Counterpoint to this is when they actually looked at the antibody response for people vaccinated with mRNA it's really consistent, especially compared to the antibody response from people with prior infection.

I think this is the variability that people should be focusing on.

Even if the body's response from the mRNA is variable, there is only a certain amount of mRNA in the vaccine. Your body isn't going to produce any more (at least not with the mRNA vaccine). Your DNA simply isn't capable of doing that.

In comparison, who the heck knows how any individual might respond to the ACTUAL virus. I know the risk is lower the younger a person is, but I certainly don't want to be the 40-something to appears to be perfectly healthy only to end up on a ventilator and possibly die from covid.

The vaccines are much more predictable than the virus itself.
