    Hi there,
    How should one interpret and respond to the statement below in layman’s terms?
    A very short reply would be much appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Andrew Stoll

    “The bodies of the vaccinated definitely do serve as excellent selection grounds for vaccine-escaping variants because the vaccines do not inhibit viral growth in the nasopharynx and do not inhibit initial infection. (In fact, it is clear that the vaccines actually promote infection in all but those boosted less than about 8 weeks previously.) The bodies of the vaccinated also have immune systems that are focussed on the spike protein rather than the rest of entire virus (and due to “original antigenic sin” a vaccinated person then does not make strong subsequent antibody responses to the rest of the virus if they become infected). Those who become immune through infection (rather than vaccination) have broader antibody responses that make it more difficult for the virus to evolve to escape those.”
