Hello Igor,

At least on my country, flu vaccinations are only encouraged for the elderly. Could this be the reason why they were more vulnerable to SARS-COV-2 disease?

One of the mysteries surrounding how something like sars-cov-2 would make an effective bioweapon is the question of how to shelter non-target populations. If you were going to vaccinate for your new virus prior to deploying it, you might tip off the targets. They might be able to acquire and imitate your vaccine quickly, etc.

This paper makes me think of an interesting concept. If the designers include these common flu sequences, then potentially large portions of the population would have some pre-existing protection. These are the non-target population.

If you then inject huge target populations with a vaccine that fixates their immune system on a portion of a virus similar to your bioweapon candidate and then change that portion for the complete bioweapon product, what will happen? The vaccinated produce the wrong response and are seemingly incapable of developing new responses to variant vaccines. Omicron thus looks like a proof of concept here.

Vaccinated are now vulnerable in the long term to repeat sickness, while those who had pre-existing cross-reactive immunity or who developed natural immunity are mostly protected. Only the relatively low mortality rate of sars-cov-2 makes it less than a stunning success.

The Chinese never used mRNA vaccines and I don't believe the Russians have either; however, that doesn't necessarily meant they were the only progenitors of sars-cov-2 since we still have the misanthropic western elites to consider.

The Russian government is saying there was bioweapons research being conducted in US funded labs in Ukraine. There was even a joint statement with China on this Feb. 4th on US violating the bioweapons convention. It was entirely ignored by Western media and you can only find it on Russian sites right now. I hardly trust Russian propaganda, but we've been brought to the point that I trust the intentions and actions of US gov. agencies equally little. At the least, I can say that our massive funding of Wuhan lab makes me suspicious of what other research was being conducted in other US sponsored labs overseas.
