"that argument simply has not been made." Indeed it has not. The vaccines are leaping screaming mediocrities. A really good one would induce nasal membrane antibodies to attenuate spread and activate several populations of T cells, one of which would attack virus-infected cells, convincing them to commit suicide. The other T cell population would help initiate the phenomenon of immunological memory. Upon 2nd exposure, memory gives you a faster response and a greater variety of antibodies (including the ones in your nose, throat and respiratory passages ("mucosal immunity"). These vaccines do neither. And since they don't stop spread, they encourage survival of more-virulent mutants like delta etc. Trust me, this is my wheelhouse; I've taught immunology for 35 years. The vaccines suck and this is a setup for corporate pharma racketeering -- the "healthcare" mafia.

I can't help but notice how this post COVID power grab sure looks a lot like the post 9/11 power grab. It's almost like having the other party in office doesn't make any difference at all.
