On Monday, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel spoke with Yahoo Finance’s Anjalee Khemlani at the 2022 Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit.

During the course of their discussion, Bancel admitted that COVID-19 is going to be very similar to the seasonal flu. He also suggested that persons aged 50 and older as well as those who are in vulnerable categories should consider receiving a booster shot.

Below is the transcript:

Anjalee Khemlani: Is the COVID vaccine going to be an annual COVID booster for a very long time to come or maybe for the rest of our lives? And how do you merge that with the fact that there is already low uptake of this new variant booster?

Stephane Bancel: I think it’s interesting the uptake is actually stronger than seasonal flu from data I’ve seen recently. So we have to see before the end of the season, what does it look like? It’s the first time we’re going to be more in the pandemic setting, so I think we’ll be smarter…

So it is a better update than seasonal flu shot. I think it’s going to be flu, which is again, if you’re 25 years old, you’ll need an annual booster every year. If you’re healthy, you might want it to protect other people. You might want it because you don’t want to get sick and miss work or miss vacation or so on.

But I think it’s going to be very similar to flu, where the kids will be people at high risk, people above 50 years of age, people with comorbidity, people with cancer and other conditions… And that’s really important to think about. And if you look at it around the world, that is 1.5 billion people. So it’s a lot of people that’s going to need an annual booster and people that are younger going to have to decide for themselves what they want to do.

Recently, the FDA authorized Moderna and Pfizer the updated booster shots for children as young as 5 to 11.

“The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent is authorized for administration at least two months following completion of primary or booster vaccination in children down to six years of age,” according to the news release.

Dr. Paul Offit, MD, a top vaccine expert and FDA adviser has warned last month that there is insufficient evidence to recommend the new booster shot for healthy young adults and said it could carry risks.

Dr. Offit: “When you’re asking people to get a vaccine, I think there has to be clear evidence of benefit. And we’re not going to have clinical studies, obviously, before this launches, but you’d like to have at least human data on people getting this vaccine. You see a clear and dramatic increase in neutralizing antibiotics, and then at least you have a correlate of protection against BA4, BA5. Because if you don’t have that, if there’s not clear evidence of benefit, then it’s not fair [to ask people to take a risk]. The benefits should be clear.”

Last week, Moderna officially announced it has developed a ‘cure’ for the tyrannical medical-industrial complex’s latest manufactured health crisis. In the wake of all of the cardiac-related death and sickness caused by the first iterations of the experimental mRNA vaccine, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel revealed the company’s new treatment for heart attacks – another mRNA injection! This time, however, instead of going into your arm, it will be shot directly into the heart muscle… For maximum damage effect, of course. Read more here.

US relations with Saudi Arabia are at an all-time low after Biden threatened the oil-rich nation for not complying with his demands. 

The Biden Administration continues its case study on what NOT to do in international relations.  Less than a week ago Biden was begging the Saudis to increase oil production now so that gas prices in the US would remain below the all-time highs set earlier in the year.

Unfortunately for Biden, the Saudis didn’t make any changes based on his request.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia Foreign Ministry Confirms Joe Biden Attempted to Coerce Kingdom to Cut Oil Prices Until After Midterm Election

Biden’s reaction to all of this is to threaten the Saudis.

News of the president’s latest plans for oil come he announced said he would ‘reassess’ the US’s alliance with the oil-rich Saudis for their support to Russia, a move was sure to jack up gas prices just ahead of midterm elections.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s cousin issued a violent threat against those who ‘challenge’ Saudi Arabia after Biden warned there would be ‘consequences’ for OPEC cutting oil production.

In a message aimed at ‘the West,’ Saud al-Shaalan is seen in a video saying ‘anybody who challenges the existence of this kingdom, we are all projects of jihad and martyrdom. Anybody that thinks they can threaten us.’

Al-Shaalan’s threat comes at a time of sky-high tensions between Washington and Riyadh after OPEC+ cut oil production by two million barrels per day and the Biden administration accused the Saudi Kingdom of aligning itself with Russia and Putin.

Biden claimed that Riyadh would face ‘consequences’ as aides announced the US would be reevaluating its relationship with the Saudis.

‘There’s going to be some consequences for what they’ve done with Russia,’ Biden said in a CNN interview aired last Tuesday.

‘I’m not going to get into what I’d consider and what I have in mind,’ he added. ‘But there will be – there will be consequences.’

The Kingdom then hit back with bombshell statement that the Biden administration had requested to delay the OPEC production cut until after the midterms.

The White House is now bracing for a further spike in gas prices before millions of Americans are set to cast their ballots.

The result of Biden’s actions in the Middle East has led to Saudi Arabia aligning itself with China and Russia.

Biden’s actions, like those in Afghanistan, led Saudi Arabia to review its relationship with the US and eventually align with Russia.  This is leading to the end of the ‘petrol dollar’ which will have material negative consequences for the US.

Now by threatening the Middle East nation, Biden is confirming for the Saudis their alignment with Russia and China.  What a mess.
