Re:Boeing suspends vaccine mandate for U.S. employees by dukeofdoom on Saturday December 18, 2021 @12:30AM (#29601955)
The idea of getting more people sick, seems counter intuitive as a goal of a vaccine.

Correct me if I'm misreading your comment.

Scientists made a vaccine that was by "design" to get:

a) "more people sick with new milder variants."

b) "more people sick with stronger variants"

You're claiming a) if it turns out true. b) makes no sense as a vaccination goal. a) really seems unethical gamble if it turns it's false and we end up with b)

Maybe the result (a) is intended and expected, but is not literally "by design" in that there was no other known way to design it.
