You are right! A vaccine is supposed to protect a person from getting the infection the wild virus.
Nor flu vaccine or transfect Covid-19(it is not a vaccine) will protect!
First of all in order to get the protection against respiratory viruses you need secretory (IgA) antibodies on respiratory tract level. None of them induces such antibodies. All the data(FDA, NIH, Pfizer, Moderna,and so on} concerning the protection, in both cases, refers to induced circulatory (in blood)antibodies (IgG) with no value in protection against respiratory viruses. A big scheme!
I used to love National Geographic as well. Now, just seeing that fabled yellow magazine cover is enough to spike my blood pressure with contempt.
Nor do most people. From the article: “For some shots, such as those for measles and polio, the black-and-white approach is essentially true, says William Schaffner, a professor of infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University. If you received the standard vaccine regimen as a child, your odds of ever catching those particular diseases are tiny: around 1 percent for each.”
After the two shots I received over two years ago I have been seriously ill. The problem has to be the vaccine.
Do you not understand what the point was?
I used to really like it, had a subscription for many years, but they went off the deep end with Leftist advocacy and I cancelled it back in the late Nineties,
The writing was probably on the wall as early as 1986 when the Germans bought out the magazine from Gerard Piel. It used to be practically a half an inch thick, and full of great information, but the Germans decided that it was "too technical", and decided to dumb it down for a broader audience, and the woke nonsense soon followed.
Gone but not forgotten.
One of the things I like about Scientific American is that it wasn’t like reading a damned white paper in a journal.
The style of the articles was approachable to anyone who was interesting, but with enough technical detail that someone in a STEM field would be able to grasp it even if it were in a field that was not their primary one.
A real shame.
