"‘LEAKY’ VACCINES CAN MAKE VIRUSES MORE DEADLY"

'A new study is the first to confirm a highly controversial theory: that some vaccines could allow more virulent version of a virus to survive, putting unvaccinated individuals at greater risk of severe illness.'

The mRNA vaccines probably fit this definition, because they cause your body to produce one very specific covid part: an imperfect version of the spike protein. And on top of that, lockdown has the same effect.

@pete I didn't take the time to read the original article, but: it is from 2015 and it doesn't consider mRNA vaccines.
Therefore it isn't neither new nor discussing the actual topic.
Lockdown has the same effect of what? Of producing spike proteins?

Stop spreading #misinformation

@rastinza "I didn't take the time to read the original article" ←enough said.

@pete I read the article you posted... I did get the idea of what the original article is concerned with and I understood it is not relevant with what you wrote.
In truth I don't believe you read the original article either, otherwise you wouldn't have written anything like that.

@rastinza I have read the original, which for reference is at: https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002198

It's pretty easy to see what the risk is: mRNA vaccines target a very specific part of the virus, making it plausible that evolution would render them less effective. Second, they're an injected vaccine, for a respiratory illnesses, making it plausible that they don't prevent transmission due to a lack of muscocal immunity.

@rastinza As to the issue with lockdown, it's not an identical issue. But it is related: lockdown favors virulence as a means to bypass transmission restrictions. The most worrying one being if virulence leads to people being hospitalized, and then spreading it in hospital. That's one of the theories as to why the Spanish Flu was so deadly to young people: wartime field hospitals.

@pete I never thought about that, and never heard anybody say anything like that but it does make sense.

However in most countries lockdown was imposed due to other restrictions, mainly the availability of beds in hospitals.
The main problem was avoiding filling all the hospitals and having ill people locked out.
There are surely other solutions to this problem, such as extensive testing of the population, but all of them have their disadvantages.

@rastinza "However in most countries lockdown was imposed due to other restrictions, mainly the availability of beds in hospitals."

_Predicted_ availability. Something you see over and over again is that hospitals actually weren't anywhere near as full as expected. Often, less full than usual even.

It's normal for hospitals to be full during flu seasons - heck, it's normal for hospitals to be almost full all the time, because hospitals are very expensive and we don't build much capacity.
