    Not randoms. People commenting on the article you shared and yes other articles with similar takes. The article you shared accuses/implies Boston University was doing a gain of function study, or in other words trying purposefully to make a deadlier virus. They are not. They are working to understand it better so they can stop it.

    The original strain killed more mice actually then this "new" mix of the original and Omicron.

    This article and others like it are making it sound like they are concocting a new variant and it's going to get out. It's fearmongering.

    All boosted in my family....ready to survive the next wave of covid this winter again......no real after effects at all...arm was slightly sore the night after my shot...other than that nothing uncomfortable...feel better about taking care of my two grandsons now. Get boosted and protect your coworkers, family, neighbors and friends!

    Been boosted. So was everyone at my dinner part last Saturday. And since we are all neighbors, no one had to drive, and we went through two bottles of wine. Convivial.

    OK, Dr Microbiologists, tell us how it "really" works since you know so much more.

    I understand perfectly how it works....not getting sick protects your close ones as well as yourself..for the record, I've followed my doctors recommendations and to this day have stayed covid free. Scientific method has saved millions of lives over this pandemic. Choices. I also wash my hands regularly for the same reason.

    Got my Covid booster today. They went from extremely easy to get at the VA to extremely difficult. Igot lucky when a nurse overheard my difficulty in getting the shot before December and gave me the shot right there.

    No one would have gotten banned from Twitter for posting an SNL video.
