Unvaccinated people are 'variant factories,' infectious diseases expert says
Time ^ | 7/3/2021 | Maggie Fox, CNN

Posted on 07/03/2021 9:35:00 PM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

Unvaccinated people do more than merely risk their own health. They're also a risk to everyone if they become infected with coronavirus, infectious disease specialists say. That's because the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person. "Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN Friday.

"The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities for the virus to multiply," Schaffner said.

When it does, it mutates, and it could throw off a variant mutation that is even more serious down the road."

All viruses mutate, and while the coronavirus is not particularly mutation-prone, it does change and evolve. Most of the changes mean nothing to the virus, and some can weaken it. But sometimes, a virus develops a random mutation that gives it an advantage -- better transmissibility, for instance, or more efficient replication, or an ability to infect a great diversity of hosts.

Viruses with an advantage will outcompete other viruses, and will eventually make up the majority of virus particles infecting someone. If that infected person passes the virus to someone else, they'll be passing along the mutant version.

people who use the nearly meaningless term “virtue signaling” are virtue signaling.

Nice virtue signal.

Does me pointing out that you just virtue signalled mean I'm virtue signalling?

These errant Spike Proteins may be due to a production glitch, like what happened when the Polio vaccine was first given. I am sure the vaccine producers know what is happening and are working to tighten us their processes. Progress rarely comes without problems. The Space Shuttle is a good example.

Well, aren't you an adorable little vax pimp.

*head pat*

Your idealized description does not happen in the real world. The lipid carrier is observed in all organs of the body within 15 minutes of injection. The engineered mRNA uses redundant codons with GC substitutes for the wildcard positions. This causes more aggressive synthesis on the ribosomes. There are two prolines inserted on the engineered spike protein that prevent the geometry snap to cell fusion after attachment to ACE2. The consequence is significantly more antigenic surface exposure. The spike proteins appear in the brain having been generated after the lipid envelope permitted passing the blood-brain barrier. The S1 subunit is easily cleaved and misfolds into a prion. It’s a $#!+ show writ large with millions of victims.

Are vaccination centers injury and death factories?

We’ve been told that when the offices are fully re-opened, unvaccinated and those that do not wish to share their vax status must wear masks and distance .

Vaccinated have no restrictions. Department meetings are full of people that are questioning why employees are not being forced to get vaccinated.

Bagster is right.

You don’t know why as indicated by your use of the word *may*, and your confidence in the goodness and benevolence of big pharma indicates a level of either gross naïveté or outright deceit that is staggering in either case.

But hey, what’s a little collateral damage among friends? A few lives lost and people injured are to be expected and hey, so what. Nobody is perfect.

What a callous attitude towards people as if they are just a commodity to be used up and tossed aside if the experiment doesn’t pan out.

Bro, I called you adorable. Is that such a crime?

p.s. What do you call someone who pimps the vax?

Cheerfully yours,

the infectious disease expert doesn’t mention the dangers of biden spreading thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a global pandemic...

The lipid nanoparticle has no connection to the ACE-II receptor. It is designed to fuse to the cell membrane (endocytosis) and it only fuses to certain targeted cells-- dendritic cells--antigen-presenting cells. The mRNA from the vaccine is eventually destroyed by the cell, leaving no permanent trace.

So you would deny that this is a war against a virus and should not have any casualties?

The space shuttle program involved a few hundred ppl so you can’t possibly compare their sacrifices to the millions who’ve received a vaccine that hasn’t yet been approved by the FDA.

Oh no, you posted a drawing to show how the vaccine works. You’ve convinced me to definitely get the vaccine now. /s

Remember when President Trump told us we would have the vaccines at “warp speed?” It was officially announced on May 15, 2020. The first doses came 8 months later on January 6, 2021. We were thrilled that Trump’s massive effort to get a vaccine when the nation was in dire need of it was successful. He didn’t cause us wait for the typical three or four year process. The deaths were climbing drastically and he wasn’t going to let us suffer the predicted catastrophe. Moderna designed their vaccine in 2 days and it took massive testing and manufacture to do it right. So did Pfizer.

From what you say it sounds like Moderna and Pfizer didn’t get it right. They should have gone through the long process. You would be happy if they did while America died—right?

It’s the other way around.
