I thought the issues with "leaky vaccines" including the increased potential for mutations was acknowledged by both the "vaxers" and the anti-"vaxers". Just curious as you seem to be implying that "leaky vaccines" are not potentially a contributing factor.
It is my understanding that the MMR vaccine is in fact effective in stopping symptomatic infections, polio has been eradicated in the US for 30 years and in South Africa since 2016, and variola major supposedly only exists in a few highly secure facilities. Your response here is comparing apples to oranges.
I've always thought you were misguided, but a straight shooter. I know you're smarter than to make the above comparison unless
1) You don't believe that "leaky vaccines" are an issue. (I thought it was pretty well agreed that they are)
2) You are getting worn down from all the ridiculous hype that's thrown around by both sides and just posted it as a snide comment, even though it's not a valid comparison. (Doesn't seem like your style, snide occasionally but not intentionally false.)
3) You are being intentionally intellectually dishonest (Maybe I read you wrong.)
Still curious about any insight you may be willing to share on the above (from 13 Nov). I noticed you "liked" it so I know you read it, but you never replied.
My response was to post #72. Omicron did not "come from" the vaxxed. I also was addressing the "messing with mother nature"--which is exactly what the other vaccines to organisms I listed--does.
There is a progression of mutation in viruses like coronavirus. The biggest factor is having a reservoir of hosts where it can reproduce. The mutations are a factor of the reproduction rate--more reproductive cycles = more chances at mutation. That is why the variants are typically seen in countries with low rates of vaccination or high rates of susceptible host. India, South Africa have both seen variants. To that end I dont' think "leaky vaccines" are responsible for the creation of new variants.
