Pfizer to vaccinate entire city in Brazil as part of study.
NY Times, Oct 10, 2021

In the southwestern Brazilian city of Toledo, you won’t find much vaccine skepticism. About 98 percent eligible residents there have received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine, according to municipal officials.

Most received the vaccine offered by Pfizer, and this week the drug maker said that presented an opportunity: Pfizer announced that it would fully vaccinate everyone in the city over the age of 12 so it can carry out a study of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.

The company will work with local health officials, a hospital, a university and Brazil’s national vaccination program to monitor the transmission of the coronavirus in a “real-life scenario” after the whole population has been vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech serum, Pfizer said.

The study will follow participants for up to one year to investigate how long vaccine protection lasts against Covid-19 and new virus variants.

So how is Pfizer's study going in the entire United States?

Israel already did that test.

And failed.

They need to determine the proper dose for maximum lethality

My take?

(1) I think the Vax does protect those like myself who might have age and pre-existing conditions from a bad hospital outcome.  It all should be like for everyone else.....   Weigh the risks versus benefits.  If I was 30, and as healthy as I was at 30?  Hell no, on the Vax.
(2) Do I think that the Vax protects me from getting it?  Hell No!!!  Breakthrough cases have gone through the roof.  We were lied to, on that account.
(3) Vaccinating every single person age 0-100 in an entire city?  Brazil must have weak tort laws.

Actually, what's most interesting about this report is that the NYTimes is reporting it positively.  One might expect a left-leaning publication to decry the exploitation of a population in the developing world by "Big Pharma", but no, not this time. 
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
