rsvman2 This may also surprise you, but vaccines are by no means big money makers for pharmaceutical companies.
Yes, if we were dealing with a traditional vaccine (single application), but if a need is created for a product that is required 1 or 2X/year on an indefinite basis, and you're trying to convince everyone on the planet to get it, I think you have a moneymaker, don't you?
In case you forgot too, this was always the plan, because it was always known that multiple doses would be needed. If you recall, in early 2021, Israel was ordering close to 40 million doses (presumably for the next 1-2 two years) after they had already vaccinated the majority of their population. Remember the deal they had with Pfizer, trading research for jabs? A few months later, Israel is ordering 40 million doses for their 10 million population based on the real-time data. If you were paying attention back then, you would have known that it wouldn't stop at 2 shots.
Of course, just using common sense and knowing how coronavirus' typically work, its not surprising we need ongoing boosters. As I have said from day 1, it was hard to imagine the covid jab being anymore successful than the flu jab based on this fact.
