The sinovac vaccine appears to be the only one using actual (dead) virus to trigger immune response.
Yeah, but it's Chinese, so I have zero trust in it.
aka: one of the oldest and simplest methods of vaccination.
reduced effectiveness in comparison to the others, but I bet it won't kill anyone.
My speculation is that it produces a larger spectrum of defenses too. All the others focus on one single protein, meaning the virus could (in theory) mutate to no longer use that protein and the vaccines would be useless.
Bingo. Infinite lockdowns. Think about they already talk about the UK or South African strain.
Get a new strain and it is "oh no. Lockdowns again until we can get another vaccine produced."
Just FYI, any vaccine that's a viral vector vaccine (the J&J, Sputnik and Astra-Zeneca ones) is an mRNA vaccine that just uses a virus particle to deliver the mRNA.
I was thinking the same. All of them are variations on the same theme of "hacking" the human body in a way that has never been tried before on this scale.
OK, a "traditional vaccine" ("live attenuated") could be viewed, perhaps, as a "hacking" of the human body, but it is introducing an external stimulus identical too/very very similar to an actual infection, whereas these other "vaccines" are attempting to deliver instructions to our cells. To say that we understand how our cells work well enough to speak the language of our cells fluently to our cells... that is sophistry. We do not know enough to do this, in my view, and not suffer unintended consequences.
The Sinovac one would be the only one I would consider taking, not that I would take any. The good old fashion way is best.
Oxford/Astrazeneca, Sinovac, and Sputnik all use the same technology (I'm not sure why the chart uses different words to describe them). Sputnik uses two different adenoviruses to avoid the body's immune response to the first adenovirus spoiling the immune response to the payload on the second dose; Oxford doesn't (and may be less effective as a result). This is irrelevant for J&J because it's one dose.
Not that we'll ever see anything like this in shot happy America,
