  Tricky, I’m no doctor but I think she’s not exactly incorrect. It isn’t ‘normal’ for us to have vaccines, etc, as vaccines are a -relatively- new thing for humans.

  (However, it is better to have them than not.)

  This is a “welllllll…she’s technically correct” situation. The problem I have is how she’s framing the issue and if I was her boss, or whatever, I would definitely be on to her to get an explanation of why she’s framing it in an apparently negative way.

    They were new in the 1700s. They are not a new thing for humans today. If you don’t use vaccines you are an outlier to modern society.

    Devils Advocate here…

    Hypothetically she is right. Making elevated levels of antibodies long after a vaccination or exposure may not be normal…

    Now on the flip side, other things that aren’t normal. Air conditioning, 99% of children surviving past their first birthday, solar panels. Just because something isn’t “normal” doesn’t mean that it is bad.

    It could also be that we’re being constantly exposed to COVID in 2025 since we failed to contain or eradicate it, and the population never got up to herd-immunity level vaccination rates. Which would explain why the immune system is still making spike protein antigens.

    I’m also doubtful about the levels of spike protein antibodies she is claiming, I’d bet that there isn’t a peer reviewed article that supports that claim.
