The simplest way to understand the insanity of boosting for Omicron
If the first-generation monoclonal antibodies are now so useless that they’re being retired, why would the first-generation vaccines be any better?
We call them vaccines. But it is clear after a year of use that the mRNA shots do not produce a robust long-term B- or T-cell immune response.
What they do is drive up antibodies to the spike protein (to unnaturally high levels, levels that all by themselves may cause problems, but put that aside). And those antibodies are extremely narrowly focused, not just on the spike protein but on a particular part of it.
In other words, they basically turn your body into a factory for generating monoclonal antibodies for the original wild-type virus.
But THOSE ANTIBODIES DON’T WORK ANYMORE AGAINST OMICRON. Its shape is too different. They can’t attach properly. Which is why the Lilly and Regeneron antibodies are being phased out.
Yet the same logic that has led to the realization that the mAb cocktails won’t work is being ignored for the vaccines.
Why?
I don’t know. But the answer definitely is not a pathetic unwillingness to admit vaccine failure at all costs.
After all, we’ve learned over the last two years that pride and vanity never drive the decisions of our public health authorities!
If my book The Defeat Of COVID had been heeded, none of those discussion of MABs or vaccines would be necessary. I put out the most comprehensive and earliest arguments, backed by 130 studies, for daily use of vitamin D as covid preventive and minimizer. +PCR results, morbidity and mortality were way down in vitamin D cohorts vs controls. Then, if sick after that, either ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine with zinc has been working great for my patients, knocking it out quickly, as well as in 100s of clinical studies all over the world.
I think one big reason why the "vaccine" is still being pushed is that both parties are on board. while many Republicans have denounced vax mandates, they still keep praising the "vaccine" itself, starting with Trump himself, who just proudly admitted having got the booster. Why? didn't he catch Covid? With natural immunity he didn't need any at all. I don't support Trump anymore. I am done with this clown. He is the one with his bullshit warp speed that got us into this mess, even though Pfizer used him and then laughed at him, by announcing the vaccine 3 days after election day. But he won't admit how he got used and how he led us into vaccine tyranny.
Even Desantis is still pitching the vaccines, though to his credit, he is staunchly anti-mandate. The only politician on the right side of history has been Rand Paul.
