Thank you, I appreciate it.
Not all viruses have the propensity to mutate rapidly that coronaviruses do.
You are most welcome my FRiend. I hope it sheds a touch of light on this mess we have before us.
As a side note, I personally believe the human immune system is one of Gods greatest gifts given to us. It is so unbelievably intricate, so unbelievably powerful, and we should tread lightly when we think we have come up with a way to make it better. Doubly so when our idea involves tricking our cells into creating parts of the virus, spike protein in this instance.
More importantly, when did you become a Karen?
Thanks Jane. I’m just a poor ole country boy, but I have always enjoyed reading and chasing knowledge, knowledge passed down from people much greater than I.
What is that ole saying? “If I see so far, it is only because I stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before me.”
You have puny little men with sophomoric arrogance messing with something way beyond their full understanding.
We press a coronavirus (notorious mutator) with very narrow pressure (single spike protein narrow) and we wonder whether it drove the mutations?

Indeed. Covid is in the coronavirus “family” and like all coronavirus it is RNA based. RNA based viruses replicate less precisely than DNA giving rise to numerous mutations / variants. It’s random. Most mutations fail.
But the variants that survive and thrive tend to then be the ones that replicate more. Look how rapidly Delta became the predominate strain. The more a given strain evades the vaccines, the more successful it becomes.
Anyone trying to create a durable effective vaccine is in an arms race with an enemy that keeps changing form to evade the antibodies. Not with any mindful deliberation, but simply thru random chance.
So very true. Our understanding of the human immune system is certainly not total. Now add in the law of unintended consequences, and you have a recipe for disaster.
This whole thing reminds me of the early 80’s with AIDS. They pushed AZT and then a year or two later realized it was killing people. Magic Johnson had great advisers and said NO, and he’s still alive today.
Well said Flick, well said.

Why, it’s almost as if the Great Maker knows more than Man!
It is a miraculous system we only barely understand.
Wow, I did not know about the Magic Johnson thing. Man I love this site, learn something new everyday. Thanks for that. And yes, we will not know the full effects of our actions for quite some time. I sure hope this massive human trial fairs better than all trials before it.
The “vaccines” are working. They are a cure for Wuhan flu hysteria, not a vaccine for the flu. Hysteria sufferers who get the vaccine overcome their hysteria and drop their precautions thus get the flu and help reach herd immunity. The success of the vaccinations is measured by the number of vaccinated who get the flu.
“Why, it’s almost as if the Great Maker knows more than Man!“
That was only true in the old days. Now we are so great that we are overqualified for the great maker position. We know much better! Lol
The Great Vaccine Pandemic of 2021
I can imagine the forum you may be thinking about. LOL! Yes, I may be sick. I used the word "spanked" to suggest total humiliation. I wanted you to imagine the humiliation aspect without me going into the details--whips, black leather, etc. I think harsh torture rather than a quick lead injection for the negligence would be more satisfying. Make them sqeeeeeeel like piggies to the tune of "Dueling Banjos!"
Whatever you say, Comrade.
Another round of embarrassing stupidity from “Children’s Health Defense.”
Variants can arise any time a virus replicates. When someone is infected their body is turned into a virus making factory. Viruses do not reproduce themselves - the cells of the host they infect does - viruses inject their genetics into cells, which in turn programs the cells to produce viruses.
An infected person will produce many billions of viruses. It only takes one of the billion to have a mutation and then escape to infect another host to produce a variant. Therefore, it is no wonder the variants have first emerged from places where the virus was spreading the most quickly and there were fewer vaccinations. The Delta variant from India, for example.
Vaccines give you Covid to create antibodies with some therapeutics tossed in.
