First about my doctor who is an OD doctor.
Is an OD as good as an MD?
Both DOs and MDs are good doctors with professional training. A lot of their training is very similar, and both types of doctor use technology like X-rays and prescriptions. If you went to an MD and a DO, you probably wouldn't notice a lot of differences. In fact, you might not be able to tell the difference at all.Jul 18, 2024
Statement made by a person posting here as put to my doctor.
I copied this totally to forward it to Dr. Cheney.
Dr. Cheney will you read the following and give me your take and advice on getting vaccinated again for CV19?
Robert Whitmore
The new Covid vaccine from MIT solves two problems at once.
First, it is a traditional vaccine, using dead virus, or at least parts of the dead virus that have been removed from the viral capsule. (In this case, the spike protein).
Second, it uses a scaffolding of DNA to prevent the cytokine storm from the immune reaction. The DNA is structured to "mimic" an intact virus, but does not elicit an immune response by itself.
Technically this invention is a new form of "particulate vaccine". It requires knowledge of the antigen conformation in advance. Which, in the case of Covid, was known 30 days after the outbreak.

DNA particles that mimic viruses hold promise as vaccines
Using a DNA-based delivery particle, researchers created a vaccine that can induce a strong antibody response against SARS-CoV-2.

Dr. Cheney replied to me:
Bob,
This appears to be ongoing research as there are many people and researchers still investigating COVID and the best techniques for future vaccinations. I would recommend to stay up-to-date on vaccinations of COVID-19 with the approved vaccines. These are available at the pharmacy and I would recommend to get this done and stay up-to-date. As far as in the future if there is any further approved COVID vaccines we can look at them at that time but I would not recommend taking any medications/vaccines that have not been FDA approved.
Dr. Cheney
I told the person saying what I sent to Cheney I would ask my doctor.
