By no means am I an expert, but my understanding is that vaccines don’t go far enough. They provide B-Cell immunity, which doesn’t last permanently because newer variants have different antigens. Getting COVID after vaccination seems to be the most robust, because there is both T-Cell and B-Cell activation.

Wow, a barely tested technology that hasn't never been successfully used in the last decades it was developed, targeting a new virus isn't living up to its promise, how surprising!

It's time for governments to implement science-based policies, severe links with snake oil vendors and stop discriminating people on the basis of their (un)willingly participation to an ineffective drug trial.

I used to work in immunology - this is not accurate. We know that e.g. mRNA vaccines elicit quite a good T-cell immune response. e.g. for one of many studies looking at T-cell responses to the recent sars-cov-2 vaccines: https://www.cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S1074-7613(21)00308-3

This is never going to end. I hope a giant meteor obliterated the earth.

Isn’t life all about timing.
