old vaccines: give you a crappy version of a disease and letting your body figure out which antibodies to make to fight it

new vaccines: inject mrna that causes your own body to manufacture a part of the virus that is and then your body gets allergic to it. supposedly you gain antibodies to that part of the virus and your body magically stops using the mrna to generate things you're allergic to. they don't actually understand why injecting the mRNA works because for 50 years they all thought it wouldn't.

the reason this is called an "OS" is because it's generalizable to pretty much every disease: inject something that makes your body recognize a small part of the disease that stimulates your immune system.

in the best case scenario this will indeed cure many diseases -- which is likely why they've been sitting on this since at least the early 90s -- in the worst case scenario a significant fraction of the population develops chronic auto-immune disorders due to their body never turning off the manufacture of the virus parts, causing nonstop inflammation and rejection.

And Bill Gates is the Microsoft guy. Hmm.
