It’s almost as if letting the virus virus results in better herd immunity than the delta-dodging frankenshots.

They knew this in spring 2020 because I heard them talk about it. So why didnt they use those harmless coronaviruses to make the vaccine? Seems logical.

So are they admitting the shutdowns were a mistake because they suppressed herd immunity?

At the start of the Covid epidemic there were two variants, the S and the L variant. One was very dangerous and the other was highly infectious but comparatively benign with mild cold symptoms. Almost as if the safer variant was an inoculation for the more dangerous version. Why we did not isolate the benign strain and use it as an inoculation against the more dangerous and deadly strain is perplexing. We potentially had the solution to the pandemic within our grasp from the very start FWIW, the lock downs actually prevented the spread of the more benign strain which could have conferred a good measure of immunity.

You mean the common-sense immunology that most people practiced prior to March 2020 still works in the case of WuFlu? Who’da guessed it?

[D_Idaho]

That there is what they used to call a “vaccination.”

Makes me wonder about cross-reactivity issues with testing...
