This first sentence isn’t really coherent, but I assume what you’re referring to are live attenuated virus vaccines like the oral polio vaccine, and implying that the virus used in this vaccine will end up like cVDPV (circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus). Last year there were ~500 cases of polio worldwide from circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus. That is indeed a problem. But the vaccines have beaten back regular polio (wild-type poliovirus, WPV) to 23 cases total worldwide in 2023. If only we could have problems like that with this covid vaccine.


It is coherent enough if you aren't so habituated to mental gymnastics. I stopped trying to convince people online a while ago. Stopped reading when I started seeing what I assume to be WHO statistics. We live in different realities and the pandemic has made us make our peace with it. So there is no discussion to be had. I'll be at the CryFreedomGhetto. [0]

What do you mean? No part of this article suggests that this vaccine might be spread in any way.
