There are multiple antigens to which our body could build antibodies. Let’s suspend disbelief related to the safety of mRNA vaccines for a moment so that we can ask this question. Even if we agreed with the mRNA approach then why builds a vaccine to target the toxic antigen instead of the neutral antigens? I’ve asked doctors this same question and they’re like 🤷♂️ ask the scientists.
Nucleocapsid (N) protein is present in the core of the virus and antibodies to it are found within IgG immune cells of cured hosts. So clearly natural immunity is targeting these antigens. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-83108-0
There’s a chance that research was so early that they chose the most obvious antigen: the protein responsible for binding the virus to the cell, which, one could infer, would be recognized by the body. But you ask a good question. Apparently the mRNA tech is easily customizable, and they could develop instructions for ANY antigen. So why not choose something less toxic (pmid:33284859, pmid:33053430, pmid:33232769)? I can only imagine that a marketing campaign built around numbers relating to safety would be more effective than the current “if you don’t take it you’re an antivaxxer and probably a nazi hick” strategy they’re implementing now, but I don’t believe they have those numbers to advertise. So they COULD develop a new one, but haven’t. It would be BENEFICIAL to develop a new one, but they haven’t. If they are not doing something that is both possible and good, what are we to think?
You bring up a good point though I’m not sure that even hubris can explain this and here’s why: “new and improved vax provides super immunity. Engineered to target all aspects of the virus”
They could make more money here -and- offer it under auspices of increasing “safety and efficiency”. So, it seems irrational unless the intent is to harm.
Exactly, that’s what I was trying to say. It’s totally within they’re capability to create a vaccine that is safer, but they don’t. Which means that there is something about this one/set they are committed to. Obviously it’s not because of it’s effectiveness. Sigh.
