Prophylactic vaccines are for use in…a conventional prophylactic setting, NOT in a pandemic setting 

• Prophylactic vaccines should be administered before infectious exposure to: - ensure full-fledged protection - prevent exacerbation of disease (cfr. Ebola – ring vaccination) - prevent immune escape and hence, enhanced infectiousness or even, resistance to the vaccine 

• Several cases of severe disease due to highly infectious variants have already occurred in young people

• Several cases of fully Covid-19 vaccinated people shedding highly infectious variants have already been reported (some of which have even developed mild symptoms) 

Aren’t these cases compelling enough to demonstrate how easily Covid-19 viruses can escape host immunity? 

General Rule: Virus replication on background of suboptimal immune response enables immune escape of highly mutable viruses.
