I believe the J&J vaxx was produced the old school way, but I might be wrong.

They all target the spike protein.

Nature.com, lol!!! Really got em now!!

What’s going on in here? Is the OP’s post bullshite or not?

The answer to this question, 99% of the time, is "yes." Someone finds some bullshite on the internet, lacks the intellectual curiosity to cross-check it, spreads it all of the internet and the cycle continues.

Just to be clear on two things:

1. You believe statistical modeling doesn't account for variance in standard deviation (or as you call it, "ebb and flow")?

---

Just stick to what I actually say.

1. A bad flu season that kills 100K sick/frail people will push the excess death threshold up, not down.

2. A mild flu season that many very sick/frail survive (negative excess deaths) will push the excess death threshold down - were talking only about the impact of flu here.

3. When you have 2 or 3 mild flu seasons followed by a very hard flu season, you have created waves in the death -v- excess death metric.

2. You've now decided these deaths are now from the flu and not from a surge in cancer and heart attack deaths?

---

No. I said nothing like this.

I’m saying Covid is a f’n nasty virus for those that are already very unwell. And I’m arguing that when you’re 60 years old and 100 lbs overweight, have diabetes, you smoke and have had 4 heart attacks - then contract Covid and in your critically diseased/weak state, die during a fifth heart attack, Covid didn’t kill you.

Lol at people actually believing the death numbers - if your argument is based on death numbers you’ve already lost. Those numbers aren’t real.

---

This position - "I don't believe anything" - is at least more defensible than "all of those people died of heart attacks and cancer."

I was replying to a post asking this question:

So, why the synthetic vaccines then? Why not make a vaccine using part of the virus like usual?

---

I believe the J&J vaccine was created using the old school method of taking the virus, dumbing it down, and introducing the weakened version of it to the body to fight. As opposed to the "synthetic" mRNA vaccines the the previous poster asked about.

Again, all accounted for in the modeling. They don't just go off of "last year" or whatever.

---

Are you arguing that “last year” is not considered in the modeling? What are the algorithm’s predictions based on if not history (more than one year), at least in great part?

Also, there’s a difference between “accounted for” and “being accurate” - don’t forget that.

You're asking preliminary versus total? I'm a little confused as to your premise in the second part of that post. If you're assuming they might fudge the numbers why wouldn't they have done that in December?

---

The numbers reported on December 31st aren’t the final numbers. I would be interested to see what the CDC reported on Dec 31st of 2019 versus the final 2019 numbers. In other words, how many deaths lagged the last week of the year.

If there’s a huge aberration year over year, I’ll probably chalk it up to CDC frickery and move on.

What does this have to do with your claim that it hasn't been isolated? Why not build automobiles like they did in the 1970s and before? Why use advances in technology?

Compared to other vaccine platforms, mRNA vaccines possess unique advantages including versatility, efficient delivery, use of the protein translational machinery of the host, and short developmental time
