Logically i would have thought the opposite would have happened, since natural immunity is mostly to the nucleus protein (difficult to mutate), and vaccine immunity is based on the spike protein (easy to mutate). I would have thought any pa

I've never heard of any theories that earth like conditions are new or unique, in fact half of all stars like ours are over 9 billion years old. And the universe has almost stopped making new stars. If you believe it takes, on average

If we are the first, then its likely the 'great filter' is behind us. And it means we will never find life that isn't related to us.

What you are proposing is a great filter of confounding variable and diminishing returns. You really think these limitations are so overwhelming that practically no civilization could expand exponentially? Cause that's what you nee

The idea is to make the poor and working classes pay for it, being regressive everyone pays the same, taxes are progressive, the more you earn the more you pay. Government set the licence fee and legislation around it every 5 or 6 years.

I read that the immune system doesn't usually produce antibodies for the spike protein when fighting the virus, i think it was a membrane protein that was more commonly targeted, and we didn't understand why.

Not the OP, but this is an interesting question; So you'd have to save at least 72k per year for 35 years. That would put you on the 45% tax in my country so you'd have to make 131k to be left with 72k after tax. Maybe +30k to
