Not until I extract certain information from him.
BeauBo looks to be well, and now posting graphs too!
Excuse me, sir. But it occurs to me that may have been a grudge ping.
You have been warned about the grudge ping.

don’t grudge me, bro
I’m over qualified.
“doing so causes the virus to adapt and mutate”
The last guy to sell that theory was named Lysenko.
“do those with natural immunity also “carry 251 times the Covid viral load” as those who have not previously been infected or been vaccinated?“
There you go.
Asking sensible questions that might challenge someone’s predetermined narrative !
The first guy to sell it was named Charles Darwin.

Modern information theory as encoded in DNA creates issues for Darwin. But Darwin had no knowledge of genetics or of information theory so he had an excuse.
However there’s little excuse today for arguing that a vaccine is able to alter the parent virus’s genetic code except choosing to be ignorant about how genetic change happens.
The absence of new strains of polio and smallpox should have caught the eye of those making the argument that vaccines themselves are the cause of new strains. And that doesn’t even require a working knowledge of genetics.
You don't have to be Charles Darwin to understand ALL life forms adapt to survive. Even you.
Imagine if you were a Dodger fan going to a Dodger/Giant game in San Francisco? Would you wear your Dodger gear and cheer like you would at Dodger stadium? Or worse. A Chief's fan at an Oakland Raider's game?
That's what I thought.
Its my layman's understanding that the flu shot is different every year. Why?
I also understand that too many anti-biotics spoil the broth, and the germs 'learn'.
I think you're off base on this one, Pelham.
And I'm just some guy. A very pretty guy, but just a guy nonetheless.
Food for thought:
(excerpt)
Just as natural selection has shaped the evolution of humans, plants, and all living things on the planet, natural selection shapes viruses, too. Though viruses aren’t technically living – they need a host organism in order to reproduce – they are subject to evolutionary pressures.
The human immune system uses a number of tactics to fight pathogens. The pathogen’s job is to evade the immune system, create more copies of itself, and spread to other hosts. Characteristics that help a virus do its job tend to be kept from one generation to another. Characteristics that make it difficult for the virus to spread to another host tend to be lost.
Take, for example, a virus that has a mutation that makes it particularly deadly to its human host and kills the host within a few hours of infection. The virus needs a new, healthy host for its descendents to survive. If it kills its host before the host infects others, that mutation will disappear.
