Reply to comment by shiruken in The bivalent mRNA boosters from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were 48% effective against symptomatic infection from the predominant omicron subvariant (XBB/XBB.1.5) in persons aged 18-49 years according to early data published by the CDC by shiruken
Assuming the remaining 52% is coming from mutation and not time since booster or other factors.

Perhaps any real intelligence would downplay how intelligent it was thus presenting a plateau to human observers as a means of protecting itself.

It's just heuristics, statistics, and hysterics.

Perhaps the real test was whether they would be identifiable as fake.

Nothing unless you rebrand it as a vaccine to downplay the risks. As I understand this is not a gene therapy though, it is a vaccine to trigger immune response against proteins uniquely expressed on the surface of cancer cells. The risk would be the proteins are not as unique as you thought and you become autoimmune.

Antivaxxers would probably refuse the vaccine. Covid antivaxxers would probably want to see long term data and oppose mandates.
