(1/5) It’s good to see that other scientists are now increasingly repeating my warning against viral immune escape (@RWMaloneMD, @McCulloughBHVH, @BretWeinstein). Although I’ve already been alerting global health authorities about 6 months ago,

(2/5) mass vaccination has continued to an extent that viral resistance has now become unavoidable anyway. I am not sure one can reasonably speculate on how viral infectiousness and viral virulence will evolve before we see the consequences of viral resistance to the vaccines.

(3/5) There is no precedent, indeed, for the effect of fighting a pandemic with vaccinal antibodies that the virus is resistant to (and which will inevitably be recalled by ‘updated’ booster shots, due to ‘antigenic sin’).

(4/5) Scientifically speaking, it remains difficult to understand how resistance could be accompanied by increased viral infectiousness, as I’ve tried to explain in my most recent Q&A posting. Whether Sars-CoV-2 will persist and evolve into endemicity will ultimately depend on

(5/5) how viral infectious pressure will eventually compare to the density and immune status of the population. Given the lack of appetite to change the current strategy, it seems like time has come to scale up capacities for early treatment.
