Pfizer CEO Predicts Vaccine-Resistant COVID-19 Variant Likely to Emerge

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said on Tuesday that, at some point in the future, a strain of COVID-19 that is resistant to vaccines is likely to emerge.

โ€œEvery time that the variant appears in the world, our scientists are getting their hands around it,โ€ Bourla told Fox News in an interview. โ€œThey are researching to see if this variant can escape the protection of our vaccine. We havenโ€™t identified any yet but we believe that it is likely that one day, one of them will emerge.โ€

This is not the first time Bourla has made the ominous prediction. He addressed the issue in a wide-ranging interview with Fortune in February, around the time when attention was increasingly turning to new mutations of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the pathogen that causes COVID-19.

Responding to a question about the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine against emerging variants, Bourla said he was โ€œquite confidentโ€ it could neutralize the new mutations and cited encouraging lab results. At the same time, he said that โ€œthe fundamental questionโ€ is how likely it is that there will eventually emerge a vaccine-resistant strain of coronavirus.

โ€œTheoretically, itโ€™s a very possible scenario. If you protect a very big part of the population, and if there is a strain that emerges that can use this pool of population to replicate while the current strains cannot, obviously this will overtake the original. So itโ€™s not a certainty, but it is now, I believe, a likely scenario,โ€ he said.

At the time, Bourla told Fortune that the mRNA technology used in the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine allows for the rapid development of a new version able to create a different immunogenicity that could cover new mutations. He predicted that such a vaccine could be developed in around two months but noted this would depend on multiple factors including the regulatory framework.
