Pfizer management is feeling the heat on safety, this is my take. I have seen similar situations in my company where a new and innovative product is not performing in the market and the business has to do some herculean work to get shit rectified. So, **while this is totally speculation on my part,** this is my story about what's going on here. * Pfizer made a new high tech genetic vaccine product in record time. * The product is suffering in the market place because it is inherently toxic and not particularly effective. * The product is fucking complicated - you have to control the temperature, you have to dilute it properly, at some point you have to throw out unused product, and you have to rely on thousands and thousands of other people's employees to implement these complicated processes with high quality. Impossible. McDonald's can't do this with french fries - you will not be able to do this with 30,000 different county health departments and this product. * The product is made to delivered through IM (intramuscular) injection. * The product has been administered in the US through pop-up mass injection clinics and pharmacies. * The mass injection program has been administering the vax IV (intraveinous) or combination IM/IV sometimes because when you prick someone's shoulder you don't know if you've gone through or into a vein without checking, and the instructions just say "IM," and do not say, "make damn sure it's IM before you push the plunger, nigger." * Now gobs of people are fucked up because of poor administration and the stuff doesn't work so great. They are taking matters into their own hands. They are defending their reputation and their product by showing everybody what happens when you do it right: * They are going to take great care storing and handling the vaccine correctly themselves * They are going to dilute the product for final use correctly themselves * They are going to aspirate the injection to make sure they are not IV before they do and IM injection I think that there is a good chance that they will demonstrate superior results, especially when they are making sure to not inject that shit into the blood stream. The safety performance of the vaccine is likely to be measurably better. The results will probably more consistent with careful dilution for final use. I'll go out on a limb and say that these people will get the best experience with Pfizer vaccine you can have. Hell, it may even work better against covid if it stays in your shoulder like it is supposed to. Once they have these results they will have some important information: * You can't blame us if you didn't follow the instructions and got shitty results. * You can't blame us if you didn't follow the instructions and fucked up your patients. * See, it's much safer than what people are saying. * The product performs pretty well when you do it right. If they are taking the long view they do this to keep the product viable for boosters and continued administration. If they are taking the short view they feel like they need to cover their asses. However, in both cases it would appear to me that they are losing popular support and they feel like people and health care agencies will not continue to choose this product.
