Conflicts of interest in the "revolving door" of the industry aside, the idea of trying to get ahead of where the virus is going seems more risky than I'm comfortable with. I can understand trying to predict future mutations in order to make a vaccine to cover it in a timely way, but why can't they simulate it with a computer model or something? Why do they actually have to physically demonstrate it?

And why can't we just wait to see what variants arise naturally and then craft an updated vaccine in response like we've always done (like with the flu shot and earlier covid vaccines)? The great thing about mRNA vaccines is that they can be created much more quickly than the previous chicken-egg growth medium mechanism we've had historically. This sounds like it would be a lot of greediness, impatience, and recklessness.

I'm a pharmacist, I have a doctorate in this shit. I can see how easily this video is going to be misunderstood by laypeople, but even from my perspective, I don't like this idea. It would be pushing the river. (and for anyone who doesn't understand what Pharmacists do, we who work in health care are not in cahoots with BigPharma, I promise. We are just sad and have a lot of student debt.)

And interestingly, that revolving door rife with corruption was even something we were warned about in pharmacy school. So if anyone is questioning that, I am the horse you can hear it from my mouth - it is indeed all totally fucked.

Thanks for chiming in Bri. It's good to hear from someone closer to the source than most. What it brings up for me is the whole "gain of function" narrative that was completely denied by Lord Fauci. I thought it was humorous how in the vid, this guy was calling it "directed evolution." It's all semantics. Everything is semantics these days. It's why we can't communicate with each other. But then, his response once he finds out he was "punked" reveals all. I'm sure nothing is going to come from this, it's already drifted behind the balloon and the state of the union it seems... You ask some good questions. We all should be asking damn good questions about all of this. Many are not. That's scary to me. Anyways...good to see you on here.

The semantics indeed -_-. His response was so so *telling* Wild that this stuff doesn't make the news. Love your writings, Adam!

Of course it doesn't make the news, the "news" is sponsored by Pfizer! lol Nearly all of them. And thank you Bri =)
