I've been warning about this since I heard about the new mRNA messing with our immune system. I've been called anti-vax for pointing this out even though my kid and myself are vaccinated against a lot of bugs.
Fear is the worst counselor and I've seen what it does.
Thank you for posting.

Personally, my biggest concerns with this mRNA treatment mostly come down to, humans lack a full understanding about how our immune systems actually function. We know much.of it, but there's still lots we don't know. Likewise, we're only beginning to scratch the surface on knowledge about the ways the various systems in the human body interact with with eachother and foreign entities. Considering we've spent thousands of years looking at human bodies, there's still so much we don't know.
This treatment alters a fundamental system in your body, one of the most important ones, your immune system. As much as genetic and biotech engineers like to believe they know exactly what they're doing, they don't. Most genetic engineering and biotech is extremely rough and 'hacky' and we still don't have any idea of any long term consequences from any of our messing around at the level of RNA and DNA.
If history has shown us anything, everytime humanity jumps on some kind of amazing new tech and starts rolling full steam ahead without looking at consequences, especially medical tech, bad things happen to a lot of people.

If that were true then wearing a condom would breed ultra-Herpes capable of burning through a condom. And having police would breed super villains with laser vision and a third hand so that they can beat their meat while holding a gun and a bag of swag.
Anti-biotics create super bugs because they kill off a broad range of bugs and leave a few behind with no competition. Those that are left behind multiply out of control and become super bugs. They exist in nature but aren't usually a problem because competition keeps their numbers down.
Vaccines don't do that because they're very specifically targeted at a single virus.

I'm surprised no one is putting research into reversing the vaccination. haha

It's none of their business to even ask or know what vaccinations I got or consider to take in future. The same is true for my kid. She's vaccinated but with careful consideration.

IMO I'm skeptical about this vaccine causing the growth of new super viruses.
But I am concerned he is correct that it will cause only one specific antibody to permanently crowd out non specific antibodies, leaving a vaccinated person more susceptible to other infections that they would have otherwise not been susceptible to.
What can you say to address my concerns?
Who exactly are you calling an idiot?
I mean is it all the Doctors with PHD's?

Coronavirus isn't new. It's a well known family of Virus that we've been dealing with since the dawn of time. In fact about 1/3 of what we call the Common Cold are actually Coronavirus. Covid-19 is merely a new strain that's different enough from what came before that our bodies don't recognize it and which is more dangerous than usual. If either of these things weren't true we'd barely even notice Covid-19. It would just be a bad winter cold outbreak somewhere in China that most Americans have never heard of.
I can reassure you by telling you that the mechanism that you are describing is pseudo-science.
Antibodies don't crowd each other out. They are produced in response to a virus and they either kill it or they don't. Once the virus is gone your body stops producing them, and any that are left over are reabsorbed into your body as waste products. So, put simply, there won't be "crowding out" because your body already has a mechanism to prevent that. Having one type of antibody doesn't effect your ability to produce another. If you get a different virus your body will try to fight it the same way regardless of what other vaccines you've had.

Wrong. Once you survive a disease you have antibodies to that disease for life. Their is no reason to vaccinate someone that has survived Covid-19....... Unless the vaccines are for some other reasons. Like profit or genocide.
