Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

That's very true. It's also true that mRNA vaccines were more effective against COVID-19 than conventional vaccines. So you'd have to weigh the risk aspect against that, even when it was comparable between the two approaches.

mRNA is simply a delivery system - the immune response comes from the proteins that are produced. It's hard to see how a single, fragment of a viral protein would generate a stronger response than an whole virus, which exposes the system to more binding sites and viral components.

because the mRNA vaccines locked the spike protein into the pre-fusion conformation (proline/2P stabilisation). spike is sensitive and has a tendency to end up in the post-fusion conformation, against which an immune response is less effective.

the mRNA vaccines were not alone in presenting a stabilised spike but this is the notable difference to the inactivated virus vaccines.

That's not the case with attenuated - In lattenuated, spike is embedded in an actual viral envelope and undergoes its normal maturation pathway. It stays in the correct pre-fusion conformation on the virus surface until it binds to a cell.

Why would it be odd? The trick is not just to feed some triggers to the body and hoping that the defence system will activate somehow. It's really more like 'hacking' the cell system and tell it exactly what to do. Plenty more control levers, targeted, efficient.

That's exactly what the covid mRNA vaccines does. It only causes target cells to create an analog of a fragment of the real viruses spike protein. Nothing else.

Putting the racists aside, Alec Watson had a banger of a skeet on this. He commented that Americans have a customer service mindset when it comes to government. They want a manager to come “fix it”, with little curiosity as to what “it” is or even if it’s a problem at all.

People voted against Biden more than they voted *for* Trump (putting another blanket over the racists). They were anxious, and Biden (and Kamala) didn’t ease their anxieties enough.

Republicans have been working on a 2025 style tyranny for decades. Defunding education and infrastructure started during Reagan to pay for the giant tax cut for the rich back then. Billionaires now pay an average of 8% federal income tax.

I always say the biggest lie misogyny tells is that misogyny is no big deal. Why do people have trouble admitting we can't elect a woman to the highest leadership position in the country when we can't even get to 40% in Congress? The fact so few are saying this, proves the point.
