"all full-protein inactivated and thus include the nucleocapsid portion"
KD, have a look at the Indian designed Covaxin vaccine. It's based on a fully inactivated virus vaccine, and as such should give better recognition to more epitopes of the virus apart from just the spike protein. And the technology used is based on a decades old platform that's used for other vaccines like Polio, et al.

Anybody else noticing a massive surge in auto accidents in their areas? We're getting them here - fatalities, fender-benders, median strips. Even a few people literally driving into storefronts. All in lighter-than-usual traffic.
I guess all these vaccinated people are having mini-strokes as they are driving around. Beware!

OK, I agree that nothing short of an N95 respirator will stop aerosols. And N95 repirators will only work if donned correctly which I've yet to see done. I've written news articles on the topic of respirators for the metal trade industry so I know whereof I speak. However, I don't get the thing about the fecal aerosol spread through soil stacks in absence of p-traps. Toilets don't have p-traps. Anywhere in the world. This is because the water always present in a commode's bowl blocks fumes. That is, the entire toilet acts as its own P-trap. However, when you flush, aerosols rise into the room and are hence more likely to be spread through the building's ventilation system (I'm sure that even in China they have fans in their bathrooms).

https://www.pnas.org/content/118/4/e2014....Quote:
Only one observational study has directly analyzed the impact of mask use in the community on COVID-19 transmission. The study looked at the reduction of secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Beijing households by face mask use (10). It found that face masks were 79% effective in preventing transmission, if they were used by all household members prior to symptoms occurring. The study did not look at the relative risk of different types of mask.
Now, what did Karl post from that study? That around 80% of people had natural immunity?
Why does the flu seem to arise out of the part of the world that wears so many masks, if they are so effective?

Our Asshat Gov Cooper held a news conference yesterday. I almost couldn't make it through with all of the lies and propaganda being spewed. I could easily tell they are panicked that the rate of people getting in line to get the jab has slowed wayyyy down. They're now talking about "campaigns" to get people vaccinated. Bitch please. No "campaign" you do will be enough for me to get that toxic, unhealthy shot in my body.
I also shared this ticker on my FB wall... I have 1k+ friends. It got two "laughs" and the following comment:
Idiot FB friend wrote..
The thing is, everyone reacts differently to the virus. Some people are totally fine, and some people, like my dad, are completely consumed by it and pass away. In my opinion, wearing a mask is simply a way of saying, I respect your health as much as I respect my own. Lets take care of each other and get through all of this mess together instead of letting it tear us apart.
My guess is she didn't even bother reading the whole thing, just stopped at the mask discussion. You would think she'd be furious at losing her dad when she didn't have to. I highly doubt he was given ivermectin or budesonide and instead was left to watch his oxygen deplete until he died.
As for respecting her health as much as my own... I'd rather wear a damn sticker than a disgustingly unhealthy face diaper. And that should be MY choice, not hers.

@Bluetick - The sinks were not P-trapped. Yes, the commode is by its natural design, but they all were on the same vertical drain stack so when you flushed aerosolized shit got blown out the drains of the sinks on floors below yours. This was what made that situation unique and enabled me to analyze what happened, since there was no other plausible mechanism that people who did not know each other and were separated by several FLOORS had no other reasonable explanation for being able to infect each other, yet NOBODY ELSE in the building got infected -- just those on that same vertical drain stack.
@Mentalic - That doesn't help if the spike is directly pathogenic, and it appears that it is. As I've repeatedly noted we've never been able to successfully vaccinate against coronaviruses before and it's not because we haven't tried.

I recently had an antibody test in an attempt to convince wife not to get the shot. I was hoping for a positive result showing natural protection. The test was negative.
From a non-scientific background the question I have is:
If I am part of the 81% who have protection from covid, would I produce antibodies to covid detectable to the antibody test I took?
I hope the question is not "too far out there."
The test was a blood test and is described as "SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) ANTIBODY IGG."
Thank you.

@Tickerguy Thanks for all the information. I guess if the new strain potentiates through ADE then the vaccinated population would be hit hardest (but 80% of them would still be okay since their existing cross immunity nuc antibodies would kick in). If this ever gets started, then being unvaccinated, you would want to lock down your vaccinated family / friends 100%, or what other course of protection would they have aside from hoping their in the 80%?
@Heartlander Thanks for the info
@Maudite The ADE discussion mentioned (lock=cell wall) was very helpful. Thanks.

Interesting catch Mannfm11 but honestly I don't feel like dying on the mask hill so to speak. As a matter of fact I'm totally burned out trying to get this message across. Winter is Coming and we deserve it.

MAYBE. But quite-possibly not, at least not in clinically-material amounts, depending on how rapidly your existing resistance identifies the problem and destroys it.
This is also my quandary; I have been exposed myriad times. For a while I was keeping track of known exposures as I EXPECTED after each one to get the virus, but refused to go get tested until and unless I had some sort of symptoms, and in addition I had antibody tests (linear flow, now all used up) so I could self-surveil, which I was doing on 3 month intervals. During the summer and fall here it got to the point that I was literally being exposed weekly and several of those were by people who a day later had clinically-significant disease in addition to a positive test, so that I actually WAS exposed is conclusive.
I've never gotten sick, but I also have never tested positive for antibodies. But I assure you -- I damn sure was exposed (no masks, time "at risk" typically spanning an hour or more indoors, etc.) more than a dozen times, and so I SHOULD HAVE gotten it but, on the scientific evidence, did not.

@Mohawkman - With a fecal and aerosol-driven bug it will be nearly impossible to evade it on a durable basis. If we pull the black ball the best you'll be able to do is hit any suspected infection immediately with inhaled steroids (e.g. Budesonide) and antivirals (e.g. Ivermectin) and hope for the best. If said person does not have pre-existing nucleocapsid recognition they're going to be in a LOT of trouble.
What happens in these circumstances is that instead of 1-in-10 or 1-in-100 viral copies released with each cycle getting into a cell the rate is wildly potentiated, frequently by double or more, and the resulting inflammatory response fucks you immediately and VERY hard since it's wildly beyond what your immune system normally is expected to deal with.

@Tickerguy Thanks for the response. For the Budesonide: will the nasal spray (no prescription needed) work for this purpose or does it need to be in an inhaler form?
Jw.

@Bluetick
Toilets have p-traps, they are built into the base and it is what makes the sucking sound when you flush. If it wasn't for the p-trap you would not have water in the bowl and you would smell sewer/septic gasses all the time in the bathroom.

Is it possible to buy an inexpensive budesonide inhaler in the USA? Is that prescription only? I dont think it would be since the nasal spray version is OTC.

@Sailordeek - from what I understand antibodies not really desirable. Antibodies could lead to ADE and worse infection.
I would only recommend these injections if you want to die or you just like to visit doctors because of chronic illness. The spike protein is toxic and you manufacture it all over your body after the injections. The extent of the possible damage is not even known yet. Many of the entries in the VAERS database are horrific.
