Every vaccine turns your body temporarily into a “pharmaceutical factory” for monoclonal antibodies treatment or monoclonal antibody infusion.
The Covid19 vaccine has our bodies’ producing 2019’s (ancestral, original) spike protein (no longer circulating).
If the FDA is honest enough to notice that later batches of monoclonal antibody infusion matching 2021 α, β, γ, δ, strains should be junked in the face of omicron, then…
There is no rationale that’s not self-contradictory to keep boosting our bodies’ production of Covid 19’s spike protein, when it’s now 2022.
Influenza “flu shots” are changed out every year. Frankly omicron doesn’t need a shot, it’s so mild, but if it did it wouldn’t be the Covid 19 version which is now out of date.
A few days ago the FDA removed its EUA for certain Covid 19 monoclonal antibodies as treatment – acknowledging that they have zero efficacy against omicron (itself more than a half-dozen variant-strain-mutations from the “ancestral” version of June 2019 China, “Covid 19” itself). They left the EUA, in place, for at least one newer monoclonal.
Why is that notable? Well, these very specific anti-Covid19-spike-protein monoclonal (i.e. single-strain) antibodies are effectively the laboratory-manufactured products identical (in concept –and, early on, physically, see slide set) to those induced by current (but antiquated) Covid 19 vaccines!
Of course, they are far more expensive per person, but the admission here is that this particular (now outdated) antibody-formulation had no use against omicron. The same would hold true with all vaccines that have not been reformulated to current strain(s) (i.e. ALL current vaccines)!
Pfizer admits pretty much the same by announcing it’s going to have a vaccine in March 2022 SPECIFICALLY TARGETED against omicron. The often mandated (but superannuated) vaccine MEDICALLY/scientifically is “old news”, although as with the last Japanese soldier of World War II (1974 surrender), the salutary information hasn’t quite filtered out to the anachronistic combatants.
The obvious inference is that the vaccines should lose their own EUA unless they are reformulated to keep up with the times (as influenza vaccines are yearly). That won’t happen for quite some time for obvious political reasons – but keep in mind that the reasons people keep maintaining this façade merely are political.
Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity was “trying the same (ineffective) approach over and over again and expecting different results“. The newer Pfizer vaccine (March 2022) could work against omicron: but it’s actually nearly pointless to make it because omicron is on the level of a common cold in severity.
No doubt some people get ill with it but that’s been the way with viruses in the winter and year-round for as long as viruses and mankind have coexisted (i.e. “forever”). Those at nursing home level severity of illness probably should get the new omicron vaccine, others, not so much.
Here’s a statement from the president of the AMA applauding the FDA for being able to realize that certain monoclonal antibody infusion are outdated and ineffective as the variants mutate. It’s an irony-free zone, as his recommendation at the bottom (2) is inimical to his observation (1). That is he should be saying exactly the same thing about an antiquated vaccine not having any relationship to the current omicron strain.
I’ll leave you with this photograph from Florida. A few parents have CHOSEN to mask their kids, so be it. But everybody else is doing JUST FINE in 2018 mode, living life, taking chances, being kids. We owe it to our kids this very same respect for their rights and interests and in fact for their sturdy immune system and effective invulnerability to Covid 19 throughout
