Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday said the omicron variant of the virus that causes Covid-19 appears to be milder than previous strains, but also seems to spread faster and could lead to more mutations in the future.
“I don’t think it’s good news to have something that spreads fast,” Bourla told The Wall Street Journal during an interview at the paper’s CEO Council Summit. “Spreads fast means it will be in billions of people and another mutation may come. You don’t want that.”

White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said reports over the weekend from South Africa suggest omicron is not as severe as initially feared, while noting that more data is needed to fully assess the risk posed by the variant.
The South African Medical Research Council, in a report released Saturday, said most patients admitted to a hospital in Pretoria who had Covid didn’t need supplemental oxygen. The report also noted that many patients were admitted for other medical reasons and were then found to have Covid.

I have been trying to figure out how I get it and my brother the dentist, hasn't. So I called him. He bought two hepa filtration devices for the rooms he sees patients in that draw the air away from him. 
All of his employees are vaccinated, not necessarily by choice. 
The furnace is old and could not handle a thick hepa filter, so, he closed off the cold air returns.
He wears an N95 and surgical mask throughout the workday. And they clean surfaces.
I live in a rural area where we have 59.5% vaccination rate for people over age 12. Those in this county who are not vaccinated in general are unlikely to vaccinate unless disaster strikes their family.

Pfizer vaccine: Two doses may not provide sufficient protection against Omicron coronavirus variant - CNN

Preliminary lab studies show two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine may not provide sufficient protection against the Omicron coronavirus variant, but three doses are able to neutralize it, the companies said in a news release on Wednesday.

Pfizer stock price has lagged the S&P 500 since this started, J&J has lagged a LOT, so they need more conspiracy notions.

Moderna stock has surged, and guess which two I own?

Pfizer and J&J are far more diversified companies, of course.

Yup, they are much larger.  PFE has increased in stock price over the past couple of months by a but, before that they were a clear laggard.

I bought their stock for a stable dividend in effect.  A lot of my portfolio is companies with solid dividends that tend to increase.  That tactic may have to evolve if inflation hits harder than it already is, but bonds are even worse.

And so this is a compelling argument for them not trying to scratch out additional revenue by any means necessary.... how exactly?
