Ooer. I'm not at all familiar with the digestive issues you're describing.

Regarding "will protect any location in your body inc lungs", no. The lungs, nose and throat have their own specialized immune system, because they are effectively external organs, and so the 1st line of defense.

Injection-derived antibodies are basically like giving you a massive, severe infection, triggering blood-based antibodies that have nothing to do with the lungs per se (and antibodies don't do much themselves, they just trigger the immune system to attack).

One great bleating cry of the sheep was the idea that the 'vaccinated' would have a lower viral load, thus be less infectious. I believe many are still pushing that bullshit as the official narrative even now, but at least 2 studies have shown the injected are actually 'superspreaders' and have a HIGHER viral load. If their symptoms are suppressed during the brief period the vaccine actually manages that, it means they're more likely to go to work or go shopping, and spread their super-loads onto others.

In every way shape and form these vaccines have proven dangerous and ineffective, regardless of the 'safe and effective' marketing slogan.

I don't think the public messaging about the immune system seems to refer to is as anything but one fully contiguous system. I'm not familial enough with such details, but I think it would seem somewhat silly and over-simplified as a biological design to be a single layered system. Contrary to this assumption that wants to agree with your point, I do realize that all vaccines, despite their type, are entered into the arm (aside from few nasal sprays). Those are widely accepted to be effective at impacting various viruses known for infecting such many areas of the body like the lungs.

I do think the political messaging that the vaccinated should go out and spread without caution was directly responsible for doubling Covid infections and deaths in America, and maybe be the only reason it is still even around today. It encouraged mutations and it also helped spread Covid to rural areas, despite being largely contained in high population urban travel hubs.

Don't you really lack evidence that the original covid strain mutated much at all? Wouldn't you have a hard time providing me ground truth evidence that omicron is even a coronavirus?

Personally, I have no clue, but the number of independent groups and governments who came to the same conclusion gives me reasonable confidence that the publicized progression of mutations are reliable. (We must keep aware that this type of assumption is vulnerable to a Sybil attack of information sources colluding to provide false information and censoring information that questions or contradicts it.)

Many healthcare groups and governments monitored DNA samples from their infected citizens as the Covid pandemic progressed. The assumption is that infection samples, were compared with prior samples as well as established Covid DNA sequences. This would make it easy to, not only associate by the timing of the infection during the Covid pandemic, but also do specific DNA comparisons of the strain; One would expect many DNA similarities. Many studies analyzed the prevalence, timing, and geographical reach of new strains as they emerged, as well as studying the DNA differences and similarities in depth.
