"Of course, the vaccine leads to the creation of spike proteins even in people who've never had Covid-19... My next question, therefore, is: How vulnerable are we? I would think "Not very"
I think very much "not very"...like zero. A couple things:
(1) The NUMBER and attack scope of the mRNA spikes has got to be several orders of magnitude more dangerous than even a REALLY bad case of original/Delta Covid. I don't know that, because apparently nobody can say how many spikes are created in a typical mRNA vax injection. Then there is the persistance of the mRNA, which the original spikes never exhibited. THEN there is the lipid nanoparticle to enable the spikes to get pretty much everywhere, including more easily into the brain.
(2) Current Covid effectively lacks an effective spike. I haven't seen this written about very much, but the spike was the portion which most mutated into a comparatively innocuous form, in the transition from delta to omnicron. I'd like to see more written on this topic, so I am going a bit out on a limb. But it is my understanding that Omincron doesn't really invade the lungs (and probably not other organs, either) in a typical case. And that, I think, is because its spike has been effectively replaced with a "wet noodle".
One last thing to more or less support the idea that the dangers are with the mRNA far more than the spike: the J&J adenovirus-vector vaccines actually had a positive "all cause mortality" result (a bit surprising). That is probably because it produced such a comparatively very limited number of spikes vs mRNA...so it was more like a mild case of original Covid. Yes, even with J&J there were clotting problems in some people...but overall the dangers were very mild and limited in scope vs. this mRNA poison.
What is especially crazy right now is that it looks like Moderna is expecting to be able to release a bunch of mRNA vaccines, for all manner of things, under the broad brush of how "safe" the mRNA Covid vaccines are???
When will the lawsuits start in earnest? What is holding them up? I would have expected thousands of them by now.
