Moderna is claiming that a third booster shot will be needed by winter in order to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The pharmaceutical giant talked about their “emerging perspective” in a series of slides showing the boosters that they have already prepared for such a situation.
“We believe that increased force of infection, resulting from Delta, non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) fatigue, and seasonal effects (moving indoors) will lead to an increase of breakthrough infections in vaccinated people,” Moderna stated in their presentation, essentially admitting how their vaccines have failed at preventing the spread of COVID-19.
However, Moderna has a solution for their own failures: more shots. They want a booster shot given to people during the winter months, preferably manufactured by Moderna, of course.
