spybertfinely[m]: the "white people as a social construct" thing doesn't fly in biology.  A bit of data mining on the human genome will quickly give you a cluster of genes identifying the group in question.  It is indeed possible to create a bioweapon to attack such a group.  However, the covid-19 virus does not appear to be anything like that.09:48

finely[m]<spybert "finely: the "white people as a s"> "Humans are not divided biologically into distinct continental types or racial genetic clusters. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination. It thus does not have its roots in biological reality, but in policies of discrimination."10:45

de-factoLjL, i am not sure, all of them encode the same version of the spike-glycoprotein (so far no variants), but they have different codon optimizations and they have different prefix and postfix code22:30
de-factothe prefix and postfix code determines something like the translation frequency and also how many times it can be translated to proteins until it gets trashed22:30
de-factoso it might very well be that those differences may reflect that "translation" efficiency and result roughly in the same amount of s-protein, but that is my speculation on it22:31
de-factoalso it might be that they employed different metrics or goals in their phase 1/2 dose escalation studies22:32
de-factoLjL, i guess one could search that dose escalation and determination study for mRNA-1273 they probably have 1/10th dose in there22:33

de-factoNeutralization responses: "The lowest responses were in the 25-μg dose group, with a geometric mean ID50 of 112.3 (95% CI, 71.2 to 177.1) at day 43; the higher responses in the 100-μg and 250-μg groups were similar in magnitude (geometric mean ID50, 343.8 [95% CI, 261.2 to 452.7] and 332.2 [95% CI, 266.3 to 414.5], respectively, at day 43)."23:59
de-factoso i guess they went for saturation while limiting reactogenicity23:59
