Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenzaviruses, and other respiratory viruses

[connda]

A summary of the article:
"Vaccines aren’t suitable for coronaviruses. Such respiratory viruses spread and mutate too quickly. This is why there has never been a vaccine for the common cold and why the flu shot is predictably sub-optimal. Vaccines can be sterilizing and contribute to public health only when the virus is a stable pathogen, such as smallpox and measles.
For coronaviruses, there’s really only one way forward: better antivirals, therapeutics and acquired immunity."

For those with the attention span needed to read this article co-authored by Tony Fauci, you'll come away with an understanding as to why, at the present moment (as well as when the mRNA Covid shots were rolled out at "Warp-Speed), current vaccine technology isn't (wasn't) very effective and simply can not create "sterilizing vaccines" for cold, flu, and SARS-Cov-2 viruses.  In the future?  Maybe.  Right now?  No.  What has been injected into a few billion people's arms are not sterilizing vaccines which are "effective" at stopping infection or transmission these viruses.

The legacy effects of this are going to kill more people than both the covid and the vaccines combined.

 

This is of course assuming nuclear war or exploding tankers full of toxic chemicals doesn't kill everyone first.
