      Is what makes you feel so terrible when you're sick, that's why you don't want to get it involved. Like a car driver would rather not see the seat belt and air bags do their life-saving thing.

      Fun fact: Up to the Civil War or WWI, more soldiers died of illness than of battle wounds. So much for the fabled immune system. And if WWI killed more soldiers in battle, the flu still won that round, because the Spanish Flu killed heaps more later. Now we still remember WWI for its bloodiness, but without Covid-19, who would remember the Spanish Flu?

      Frankly, I'm not sure what scientists would find because you're the first one to think of analyzing the outcome from the mRNA vaccines. The scientists are all too busy doing science to be capable of the kind of leaps of lateral logic it would take to conceive of a plan like that. I'd follow up myself, but I just looked at some water through a microscope and I need to tell everyone I found bugs in it.

      Is putting it mildly and vaguely the new tactic, since concretizing the arguments always exposes their impotence?

      There certainly have been some concerns! No doubt.

      I think we, as intelligent people, can agree that the quality of those concerns and the basis of the concerns have been low, and in bad faith respectively. In that light, it seems obvious that we as a society should press on with the promising research like this.
