LOL, Moderna's surprise quarterly profit plunged 97% per share amid collapsing vaccine demand, comes from Covid shot revenue deferred from 2022, first quarter sales tank 69%, CNBC says 30%
CNBC, here:
Moderna on Thursday blew past estimates for first-quarter earnings and revenue, posting a surprise quarterly profit, despite lower demand for Covid vaccines, its only marketable product.
The biotech company generated first-quarter sales of $1.9 billion, driven by Covid shot revenue deferred from 2022. That’s down more than 30% from the $6.1 billion it recorded in the same period a year ago amid a resurgence of Covid cases.
Moderna posted net income of $79 million, or 19 cents per share, for the quarter. That’s compared with $3.66 billion in net income, or $8.58 per share, reported during the same quarter last year.
Seeking Alpha got it right, noting the inventory write-downs of "excess and obsolete COVID-19 products" nobody wants:
I'll just put this here for the record in the event CNBC later corrects their reporting without saying so:

The Feds always bury the bad info in Friday afternoon data dumps when no one is paying attention
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday said it is “very unlikely” the Pfizer omicron booster carries a risk of stroke for seniors after it launched an investigation into a preliminary safety concern detected by one of its monitoring systems.
The CDC, in a statement posted to its website Friday, said a surveillance system called the Vaccine Safety Datalink detected a possible risk for stroke in people ages 65 and older who received the Pfizer booster shot targeting the omicron Covid variant. A CDC spokesperson said this issue was first detected in late November.
By mid-December, the CDC concluded the concern was persisting and launched an investigation into whether seniors are more likely to have a stroke in the first 21 days after receiving the Pfizer booster, the spokesperson said. A similar preliminary signal was not detected for Moderna’s booster.
The VSD monitoring system found that 130 people ages 65 and older had a stroke within 21 days of receiving the Pfizer omicron booster among about 550,000 seniors who received the shot, the CDC spokesperson said. No deaths have been reported. The Washington Post earlier reported the news. ...
The agency spokesperson said investigators hope to have a clearer picture and more data in the coming weeks.
Story here.
Again, notice the limited scope "within 21 days".
Hey, if I don't get sick within 90 days of reception the jab worked, right?
And if I don't have a stroke within 21 days of reception, no problem, right?
Right?
The people have been voting on this with their feet.
From the peak in April 2021, the vaccine uptake rate in the US has collapsed from 1.06% to 0.04%, or over 96%.
The current rate annualized would mean just 48.5 million Americans per year will get a jab, about 14.6% of the 332 million population.
Meanwhile, France, 80.6% of which has received at least one dose of a vaccine to date, ranks 37th to date for deaths per million at 2438.
Germany, 77.8% of which has received at least one dose of a vaccine, ranks 50th at 1975.
The United States, 80.9% of which has received at least one dose of a vaccine, ranks 12th WORST in the world at 3439.
Vaccine coverage doesn't seem obviously correlated with outcomes.

Despite FDA approval of mRNA COVID vaccines, you still can't sue the pharmaceutical companies, and the only government program adjudicating cases is hopelessly overwhelmed
This story is outrageous.
The bastards.
You are already completely out of luck if you received a jab more than one year ago and haven't filed a claim for an injury.
Some excerpts, but make sure to read the whole thing.
Reuters (June 16, 2022):
Part of the Health Resources and Services Administration, the CICP was designed to be “the payer of last resort” for people who suffered injuries from treatments or “countermeasures” related to “a declared pandemic, epidemic or security threat” like Ebola or anthrax. Payouts are limited to unreimbursed medical expenses and up to $50,000 a year in lost wages, with no provisions for pain and suffering or legal fees. A death benefit of $370,376 is also available.
The CICP is the only option under current law for people seeking damages for COVID-19 vaccine-related injuries.
Per a declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, the federal government indemnified the vaccine makers, which are not party to CICP proceedings. A Pfizer spokesman declined comment. Media representatives from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson did not respond to requests for comment.
Until March 2020, the CICP attracted little attention, deciding fewer than 500 cases in its entire history. It’s now drowning in a 16-fold spike in claims, with more than 5,400 COVID-19 vaccine injury cases pending. Another 2,990 allege injuries or death from other COVID-19 countermeasures, such as being placed on a ventilator. ... At the current rate of adjudication – 18 cases a month, by my calculation – it will take 38 years to get through the backlog. That’s not much help for claimants who are unable to work or pay rent right now. ...
Without exception, the CICP requires claims to be filed within one year of vaccination.

The CDC is no longer saying, as it did in June, that mRNA from the vaccines lasts in the body only "a few days", and that the spike proteins last only "a few weeks"
Here's the screenshot from the "Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines" page as of June 16th:
As of July 15th, the facts have changed!
There's no "few days" language anymore, and no "few weeks" language either. Instead at the bottom of the page there's a link off-site to this page, which talks about how long the mRNA and the spike protein last in monkeys and mice, but not in YOU.
After all this time the CDC has no human data?
I'd be upset if I were you. They've been claiming for more than a year that the mRNA and the spike proteins are gone from the human body within days and weeks. They're not claiming that anymore.
The CDC is sweeping this under the rug hoping you won't notice, announcing, as it is, the new guidance.
Why do excess deaths in the US consistently outnumber pandemic deaths?
In 2020 the difference was a whopping 118,000.
In 2021, when vaccination got into high gear, the difference was way down, but still high at about 36,000. That's at least equivalent to a whole year of influenza deaths.
Many skeptics are convinced the vaccines have something to do with this, and the CDC's deletion of "facts" from the fact box above isn't going to help convince them otherwise.

The mRNA vaccines are dangerous to the human heart at ANY AGE and should be banned immediately
Abstract 10712: Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning:
Our group has been using the PULS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) a clinically validated measurement of multiple protein biomarkers which generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
The score is based on changes from the norm of multiple protein biomarkers including IL-16, a proinflammatory cytokine, soluble Fas, an inducer of apoptosis, and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF)which serves as a marker for chemotaxis of T-cells into epithelium and cardiac tissue, among other markers.
Elevation above the norm increases the PULS score, while decreases below the norm lowers the PULS score.
The score has been measured every 3-6 months in our patient population for 8 years.
Recently, with the advent of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines (vac) by Moderna and Pfizer, dramatic changes in the PULS score became apparent in most patients.
This report summarizes those results.
A total of 566 pts, aged 28 to 97, M:F ratio 1:1 seen in a preventive cardiology practice had a new PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2nd COVID shot and was compared to the previous PULS score drawn 3 to 5 months previously pre- shot.
Baseline IL-16 increased from 35=/-20 above the norm to 82 =/- 75 above the norm post-vac; sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46=/-24 above the norm post-vac; HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post-vac.
These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk.
At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac.
We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.

Israeli study of 1.3 million shows mRNA vaccine effectiveness wanes in 4-6 months in the same way for everyone regardless of age: So you're going to jab 5 year olds every six months?
The insanity of this ought to be plain.
A jab every 6 months means 145 shots throughout an average lifespan of 78 years.
And have fun at Thanksgiving thinking your vaccinations through May still protect you and your loved ones this November.
You might as well be Nick Chevotarevich.

LOL Canada, which was 60% fully jabbed by the beginning of August, got creamed by Delta anyway
The ratio of Pfizer to Moderna administered in Canada is currently 3.5:1.
Canada disproves Eric Topol's alarms about Delta. He calls Delta so formidable and hyper-contagious that 90-95% vaccine coverage is required.
At a level far less than that, however, Delta came, and more importantly went, in Canada, as if the vaccines made not the slightest bit of difference.
Virus gonna virus.

Denmark suspends use of Moderna for those 18 and under
Sweden has suspended the use of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine for under 30s following reports of rare side effects, while Denmark has said it will no longer offer the shot to under 18s. ...
Denmark’s health agency also blamed concerns over myocarditis for its decision to suspend the use of the Moderna vaccine for people under 18 years.
In April it became the first European country to cease using the AstraZeneca vaccine over concerns about rare cases of blood clots.
More.
Sweden suspends use of Moderna in ages 30 and under
Swedish health authorities on Wednesday suspended the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for those ages 30 and under, saying the move was done out of precaution.
The reason for the pausing is “signals of an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium” — the double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the main vessels, Sweden’s Public Health Agency said in a statement. “The risk of being affected is very small.” ...
U.S. and European regulators caution, however, that both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines appear linked to a rare reaction in teenagers and young adults — chest pain and heart inflammation. ...
New preliminary Nordic analyzes indicate that the connection is especially clear when it comes to Moderna’s vaccine, especially after the second dose, the agency said. ...
The Swedish agency said the vaccine from Pfizer is recommended for these age groups instead.

LOL, to Moderna vaccine failure leading to breakthrough cases just means you'll have to get a booster $hot
ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching
Delta variant will lead to increase in breakthrough Covid infections among vaccinated, Moderna says
The highly contagious delta variant will lead to an increase in breakthrough infections among the fully vaccinated as people begin moving indoors after the summer, Moderna said Thursday.
While Moderna’s two-dose vaccine remains “durable” six months after the second shot, immunity against the coronavirus will continue to wane and eventually diminish vaccine efficacy, the company said in slides that accompanied its second-quarter earnings report.
The company said its vaccine is 93% effective six months after the second dose. By comparison, Pfizer and BioNTech said their vaccine efficacy declined to around 84% after six months.
“Given this intersection, we believe dose 3 booster will likely be necessary prior to the winter season,” Moderna wrote.

You idiots who attend the Vaccine Church have just helped mint 9 new pharma-billionaires
Pandemic sweeps the nation.
Fascist America under Trump mobilizes pharmaceutical industry to rush vaccines into development, investing billions of dollars in the efforts.
Industry resurrects a discredited drug delivery mechanism and calls it a vaccine. Smelling $$$, it prepares for mass vaccination but doesn't run trials proportionate to that effort, and then cuts off the placebo arm prematurely, making a complete hash of it.
Government gives Emergency Use Authorization, not FDA Approval, to permit these corporations to experiment on the US population during an "emergency".
The corporations, and the government, are exempted from liability.
A fearful population whipped into a hysteria by propaganda paid for with borrowed dollars lines up like sheep to take the vaccine under a new administration but the same old fascism.
Presto! 9 new billionaires:
The 9 new vaccine billionaires, in order of their net worth are:
- Stéphane Bancel, Moderna’s CEO (worth $4.3 billion)
- Ugur Sahin, CEO and co-founder of BioNTech (worth $4 billion)
- Timothy Springer, an immunologist and founding investor of Moderna (worth $2.2bn)
- Noubar Afeyan, Moderna’s Chairman (worth $1.9 billion)
- Juan Lopez-Belmonte, Chairman of ROVI, a company with a deal to manufacture and package the Moderna vaccine (worth $1.8 billion)
- Robert Langer, a scientist and founding investor in Moderna (worth $1.6 billion)
- Zhu Tao, co-founder and chief scientific officer at CanSino Biologics (worth $1.3 billion)
- Qiu Dongxu, co-founder and senior vice president at CanSino Biologics (worth $1.2)
- Mao Huihua, also co-founder and senior vice president at CanSino Biologics (worth $1 billion)

For now, the Pfizer vaccine appears to be the one to get, if you've got the choice, because the coronavirus is mutating
The new Novavax vaccine is just 49% effective vs. the new South Africa coronavirus strain B.1.351 which emerged last October and was just reported in two cases in South Carolina.
Johnson & Johnson's new vaccine is just 57% effective against it.
Moderna says its vaccine is "far less effective against the South Africa strain".
Pfizer's vaccine appears to be the most robust of them all, "only slightly less effective against the South Africa variant compared with the others."
