Fact-checks = shill-liars.

By definition the fact-checkers are paid.

There are no transparent charitable honest fact-checkers, and if there were, they'd be discredited, called misinformation conspiracy theorists, and never be cited by the corrupt establishment.

That fact-check has gotten a wide airing. I'd be surprised if people on here weren't familiar with what it said before you chose to put it here.

Their argument is that because Bourla was talking about Omicron, that doesn't mean the shots don't work for Covid. Okay. So the shots work for alpha and beta. Hm. How many alpha and beta cases are there now? Oh, yeah. None. Because the virus mutates, the successful mutants become dominant, and the ancestral origins of the virus become meaningless.

Omicron is the current successful form of the virus. It is outcompeting the other strains. Omicron will be the strain from which future strains are derived. If you're not controlling Omicron - which IS what Bourla said - then you will have no control over the future of covid.

This fact check is a trivial misdirection. The meaning of what Bourla said fits exactly the interpretation that this fact-check desperately wishes it didn't.
