We can calculate the upper bound of risk from the document you provided. Moderna says 2% of plasma level of LNP ends up in the brain. There are 10 billion LNP in each shot of Moderna vaccine and at most 10% goes into general circulation unless nurse made a mistake and put it in your vein. So, 2% of one billion is 20 million LNP, that is the maximum that will end up in a person’s brain following a vaccine shot. So, maximum 20 million brain cells are at stake after each shot. Not all of them will be neurons.

It just occurred to me why Israeli data on comparison between vaccinated and recovered from covid is different from the other studies. I bet the other studies were all before Delta variant became prominent.
If antibodies are low, that might be weak evidence that you are resistant/immune to the vaccine itself.
mRNA vaccine use PEG in their lipid nanoparticle formulations, if you somehow got antibodies against PEG, you’d be immune to the vaccine, it would not work for you ne matter how many booster you took.
When you say that each consecutive time you catch covid you become more immune, do you implicitly estimate that each consecutive infections comes with lower risk of long covid?
Does Delta version have natural reservoirs in animals?
It will be a different kind of eradication than smallpox eradication then, which is our golden standard for virus eradication. More like rabies management. Not zero cases forever, but small numbers of cases which are managed by vaccination where needed.
The vaccination rate is at 700 thousand a day. It was a million a day. Perhaps, until we get to a million a day again, including boosters, this postponing is not necessary.
Antibody testing is not the only method. There is a much more expensive T-cell testing, that can also confirm prior infection. None of the tests are approved by FDA for the purpose of determining natural immunity.
Won’t that make new developments more expensive as the developers will be discouraged from even starting the projects?
That as long clause of yours is where the problem is. Fewer projects will be profitable. Reducing the profits increases developer’s risks. Not every project turns out profitable, and squeezing the margins will increase the risk of bankruptcy. Increasing the price has its limits. Non-affordable units are non-affordable because few people can afford it. Only a limited amount of them can be sold.
You may underestimate the second group. People who are convinced that the government is mandating poisonous treatment are pretty paranoid to begin with and as many paranoid people, they will attempt to hide and blend in in any way they can manage to avoid the poisonous treatment.
You might not know this, but in case you do
Is it true that Key to New York program makes no distinction between first and second shot, and you are literally considered vaccinated as soon as the first shot is recorded in your card?
What do you think of this?
Sweden and Denmark suspend the use of Moderna.
If you completely neglect the effect this will produce on vaccine hesitant population, and consider only these Nordic countries which have plentiful supplies of both mRNA vaccines and over 70% vaccination rate.
By late 2022 and much more probable by 2023 mRNA flu vaccines will be available and they will be just as effective as covid vaccines.
It was easy to scare pregnant women off vaccinating because the vaccine trials excluded pregnant women.
Which made the statemen that vaccines were not tested for safety on pregnant women technically correct.
There are between 30 and 40 thousand traffic fatalities per year in US. That means, if we use your numbers, that collectively Americans drive about 3 trillion miles a year. Fascinating, never thought to sum all the miles we drive.
The big promise of mRNA technology is that a vaccine can be made against several strains in the same shot
Any prior calculation for covid infection must also include vaccination status and history of recovery from previous covid infection(s)
It is unlikely that any law that appears to discourage vaccinations will be passed this year.
