Summary: The new generation of mRNA vaccines had many risks because they used a new technology, hastily tested. In addition, the choice of the spike protein as target turned out to be disastrous for side effects and adverse events, because, as was discovered later, the spike protein itself was toxic. Predictably, the virus quickly mutated its spike protein to avoid the narrowly-targeted antibodies of a vaccinated population. This is the new Omicron strain, against which the original vaccinations are almost completely ineffective. But this sad tale of errors may yet have a happy ending. The same spike protein mutations that allowed the virus to escape antibodies induced by vaccination has disarmed the virus to a large extent. The Omicron variant seems to have a mortality rate only 1/10 as high as the original Wuhan strain.
Another question. On NPR they said that the "vaccinated" are having mild cases of Omicron, and the "unvaccinated" will have more severe cases. I assume this is propaganda. Also at the CDC ACIP meeting yesterday they said hospitals are full of children, unvax, with Omicron which is why they recommend children 12 - 15 "SHOULD" not "MAY" get boosters. Someone I spoke to on the phone said he was double vaxxed and boosted which is why his Omicron was so mild. People believe it. What do you know?
Thanks for that clear explanation. It seems also that Omicron bypasses natural immunity, for the first time, which is a caveat to my claim in https://coronawise.substack.com/p/natural-immunity-denial-disorder Peter McCullough got Omicron after having the alpha variant, and my youngest, also just got Omicron after having natural immunity but also a J&J shot, due to social pressures.
2 questions for you - can you comment on why Omicron is the first to bypass natural immunity and could that be because it was engineered? Some say it is discontinuous with the natural progression of variants and closest to the strain from April 2020. and If someone has natural immunity and gets the Covid shots, does that impair their natural immunity?
