Only Seven Million Americans Have Received Updated Covid Vaccines
Pfizer cuts earnings outlook on lower covid drug sales.
As we are entering cold and flu season, I thought it might be worthwhile to check how popular the latest covid vaccine is.
The press has been keen to report seven million as the number of Americans who have currently received the updated booster.
More than 7 million Americans have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine since it was approved one month ago, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) signed off on the Pfizer and Moderna shots Sept. 11, and distribution was allowed to begin after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended them Sept. 12.
While parents and pediatricians said they’re having problems finding available doses, HHS said 14 million vaccines have shipped to pharmacies and other locations.
However, its declining popularity is being noted by some outlets.
This year’s uptake of the updated Covid-19 vaccine appears to be somewhat slower than last year’s, according to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More than 7 million Americans have received a dose of the latest vaccines, HHS said Thursday. …
In comparison, when last year’s bivalent Covid-19 booster was available, more than 18 million people had received a dose by October 12, 2022, about six weeks after the CDC signed off on it, according to CDC data. By May, about 56.5 million people had received that booster, representing about 17% of the US population.
The new Covid-19 vaccines have been updated to target currently circulating coronavirus variants.
Given these numbers, there should be little surprise Big Pharma profits have taken a hit on both news related to the vaccine and treatments developed specifically for battling covid infections.
The US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer sharply scaled back its earnings outlook for the year, blaming lower-than-expected sales of two drugs used to treat Covid-19, the company said Friday.
It now “anticipates full-year 2023 revenues to be in the range of $58.0 to $61.0 billion, versus its previous guidance range of $67.0 to $70.0 billion,” Pfizer announced in a statement.
Earnings per share – the benchmark for the markets – should come in at between 1.45 and 1.65 dollars, compared with 3.25 to 3.45 dollars previously anticipated.
The cut to Pfizer’s guidance was “solely due to its COVID products,” the company said.
“Full-year 2023 revenues for Paxlovid and Comirnaty are expected to be approximately $12.5 billion, a decline of $9.0 billion versus original expectations,” it added.

Two dweebs walking around Target wearing N95 masks this morning. I wanted to ask why, but gave them wide berth instead.
Stay away from crazy. They have nothing to say worth listening to. Just lost minutes of your life.
Only 7 million have dared to take the vax this time around. More than that have dared to drink the Pro-Palestinian kool-aid which is far more hazardous to your health.
Covid is just another flu. The clot shot is deadly though.
I’ll bet those 7 million are heavily concentrated in big blue cities and in retirement homes in blue states where the residents have no choice.
Why would someone take an experimental vaccine update that has not been tested on humans? People have woken up to the nonsense of the government hysteria.
Probably the same group of people that still walk around with masks.
Did they ever think that a lot of their customer base has died or been severely injured from the vaccines and boosters they’ve already taken?
so 7 million of my country men still have a mental illness and trusts
1. their DR.
2. the govt.
sad
but it is good that it is that low.
All the people who I know who got the initial vaccine have indicated that they were done with continuing with the charade. I get the feeling that there are millions of Americans who are in the same boat and have also moved on.
TY Leslie… I cannot help but feel that my family dodged a bullet.
That guy on the Five, Harold Ford Jr, came right out and admitted he had five or six(?) shots,, and Covid three times.
Most people I know now are avoiding it. Bless and keep us all.
Harold Ford Jr. is a Democrat. And just as his father Jr. was a Democrat member of the House*. So it’s hardly surprising that he would have taken the shots. And it is even less surprising that he had the Wuhan Flu multiple times.
* However Jr. didn’t make Congress a career, his daddy did with more than 20 years in the House.
The fact that Pfizer and Moderna have jacked up the prices for worthless drugs with serious side effects might have something to do with the lack of interest.
and taxpayers are still paying for this?
Of course. Except I think you meant overpaying.
I think it’s free to those who already get their health care for free, but those with insurance can get it
And everybody pays the extra cost to buy their insurance
The mortality and morbidity attendant on those who took the earlier vaccine, plus the mendacity and outright lies from the government and medical establishment makes taking any new vaccine, untested in humans as noted above, something rationally to be avoided.
The prime risk if the population does not take the vaccine is a) another round of “natural” COVID or b) the release by the government of a lab tailored version of COVID with the goal of restricting Americans. In either case, if you feel threatened and feel the new vaccines are safe and trust what the government and medical establishment say; then you can take the vaccine. The question is whether after the last few years, do you trust those offering a COVID vaccine again?

“the mendacity and outright lies from the government and medical establishment”
That’s it, right there. The covid fraud destroyed beyond redemption any credibility that either the government or the medical establishment had remaining. I avoided the original fake vaccine and all the subsequent fake boosters. I have also determined to avoid the medical establishment until after I am safely dead. I no longer trust so called “doctors” to apply a band-aid to a paper cut, nevermind treat anything more serious.
Fake Vax free m6yself, glad many see the light.
And as said, ythose 7M are the ones still wearing masks and will the rest of their lives.
The 2023 National Idiot Test has been administered, and the idiots identified.
At some point a court is going to rule for the obvious fact that the immunity agreements the Pfizer and Moderna and the other made with the federal government are null and void due to criminal fraud on both sides and then those companies are going to be sued out of existence. It will be one of the only times that companies being sued into extinction over their products will be justified and right. And there need to be criminal trials waiting for all those invovled, too. THey lied about the drugs (which are NOT vaccines, to start with), they lied about the tests, they lied about everything … and, worst of all, they all colluded to force people to take part in the largest, most irresponsible medical experiment ever run on the planet. Even with the FDA approval, the drug that was approved was not available in America and they were forcing people with mandates to take unapproved drugs – even though the “FDA approval”, itself, was a sick political joke that had nothing to do with medical science and sound health policies.
There has really never been anything like what they did with those mRNA drugs and the related Johnson and Johnson drug (that just uses an adenovirus for spike protein instruction insertion) and forcing so many people to take them when they all knew that NO ONE had any clue what the short or long term effects were going to be. They did not even have an inkling of the possible side effects.
The “vaccine” mandate (and coercion) was one of the worst crimes in human history.
I’ve seen reports on local news (Seattle) programs indicating that the demand for the new vaccines is causing shortages. It sounded like an effort to convince people “everyone else is doing it.” so they’d jump off the cliff too.
Seattle media outlets make Pravda seem honest and objective.
“The new Covid-19 vaccines have been updated to target currently circulating coronavirus variants.”
In other words, a flu shot.
I see my Dr tomorrow and I know he’ll ask me about a flu and pneumonia shot. I’m already a bit compromised, so I’ve gotten them in the past.
But after learning more in recent months , I’m skeptical now.
He already knows how I feel about the Clot Shot.
Why does the public want to be guinea pigs for big pharma’s vaccines? They have not been tested as all other drugs have been and Pfizer admitted that they did not seek harmful reaction reports to their untested vaccine during the early stages of its use. This is criminal and should be treated as such.
I suspect that those who may have thought to use Covid as an opportunity to beta test public willingness to accept lock downs, behavioral mandates and extremely intrusive govt actions and restrictions on Constitutional rights have shot their wad.
Other than these 7 million idiots, relatively few in a Nation of 335 million+, most everyone else understands they were lied to and manipulated. Some of us never falling for the hype, others who bought in depending on which politician was telling them to do it and IMO only a relative few who bought it hook line and sinker.
