Why is it luck? They all result in exposing the body to the exact same spike protein. We would have to be dangerously wrong about what the vaccines do for them

Why is it luck? They all result in exposing the body to the exact same spike protein. We would have to be dangerously wrong about what the vaccines do for them to not work fine together.
- refurb 5y agoIt’s not the exact same spike protein.
- bserge 5y agoEven better? Immune system learns of two (slightly) different ones, making immunity more robust.
- refurb 5y agoThat’s the logic, and the argument why actual infection with Covid produces an even better immune response than mixed vaccines. But that’s by no means a guaranteed outcome. Mixed vaccines could have resulted in mediocre immune response to two different spike protein profiles.
- Causality1 5y agoThe differences are stabilizers intended to prevent conversion of the labile form of the S protein. If the vaccines didn't work together then one or both of them wouldn't work at all.
