To me they were sold to be a “good fit” for the coronavirus, to offer some measure of protection without the two-to-ten year waiting time for a “traditional“ vaccine to “come online”.
You know as well as I do that they were sold to be a miracle cure to COVID so that we could all return to normal life. "95% effective!" was blared in the headlines, which while mathematically accurate from a relative risk reduction standpoint, was incredibly misleading, and a population made desperate by people who had overestimated the risk SARS-CoV2 posed to them by many orders of magnitude and a government who had shuttered life as we know it was more than happy to line up to be test subjects so they could regain some semblance of normalcy in their lives.
As a “proof-of-concept” they nailed it, now comes the tweaking.
If you say so.
Meanwhile, demand for COVID vaccines has absolutely cratered despite the CDC recommending everyone to get one. Clearly the CDC has lost the trust of the overwhelming majority of Americans, at least on this topic. Pfizer is suing European countries to try to force them to buy vaccines that no one wants.
Pfizer's profits are tanking. For the last 3 months, they've had to revise down their profits due to underestimating just how many people DON'T WANT the COVID vaccine any more.
Reality has a way of catching up with people, and with the mRNA vaccines, the honeymoon is well and truly over.
