@Olddad - I had assumed but did not have proof that the mRNA shots produced antibodies that were easily distinguished from those produced by natural infection.

What makes it worse is that over the last few months the "fuck you" Covid-19 events (e.g. thrombotic problems, etc.) appear to be (not yet proved) linked to at least some part of the spike protein on the virus. I'm reading everything I find on that as I do because it's intriguing both from a medical science point of view and also both due to this potential and also for how you *MIGHT* be able to stop a bioweapon that keys on it.

Israel may have that answer incidentally and it's not vaccine-based but rather stops the dysregulation and thus turns infection into "who cares?" That MIGHT work against a weaponized version as well but until we know more about that it's damn stupid to bet your future on that working.
