Some philosophers and scientists have suggested that the notion of survival of the fittest is an example of circular reasoning—that is, a tautology (a statement framed in such a way that it cannot be falsified without inconsistency). In tautologies, any true statements that follow are a matter of definition. Indeed, describing those that survive as the fittest is similar to stating that those that survive survive. British philosopher Karl Popper considered “survival of the fittest” self-evident at first; however, he changed his mind after realizing that Darwin posited variation axiomatically; that is, Darwin noted that all individuals did not start with the same set of characters (or traits). Therefore, the forces affecting survival did not weigh on individuals and species equally; there were always variations, some of which would prove favourable and confer fitness over others.
New findings by scientists at the National Institutes of Health and their collaborators help explain why some people with COVID-19 develop severe disease. The findings also may provide the first molecular explanation for why more men than women die from COVID-19.
The researchers found that more than 10% of people who develop severe COVID-19 have misguided antibodies―autoantibodies―that attack the immune system rather than the virus that causes the disease. Another 3.5% or more of people who develop severe COVID-19 carry a specific kind of genetic mutation that impacts immunity.Consequently, both groups lack effective immune responses that depend on type I interferon, a set of 17 proteins crucial for protecting cells and the body from viruses. Whether these proteins have been neutralized by autoantibodies or―because of a faulty gene―were produced in insufficient amounts or induced an inadequate antiviral response, their absence appears to be a commonality among a subgroup of people who suffer from life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia........
The researchers discovered that among nearly 660 people with severe COVID-19, a significant number carried rare genetic variants in 13 genes known to be critical in the body’s defense against influenza virus, and more than 3.5% were completely missing a functioning gene. Further experiments showed that immune cells from those 3.5% did not produce any detectable type I interferons in response to SARS-CoV-2.

I was just reading a study that seems to be showing that the proteins used to target the "live" virus are to blame for most of the damage caused by the virus itself. With this "vaccine" they are just by passing the virus and making your cells pump out these proteins that do just as much damage to your circulatory and respiratory systems as the virus does (apparently).

I know this is an anecdotal observation but still I want to know if anybody else on ATS has seen and heard this?
The whole time COVID was raging nobody within my circle of friends and relatives died or got sick.
I have family all over North America as well, so not a regional thing.
Within a very short period of time AFTER the vaccine coming out, 3 people I know including relatives have suddenly died.
Was it from the COVID shot?
I really don't know and not wanting to be incentive to the families I will not ask, "Was it because they recently got the jab?"
All deaths were sudden and they were not sick from covid.
Anybody notice this trend within the people they know?

I may be wrong, but these are the Spike Proteins...and they can increase thickness in vein walls...also increasing the potential of blood clots...and strokes.

So, why use an experimental "medical device" that "reprograms" your cells to produce these proteins when they are able to create empty virus shells with the same proteins? The end result of an immune response would be the same, would it not?

By what mechanism can a protien spike thicken a vein wall? I don't think that's a real thing.
