have to take two shots after just some weeks?

Polio doses are usually a couple months between doses, I guess there could be some skipping. HepA needs to have both within a year. With the current vaccine, they do a couple weeks instead of a couple months for speed reasons, to get people vaccinated as fast as possible.

Why does Bill Gates’ opinion matter at all? You don’t see anyone asking John Carmack how he’d cure cancer.

That's because John Carmack, sociopath that he is, would be able to cure cancer.

 

[WeeGee]

I already got sore from one Moderna jab, fuck getting a third jab.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

I wish Bill Gates would just go away.

With a battle axe. If it's a good enough solution for saving a trapped John Romero, it's good enough for eradicating cancer.

Why should I take medical advice from the tech billionaire, again?

 

[Mr. Bung]

For the responsible individual three vaccines would be no problem, but to get everyone to due this will be fucking impossible, plain and simple.

 

[NoSpiceLife]

'challenge' 'less effective' = absolutely should get them out as fast as we can

Weird, SA are wanting to return all of the Astra vaccines, because they DON'T WORK against their variant.

 

[RandomTwitterGuy]

Well i don't mind. If it can protect me better then i support and i am all for getting the morons to freak out about it. Makes it easier to weed them out.

I fully believe we should be allowed to discriminate against anti-vaxers

 

[Slimy Time]

Gonna need a third shot for those pesky variants. What's that, you want to go outside? You need to have your fourth shot to do that. Want to kiss grandma, you are going to need to prove you have taken your fifth shot before you can do that. Hear that? That's the sound of you getting your sixth shot. Wanna have sex with your girlfriend, seventh shot for sex. Need that eighth shot to go back and earn some money...

This shit will never fucking end with these people.

Technocracy is just Revenge of the Nerds on a society-wide scale. The chicken-necked nellies have developed god complexes, and all of that stems from a desire to get back at the jocks who gave them wedgies in junior high.

 

[Hammerstein]

Someone needs to stuff the nerd with the God complex back in the locker where he belongs.

We should send him back to the locker... in a body bag.

John Carmack is the sociopath all sociopaths should look up too

only 3 shots? just fire at him till the weapon melts. just use one of the "vintage" "MG3", those shot even more bullets in less time.

 

[Titos]

Only 3 shots? I typically do about 8 by noon on a more conservative day.

 

[Bec]

Just wear a mask.
Just get the shot.
Just wear 2 masks.
Just get another shot.
Just get a third shot.

>he only wears two masks.

 

[Otterly]

Just wear a mask.
Just get the shot.
Just wear 2 masks.
Just get another shot.
Just get a third shot.

On the bright side, when you’re wearing 361287 masks, they can’t get the needle through

For science to work, you have to doubt it.

Beautifully put, and totally correct.

Even worse, Archdemon Blair has been weighing in on it as well in the British press. Unfortunately for him, the average Brit considers anything out of his mouth to be pure poison.

First it was lockdown for two weeks
Then it was lockdown for 3 months
Then it was just wear a mask
Then it was lockdown for 3 more months
Then it was just vote out Trump
Then it was lockdown for 6 more months
Then it was just get the shot
Then it was just get another shot
Then it was just get an anal swab
Then it was just wear a second mask
Then it was it's too late to actually do anything

But if we just get a THIRD shot we can beat this virus guise! FOLLOW. THE. SCIENCE!

Something something retraction of rights and freedoms. Something something frog in a boiling pot.
