Fuck off Google! From https://security.googleblog.co... ("Retrofitting Temporal Memory Safety on C++, May 26, 2022"):

auto* foo = new Foo();
delete foo;
// The memory location pointed to by foo is not representing
// a Foo object anymore, as the object has been deleted (freed).
foo->Process();

In the example above, foo is used after its memory has been returned to the underlying system. The out-of-date pointer is called a dangling pointer and any access through it results in a use-after-free (UAF) access. In the best case such errors result in well-defined crashes, in the worst case they cause subtle breakage that can be exploited by malicious actors.

They keep coming up with new names for shooting yourself in the foot in C++, then claiming that "C++ ain't safe". Government Browser. Government Operating System (this includes MacOS, Windows, Linux, Android and others) and now: "thou shall use the government programming language only".
Just fuck off!

The “long-term immunity” does not stem from antibodies. It's the T-killer cells that recognize infected cells and kill them off that make up the long-term memory of the immune system.
Antibodies bind to viruses in the blood, so that they cannot enter cells. This is to slow down an infection while the T-killer lymphocytes are being set up.
People who have had a SARS-CoV-2 infection are immune to all (current) variants. This, because the variants are mostly the same and the immune system recognizes them by many properties, while only few change due to mutation.
As SARS-CoV-2 is a modified (by man) SARS variant, it is only logical that those who had SARS are immune to the new variant already. This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the (not a) vaccine. This injection cannot even provide immunity against SARS-CoV-2. It was never designed to do so! It can only alleviated the symptoms when you get infected by slowing down the virus spread (binding the viruses in the blood, remember?).

The typical “vaccines” (they used to call it a “gene therapy” before) DO NOT provide what is called a “sterile immunity” (=cannot be infected and cannot pass it on).
There are several flaws. For once, the virus is a respiratory virus. This means that it will infect “your breathing apparatus” before getting anywhere near the antibodies. Another major flaw is that you do not have what is called a “T-cell immunity”. That is, the antibodies might bind to viruses in your blood and prevent them from entering a cell, but when only one makes it through (VERY likely), that cell will then produce the virus. This means that there will now be more viruses and if a few make it through, more cells will be producing the virus. You get the idea. In comparison, a “natural immunity” (=T-cell immunity) will send your T-killer-lymphocytes to kill off the infected cells = end of game.
Problem three: The antibodies disappear after a few months. That is, they are getting less and less by the minute.
