But don´t you agree with Bossche that it is crazy to mass vaccinate with a leaky vaxx duing a pandemic?
You risk giving resistant and even more dangerous variants an advantage over others don´t you think?
Perhaps i can start another thread about Kali. Will ask first.
The analysis has not been peer-reviewed, the early research is theoretical, and does not provide any proof that such a variant is in circulation now.

Put simply, no.
Why, you ask?
Because there is no evidence that the vax is "leaky", this also doesn't mean what you think that it means.
That was an early conspiracy that claimed that people who were vaxxed with the mRNA vax were turned into proteins factories, and that you could get vaxxed simply by sitting next to a vaxxed person and breathing in proteins that they breathed out.
The vaccines widely used by humans today -- especially those used to protect children against mumps, measles, and other potentially deadly ailments -- are what we'd call "perfect" vaccines. But new research suggests that "imperfect" or "leaky" vaccines -- ones that don't make their hosts totally immune to the disease and incapable of spreading it to others -- might have a surprising downside. For now, this so-called leakiness only exists in vaccines used to treat farm animals. But researchers warn that as humankind tackles bigger, badder diseases, we should keep the potential danger of leaky vaccines in mind.

Leaky just means the virus is not eradicated 100% no? As with antiviral drugs the virus can then become resistant.

No evidence that the vax is leaky? So it offer 100% protection and you will NEVER spread Covid to others eh? Bull Snippity!

I grabbed an old artcile from before the Covid

That's not what it means with Covid, it refers to a specific conspiracy.

Yes but that the mass vaccination helps resistant variants to spread.
From the article:
"But they caution that these variants emerged "before vaccination was widespread," and that "as vaccines become more widespread, the transmission advantage gained by a virus that can evade vaccine-acquired immunity will increase."

That merely means that one variant might become dominant while others fad out because the vax is less effective against it. It's not an argument against vaxxing. If anything it's an argument for updating the existing vax.

It´s scientists vs the evolutionary power of a virus no?
Why would the virus not find a way to eradicate us if we threaten to eradicate it constantly without real success?

Say what now?

Because they are not sentient springs to mind. LoL
You do realize viruses and pathogens don't actually want to kill all of their human hosts, because they would eventually have nowhere to live.

Especially when we supercharged it in a lab
It just "wants" to spread.
Usually a very dangerous virus will not spread well but because so many more got the shot the risk is higher that dangerous variants now can.
I´m wrong?

Well, Virus transmission can occur through multiple pathways depending on the pathogen in question, I dont know about "wants" all the same.

Again virus transmission can depend on multiple factors same with the lethality of such.
"Dangerous variants now can" what?
