  1. He's also a politician, not a physician or scientist, with any training in vaccinology, epidemiology, immunology, or virology. Who cares what another talking head has to say?

  2. No, the virus is not mutating in the vaccinated. Mutation can only occur when the virus replicates, and little to no replication occurs in vaccinated individuals. And, looking at the genomic mapping, the virus is most likely to have arisen in Botswana. Southeast Asia is also doing a lot of sequencing, and when you compare the genome, of this new variant, to the genomes circulating in Asia, the idea it arose there is absurd. It clearly arose in southern Africa, although probably not South Africa.

  3. How is something, designed to stimulate the adaptive immune system, against a particular set of epitopes, not a vaccine?
