Don’t vaccines use sterile virus cells to prod the immune system to produce antibodies?
The next generation after the initial infection is missing the binding sites to allow that generation to infect new cells. It should disintegrate after a few weeks to a few months in the body. The spike proteins from the "mules" look just like the ones from the real virus and should provoke long-term immune responses to the real virus.
Quite a different approach than what a conventional vaccine does. A lot of "should" in there.
What could possibly go wrong? Well, we will find out over the next year.
My best guess is that the COVID-21 version will be mutated enough to evade the immunity response to the COVID-19 "vaccine". This will turn out to be like the seasonal flu virus, which requires a new vaccine every year and is only about 20%-30% effective.
My worst guess is that an "unexpected" combination of factors will turn the vaccinated patients into rabid mutant Zombies and we will be looking at a "World-War-Z" scenario. (I know; maybe I should stop reading all those science fiction novels.)
I think I will wait until we see the results from the first million volunteers before I sign up.
Not here. The caccines use parts of virus particles and specific mRNA sequences to teach our immune systems to react quickly to an infection.
