There’s a lot of fear mongering about how vaccines may not be protective against future strains
While this is hypothetically true, we need to put things into perspective
First off you need to know that viruses have multiple “epitopes”
These are antigen binding sites

Your immune system learns to fight a virus by identifying these binding sites and producing anti-bodies and T-Cells capable of recognizing these sites
An important principle is that the more epitopes of a virus your immune system can recognize, the more immunity you have

This also explains the wide variability in people’s susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2
The problem with vaccines is that they stimulate immunity to one epitope, usually located somewhere in the Spike Protein
This works very well in the short term...

But a mutation in the epitope that the vaccine targeted could nullify your immune system’s recognition of that site thereby making you susceptible
So getting vaccinated is nowhere near as protective as actually getting Covid-19

When exposed to the whole virus, your immune system develops a response to multiple epitopes
So here’s the good news
“Immunity” does not protect you against infection, it protects you from disease
Asymptomatic infections are this phenomenon

You have sufficient immunity to not progress to disease but a small infection can be detected by PCR testing
So if you’ve been vaccinated, the best thing that can happen is to be exposed to the real virus
Being asymptomatically infected after vaccination is ideal

Also, different vaccines target different epitopes
It may be that getting multiple different vaccines can provide the multi-epitope immunity which is protective long term
What I absolutely reject is the idea that we will be worrying about Covid-19 forever

The flu is the only virus (btw, the 1918 Spanish Flu is still circulating) that has required yearly vaccination
Common coronavirus have all become the endemic “common cold”
In fact coronaviruses kill many old and weak old people
But we don’t test so we don’t know

But there are studies that show that common coronavirus outbreaks in nursing homes can be very deadly
I think that the people who have pre-existing Immunity to Covid have been previously infected with common coronaviruses that share epitopes with Covid-19

We live in harmony with all kinds of viruses
We continuously spread these viruses to each other our entire lives
Most often these infections are asymptomatic
Each time we get infected it’s like a booster shot

But when you’re not exposed to a particular virus for a longer period of time and if you’re old then the virus might be dangerous
It’s possible that you had effective immunity to many viruses a year ago, but today it’s gone
Lockdowns are a sinister social medical experiment

Circulation of viruses is how we’ve managed to make the Spanish Flu endemic
Also coronaviruses overwhelmingly circulate in children
How are lockdowns affecting their immunological development?
There are so many unknowns, but an equal ammount of arrogant experts

We live in harmony with viruses and they’re usually reasonably benign
Once in a while a bad one emerges and kills more than usual, but eventually becomes endemic
This is what history says
Locking down the planet for 1+ year?
Never been done and potentially quite dangerous
