its two parts for a vaccine

stimulating the immune response is only one part

disrupting the transmission of the virus is the second part

it does nothing to prevent someone from infecting someone with covid

look they have admitted that it doesn’t stop people transmitting covid, they have admitted it - why do you not undersrand what they are admitting?

“it does nothing to prevent someone from infecting someone with covid”

Actually, it probably does. Part of why the COIVD panic was unjustified was that COVID is NOT transmitted asymptomatically. It can, in theory, but the best studies I’ve seen indicate no more than 1% of all transmission comes from asymptomatic people. Probably more like 0.5%.

A vaccine which reduces symptoms will almost certainly reduce transmission. And here is another dirty secret: COVID doesn’t transmit very easily. I’m now know 4 couples where one spouse caught it, and then quarantined in the same house with their spouse without the other spouse catching anything. While sharing a bed!

A study came out indicating that was normal - that only 10% of spouses caught it from the other spouse during quarantine.

You are banging away at a false narrative. Israel has demonstrated disruption in transmission. Even accepting your statements you are incorrect.

Why are you so desperate to have this fail? It is an amazing breakthrough and is the logical evolution of 100’years of immunology.

I didn’t ask what they said, I asked a biology question. Why didn’t you answer it?
