@cinemacapman No - What you're saying is not what I'm saying.
A real vaccine trains your immune system to recognize and fight a pathogen when you encounter it. Technically, yes you had a slight infection. But you beat it off so easily, it doesn't matter. In layman's terms, you are indeed "immune" and "stopped the spread".
Covid vaxx do none of that. I say "vaxx" because covid vaxx are not real vaccines.
First, most covid vaxx train you to fight only a tiny piece or two of the covid pathogen, the bits called "spike protein" and "receptor binding domain".
In technical terms the covid vaxx give you a much smaller range of epitopes / paratropes for fighting future onslaughts than you would get from a natural infection or from a whole-pathogen, classic vaccine.
The justification offered at the time (Dec 2020) was "the narrow epitopes don't matter because the antibodies are top notch ie. fully neutralizing and that's everything you need". But the antibodies were fully neutralizing only on the original, now-extinct "ancestral" or "Wuhan" variant of covid. Which takes us to the next problem...
Second: the tiny bits they targeted (spike & RBD) are the fastest-mutating bits of the covid pathogen. They evolve quickly and easily, as we have seen in reality, into new variants defeating the vaxx.
Thus, "in vitro" (test tube), we already see the vaxx giving low-ish levels of protection against new variants; this is called immune escape. But worse: "in vivo" (real people) the vaxx might even give ANTI-protection. Through effects such as OAS (Original Antigenic Sin) or perhaps ADE (Antibody Dependent Enhancement), the vaxx might even assist new variants in getting at you. A few studies support this.
Third, the bits they targeted (spike & RBD) are toxic with vaxx reactions & "adverse events", not in everybody, but in too many people. Fatigue & autoimmune reactions resembling covid disease, menstrual & fertility problems, blood clots, heart injury in young men, Bell's Palsy.
All that is the opposite of what real vaccines do.
Even if real vaccines leave you technically open to slight infections: real vaccines are, so to speak, "safe and effective". Covid vaxx are not.
Part of the problem is "the moving target" - it is very tough, perhaps impossible, to make a real vaccine against any fast-mutating RNA virus. Which is why in 2022 still no HIV vaccine. HIV is another fast-mutating RNA virus. It's easier to make a vaccine against a slower-moving target, like a DNA virus or a bacterium.
But a bigger problem is: they knew the above from minute one and, rather than admit it, they plowed ahead anyway - a.k.a. shit products & lying to people. ("they" is: Big Pharma, Big Media, FDA, CDC, Fauci, doctors & hospitals, Presidents both Trump & Biden)
Sorry but that's what I know / what's been coming out lately.
P.S. Don't bother saying "Bivalent! They just updated the vaxx for omicron!" Because even that is outdated. The bivalent is for omicron BA1, another extinct old variant.
Not to politicize this but, if you're a Democrat, blaming the covid vaxx disaster on Trump (Operation Warp Speed, indeed) might make it psychologically easier for you to face it. Best wishes.
