Man has taken God’s place. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
German weekly journal DIE ZEIT reports on „The final vaccination against Corona” (“Die wirklich letzte Impfung gegen Corona”). Scientists are working on universal vaccination against all Corona viruses. I have no doubt that most of them are doing this with the best of intentions, but to understand that this will turn out badly, you only have to look at the beginning and the end.
In the beginning there is… the opening of Pandemra’s box:
Man müsse sich ein besseres Bild davon verschaffen, wie die Coronaviren aussähen, die gegenwärtig in der Wildnis zirkulierten, erklärte kürzlich der Epidemiologe und Experte für Impfstoffentwicklung, Wayne Koff. Konkret bedeutet das, in Fledermaushöhlen und bei anderen Wildtieren möglichst viele Proben zu nehmen.
Translation:
In order to gain an overview on current wild Coronaviruses, we need to take as many samples as possible in bat caves and from other animals.
In the end there is… trial and error:
Außerdem bleibt die Frage, wie man die Wirksamkeit messen will bei einem Impfstoff, der primär dafür entwickelt wurde, gegen neu auftretende Varianten oder – bei der nächsten Pandemie – ein ganz neues Virus anzutreten. "Letztlich kann man nur im Labor messen, wie gut die Neutralisation ist", sagt Sander.
Translation:
In order to determine efficacy of a new vaccine against an equally new virus, we can only rely on measurement of neutralisation in a laboratory.
So, we will stroll through the bat caves of the world, collecting all kinds of stuff that should have been left in the dark. In order to make the viruses found more interesting, we will adapt, recombine, experiment. Vaccines will be developed and tested for virus neutralisation in a laboratory. Exciting news about efficacy will be published, and without further ado, the whole world will be vaccinated.
And this is how it ends. For since by man came the resurrection of the dead, by man came also death.
