@jefoster_ The immune target being used, the spike protein, is not the spike protein of SARS-COV-2. The mRNA was synthetic, a kind of computer code directing the cell to make the synthetic spike protein. The code produced a mutated spike protein, or VARIANT. No way to tell if close...

@jefoster_ ...enough to enable the immune system to recognize the spike protein of the virus. The vaccine does not use the viral spike protein as claimed by Pfizer:

@jefoster_ protein spurs an immune response, including generation of antibodies SPECIFIC TO THE SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

The above was from the FAQ section of the Pfizer Web site. I believe the phrase "specific to the SARS-COV-2 spike protein" is most important, particularly...

@jefoster_ "SPECIFIC TO." The reason for that is, the immune response is to the synthetic spike protein generated by the mRNA, not the spike protein of the vaccine. Immune response to any exposure to the virus is NOT SPECIFIC TO the spike protein of the virus.

@jefoster_ The vaccine immune response is geared only to the synthetic spike protein manufactured through the mRNA. This is a LIMITED RESPONSE to just that one thing. There is no flexibility to the response. I might be wrong, but my OPINION is this could be hampering the response.

@jefoster_ All of this made me think of this exchange:
