No misquotes from me. I'm very careful to present anything I put forward honestly and free of misinformation.
At the end of December 21, Omicron accounted for more than 90% of community cases in the UK (that's more than 9 out of every 10 cases) and that percentage will no doubt be even bigger now and will keep growing until another variant displaces it. That's how every newly dominant variant has gone thus far.
So no misquote. When the Pfizer CEO said 2 jabs now offer "very limited if any protection" that basically currently refers to "Covid in general" in the UK.
IMO the government narrative throughout has been to over inflate the threat posed by the virus while over inflating the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine. Obviously this is a personal opinion.
But you will never find me misquoting anything. I can assure you of that.
Out of interest have you been 'vaccinated'? If so how many jabs so far?
I am not sure what relevance you are drawing by mentioning the end of December 21, why is it relevant to what he said that omnicron made up 90% of covid cases?
Infact you are actually arguing against your own case by presenting that information, heres why
1) If (as you state) omnicron made up 90% of all new cases then that in itself shows that vaccines against the other variants were working, so why would he say they weren't?
2) If (as you state) omnicron was the dominant variant by the 21st of December then it makes it even more conceivable that in ANY conversation where covid stats are being discussed (and no specific variant is mentioned) that the latest and most dominant variant is at the centre of the conversation.
Number 2 isnt so relevant here though as he clearly states what variant he is talking about....on video.
i appreciate you not taking my post as confrontational and i respect that you may want to be "very careful to present anything I put forward honestly and free of misinformation" however the only way one could mistake what the Pfizer CEO was talking about was if either
1) you didn't watch the video
2) You don't understand english
3) you don't understand how a conversation flows
I don't think any of the above apply to you so i can only assume you are hearing what you want to hear.
I would direct your attention towards these articles
This one discusses the same interview you and i are talking about and they recognised what he said as being specifically about 'omnicron'
Bourla said the two-dose vaccine has lost its protective power against infection and its ability to prevent hospitalization has also dropped.

then there is this, another talk he gave where the message was the same
Pfizer Inc Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Monday that moving toward a redesigned COVID-19 vaccine that is specifically targeted to combat the Omicron variant of the coronavirus is the "most likely scenario."

Here he is on the 2nd of December BEFORE the omnicron variant was discovered explaining how effective the vaccines were
In an exclusive interview, Dr Albert Bourla says jabs have saved millions of lives.

To think that between 2nd December 2021 and 11th January 2022 (the date of the interview) he would go from "our vaccines have saved millions of lives" to "our vaccines dont work" is a ridiculous position to take.
You are simply wrong here mate.
I have had 1 jab and only just recently got it, i am booked up to go abroad next year with the family so couldnt get around it.
I am not anti vax or pro vax, i take medication and was unsure how it would react with the vaccine so i put it off as long as i could, in the end i had no ill effects thats not to say however that the second or third (or how ever many they deem i need to get into their country) wont interact with my current medicine.
