... The likelihood is high that the WAY the virus came in to the population was via test subjects who were exposed to a vaccine derived virus. We are trying to vaccinate against a vaccine-derived virus. I only see things getting worse after the initial 'honeymoon phase' of vaccines; this brief relief from high case rates. I'm worried about October & I'd rather take my chances without the vaccine.
I've yet to become interested in how the virus originated but seeing all the recent headlines on investigations probably will start to read some articles. Like you, I hope that cases remain low this fall.
Scientists are continuing to work on covid vaccines, developing new approaches. Not ending jabs. The Atlantic article you cited says nothing that's relevant to your lead sentence: Spike protein injections mean unintended future consequences. They bind tighter to the brain and reproductive organs than the spikes from the disease itself.
That's YOUR thought. The jist of the Atlantic article is that scientists are concerned the virus could mutate in ways that the spike alone can't handle and that spike-centric vaccines will become obsolete. Even so ...
Interestingly the article goes on to talk about how second generation vaccines might better utilize the T-cell defenses that were also discussed in new studies out this week measuring the impact vaccination has on those previously infected.
The first sentence was not meant to imply that it came from the article.
These are unprecedented circumstances we're living through, and the vaccines are not even FDA approved. Already they're working on alternative vaccines. Not comforting.

Got it: scientists are working on ending experimental jabs so they can come up with new experimental jabs, as described by Atlantic. I'm not immune (bad pun that) to appreciating that "newness" is a cause for concern. I suppose at some point everyone has to take their chances: new unpredictable virus or new vaccines.
That's uncomfortable either way and I guess it's a part of what living with a pandemic means. Personally I have more faith in an American scientific process than whatever this virus is or where it came from. So I never tested myself against the virus. But I have vaccinated.
While this is great, it doesn't apply to all groups of people. For instance, my friends with kidney or other organ transplants are reporting that their transplant teams find that anti-rejection drugs make the vaccine fairly ineffective for them. My oncologist is concerned that vaccines are less effective for people with my type of blood cancer, though that's currently being studied. I have been recommended to switch to wearing N95s in settings with unvaccinated people, though we still have a mask mandate here until tomorrow.
Anti-rejection drugs are strong immunosuppressants. Organ recipients need strong immunosuppressants, otherwise their immune systems would attack and reject new organs. So it isn't really surprising if the vaccines don't work on organ recipients, their immune systems are completely shot. But people in this category are probably always at an elevated risk, pandemic or not.
Yes I guess Elliot didn't hear how the CDC changed the way they *counted* breakthrough cases. Right.
Some people are so gullible.
Many are gullible and our government very well knows that and uses it all the time.
