President Trump mentioned booster shots & Pharma money to be made, recently.

Pfizer executives caught saying they'll hike vaccine prices after stating COVID will never be leaving.

It will be "Endemic"

"The company anticipates a significant opportunity for its vaccine from a pricing perspective as we move from a pandemic situation, to an Endemic sitiation. As this shifts from pandemic to Endemic, we think there's an opportunity there for us." - - CFO & Executive BP of Global Supply of Pfizer.

How does a disease go from being acute to endemic? What factors shape the transition to endemicity?

The expectation that COVID-19 will become endemic essentially means that the pandemic will not end with the virus disappearing; instead, the optimistic view is that enough people will gain immune protection from vaccination and from natural infection such that there will be less transmission and much less COVID-19-related hospitalization and death, even as the virus continues to circulate.

What’s a likely timeline for COVID-19 to become endemic?

The expected continued circulation of SARS-CoV-2 stands in contrast with the first round of SARS in 2003 and with the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa in 2014, when public health measures ultimately stopped spread and brought both outbreaks to an end. While there are important differences among the viruses and the contexts, this comparison underscores the critical need to improve our global public health infrastructure and surveillance systems to monitor for and help respond to the inevitable next potential pandemic virus.

Since viruses spread where there are enough susceptible individuals and enough contact among them to sustain spread, it’s hard to anticipate what the timeline will be for the expected shift of COVID-19 to endemicity. It’s dependent on factors like the strength and duration of immune protection from vaccination and natural infection, our patterns of contact with one another that allow spread, and the transmissibility of the virus. So the patterns will likely differ considerably from what we saw with the other pandemics because of the heterogeneous responses to COVID-19 across the world—with some places engaging in “zero-COVID” policies, others with limited responses, and widely variable vaccine availability and uptake.

Given Biden's booster shot plan for the "Endemic", this video is very relevent in today's time.

It was never about our health.

But, you all already know that...
