    Geert Vanden Bossche recently published an open letter warning of global catastrophe due to mass #COVID19 vaccination producing deadly variants. His argument sounds a lot like an argument Andrew Wakefield once made for MMR. And then there's the grift.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/03/17/geert-vanden-bossche-is-to-covid-19-vaccines-as-andrew-wakefield-is-to-mmr/ …

        So, is Bossche claiming that if we don't vaccinate, there be no deadly variants? Somehow, letting the virus have it's way prevents mutations? Huh??

        That would appear to be an implication of what he's saying, with the subtext that "most of the spread is asymptomatic," which is a variation of the "coronavirus isn't dangerous to most people" trope.

        The virus does variants for free. Vaccines can stop variants. But that's not necessarily common knowledge, so, therefore, he can grift. It's frustrating.

        So, he thinks he has a better as yet undeveloped vaccination... blueprint? Or mechanism? Struggling to find the right word since it seems neither a discovery or invention, still in hypothesis mode. That's his super urgent reason for ending all vaccinations? Unbelievable.

        In software development circles (and probably other circles) products that don't actually exist are called vapourware.

        This thread was fascinating and problematic; it's a bit older now, so not BreakingNews. But it's regarding the mutations.https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1356997086638559235 …

        Trevor BedfordVerified account @trvrb
        However, this is a random process and some viral lineages accumulate more mutations than others. In fact we see that the variants of concern (B.1.1.7 from the UK, 501Y.V2 from South Africa and P.1 from Brazil) possess more mutations than most circulating viruses. 4/18
