We keep hearing about the "science" and COVID. I propose a few questions. I ask for the answers and the experimental basis for the answer as available in a peer reviewed professional journal of some repute. Here we go:
What is the cause of COVID-19 infections?
How does the virus attack and propagate in a patient?
How does the virus spread?
Can a patient be asymptomatic?
What are the sequellae from the infection?
What are the demographics for infection and mortality?
What are the autoimmune responses from infection?
What are the autoimmune responses from the vaccine?
If ACE2 receptor is entry point of virus, is there then differences in ACE2 making some more or less vulnerable?
Are the differences in receptor genes related to ethnicity and if so how does this affect virulence?
How long is an infected person contagious?
How high an Ab titer is there post vaccination?
How long is protection from the virus post vaccination?
How broad is the protection of the vaccination in terms of variants?
If a vaccinated person is exposed to the virus, does the virus invade that person?
If the virus invades a vaccinated person, is it limited to the nasopharynx at 94F and remain inactive or does it spread to the lungs at 98.6 F and become active?
Does the expulsion of inactive 94F virions from a vaccinated person have a significant potential for viral infection of unvaccinated?
If a vaccinated person has inactive 94F virions in nasopharynx, how long do they survive there?
If the exposure to the virus is a result of an infected person spreading active virions 98.6F via aerosols, what are the spatio-temporal dynamics of such a spread? Statistically?
What dominates the distance factor for virion spread: individual aspiration, viscosity of the environment, buoyancy?
What are the effects of temperature, humidity, air flow on rate of spread amongst non-infected individuals from an infected person?
"Trust me" is not science. Ex cathedra statements are not science. Experimental and in situ measurements are. So let's have them!
