I think you misunderstood Geert Vanden Boosche. He has been completely opposed to the mass vaccination program during a pandemic.
“Hence, in order for a vaccine to do beter than the natural pandemic, it would need to expedite herd immunity. However, it’s exactly the opposite what we are seeing right now: the vaccines are not able to prevent viral spread by vaccine recipients exposed to the emerging highly infectous strains. This is preventng herd immunity from developing.
Whereas at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, innate immunity in healthy people provided for a solid frst line of immune defense to Covid-19, this is no longer the case when highly infectous strains are increasingly dominatng the scene. Healthy subjects, including children, are now increasingly exposed to circulatng highly infectous strains while the quality or quantty of their antbodies is insufcient.
Why are the Covid-19 vaccines likely to enhance viral infectousness? It is because they are prophylactc vaccines – designed to build immunity in individuals before they get exposed to the pathogen/virus. They are not suitable at all for administraton to people during a pandemic because the likelihood that a vaccine recipient already comes under atack while not yet being endowed with a full-fedged immune response increases as the infectous pressure augments. This partcularly applies in case of highly infectous circulatng variants.
What happens when you get a vaccine? For an individual who has just received the frst dose of vaccine, his or her body will be in the process of building an immune response. It could take several weeks for the immune response to be fully developed and if you are exposed to the virus during this tme, your immune response may be too weak to efectvely fght the virus. Even though the frst dose may protect you from developing symptoms, the virus may stll be able to replicate and transmit. Exertng high immune pressure without preventng viral replicaton and transmission is a recipe for selectve viral immune escape.
However, what we are now more and more observing is even more worrisome: even those who got fully vaccinated before exposure to Covid-19 are no longer controlling virus replicaton and transmission. This is because they’re now increasingly infected by more infectous variants, the spike protein of which is diferent from the one comprised in the vaccine. Hence, the virus increasingly evades the vaccinal antbody response. We have already seen this in many care homes where highly infectous variants have been spreading within no tme despite large vaccine coverage rates (i.e., up to 80-90%).
The only beneft of these vaccines is that they may temporarily protect from severe disease and mortality (depending on the antgenic features of the infectng variant). Selectve immune evasion also favors further disseminaton of highly infectous strains as mass vaccinaton is now increasingly turning vaccine recipients into asymptomatc spreaders. The later transmit highly infectous virus to the unprotected or not yet infected subjects. This is exactly the opposite of what the vaccines were supposed to do. Indeed, there is now a general consensus that the vaccines will, indeed, fail to generate herd immunity. In additon, they will also fail to eliminate the steadily increasing number of highly infectous strains because the vaccinal antbodies do no longer match with the variant spike protein of the circulatng strains whereas they’re stll hampering binding of natural antbodies to the virus.”
yes. He means that those who are unvaccinated will be more likely to get the disease from the variant petri dishes (those who took the vaccine),
That is my understanding. He is opposed to the vaccine program as it will create more dangerous adaptive virus while eroding natural immunity.
At least this was my take.
