Please don't promote her conspiracy theories here. Just from a quick look at the specific post you showed, here are a few obvious flaws. RNA and DNA are not metallic. There's a big difference between a positive charge and "hosting electromagnetic fields." Cationic lipids are not a new strange thing. They are a delivery mechanism. For example, they are essential to some cancer drugs. They are certainly not electronic nanotechnology. They can't be electronic. They can't be metallic. The way vaccines work is to present the immune system with either an attenuated pathogen (dangerous, the reason the oral polio vaccine was abandoned when the injected one with killed virus came along) or a non-pathogenic piece of what we want to teach the immune system to recognize and attack (only a piece, much safer and the approach taken by most COVID vaccines including the mRNA jabs). The fact that all the COVID vaccines do that is not treachery, it's science. Nanotechnology is a word for indicating the size of something. It isn't inherently good or bad. There's more--bits of science are dropped in out of context and then couched in twisted, distorted surroundings. The article counts on readers not to understand science and therefore not know where distortions occur. This week I've got a big review meeting for a project that uses nanotech, so I don't have more time to spend on this. But the article completely fails my screening for validity. I wrote last November about how I do that.

If they develop a vaccine to prevent infection I hope they can do that with the common cold as well. I get acute bronchitis most of the time when I get a cold. I’m glad there are still people trying to do better with our understanding of and protection from COVID. Thanks for your research and articles.

We seem to be on threshold of a big step-change in what we can do with vaccines. A couple of decades of work toward a vaccine against HIV provided the tools to be able to produce a vaccine against COVID in record time. Like many vaccines, it isn't able to prevent infection but helps many people get through the infection better. Now I'm seeing rapid progress toward multiple other vaccines: malaria, dengue (breakbone) fever, certain types of cancer, etc. Some are to reduce severity of disease, some to prevent infection, some to treat disease. The common cold is a big ask, being caused by so many different viruses. But progress is coming along much faster than it did before COVID. Maybe someday you'll get your wish.

Thank you. I sometimes wonder whether I should say much about the pandemic, but then when I look at statistics, the most heavily read posts are those!
