Are you sure that's correct?
Do you mean you can not have a natural immune response to the same strain of a common cold?

Vaccines do not CAUSE mutations. It is easily provable that Delta was not caused by the vaccine.

So 3 maybe 4 injections a year per adult citizen (potentially kids too) until we can level things out slightly. Potentially 1-2 in the future.
Going by most stats I hear (60-75% vaxxed) you might as well say about 200 million Americans will require a minimum of 2 doses per year. I'll round the cost to $25 since logistics etc... That's like $10 billion a year!
Covid is expensive huh?

No, you didn't say the same strain, and I wasn't trying to debate you. I added the "same strain" to clear up what you were saying in my own head. Is why I said "did you mean that' I didn't quote you

Not exactly, antigenic shift, antigenic drift, recombination, and RNA editing are what cause the virus to mutate. Mutations are caused by no proofreading of RdRp like you would see with DNA polymerase, with RdRp, if it kind of fits in the closed palm site, it gets incorporated during elongation of the nascent RNA strand. Most often, those mutations are mutagenic to the proteins and they no longer function so the virus loses a critical component and dies out, being out produced by the original variant.
It’s when those mutations give the virus an edge against the original strain that it’s an issue. So if you have an immune host from a vaccine or exposure, it would go after the original variant at first while the new more virulent virus outcompetes the original. This can also happen in an immunocompromised host who is given treatment or has antibodies.
A crappy vaccine can help the virus reproduce through non neutralizing antibodies which help the virus enter antigen presenting cells and immune cells like dendritic and others that give it an additional entry site. This could drive additional mutations because it’s reproducing.
It’s doesn’t matter with a respiratory RNA virus, it’s going to mutate. I don’t know where people got the idea that vaccines are the cure all for this thing, probably our governments. All we are buying is time and slowing down the virus in our bodies until our immune cells update and incorporate novel antigen binding targets.
SARS-CoV-2 is one recombination event or a couple amino acids away, meaning one or two nucleotide changes, from being far more deadly and making our cells lose large portions of mitochondrial and IF-1 antiviral defense pathways. Now that’s weird to me, because that is just highly unlikely to naturally occur, yet there it is and it exists. It can still happen but it’s a great target for destroying tissue and letting the virus reproduce for hours or days before the body even knows it’s there.

Leaky vaccines increase the likelihood of more mutations occurring. This is simply because there are many more copies of the virus being produced in a population. The more reproductions of the virus, the greater the chance of mutations occurring.
If a vaccine prevents infection from occurring, the virus doesn't reproduce in the vaccinated portion of the population. The vaccines that we have available now do not prevent infection.

Do you know why they need to kill off 200+ million Americans? Because the US has the LARGEST Militia/Unofficial standing Army in the world! Hundreds of millions of guns and possibly trillions of rounds of ammunition. They can't invade the US unless they kill off your kids, demoralize the population and kill off 2/3rds of the people you know.

Stop Saying the Vaccine Works
It makes you sound ignorant and hurts your cause.
