The development of “self-spreading vaccines” for wild animals is exactly what caused the COVID-19 pandemic in the first place. https://archive.ph/v3Qeg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7709177/ https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108777215248937177 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108779333080481680 https://gab.com/Flavinkins/posts/108709042074566995 https://archive.ph/qXMsd https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.24.20179457v2 The FCS, CTCCTCGGCGGGCACGTAG sequence, is highly immunogenic, is an intrinsic opsonization motif in wild animals, prevents reinfections from happening, and the Q498 in the RBD is exactly what that would be created during the selection for a live attenuated vaccine that causes no pathogenesis in a mouse model. And detrimental in natural evolution. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(20)30089-6/fulltext The R0 of SARS-CoV-2 in fruit bats is 1/2.36, yet it causes all of the inoculated bats to develop neutralizing antibodies. https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/JVI.02232-20 In the ferret model, only Live SARS-CoV-2 USA-WA-1, but not any form of intramuscular conventional vaccination, sterilizingly protected ferrets from reinfection, indicating that the entire virus is required for optimal immunogenicity, and that it have functioned perfectly as a self-spreading animal vaccine. https://archive.ph/71Di3 https://archive.ph/VdpwJ https://archive.ph/CFNcS
