Can someone here create a "COVID-19 vaccine" category (as a subcategory of COVID-19)? Randall has been posting a lot of vaccine-related comics recently.

I don't think the description as it is right now is very accurate. It seems to be stating that the spike protein is a normal protein normally produced by humans, rather than a protein used by SARS-CoV-2 (and likely other similar viruses (virii?) to aid in their infection. In this case, beret guy has gotten an MRNA vaccine (either Moderna or Pfizer), so has given his cells the recipe to make this spike protein for themselves, until the immune system realizes it shouldn't be there.

I'm a bit suprised there was no Ever Given comic... [[Special:Contributions/162.158.111.161|162.158.111.161]] 13:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC) | I'm a bit suprised there was no Ever Given comic... [[Special:Contributions/162.158.111.161|162.158.111.161]] 13:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC) | ||

:(Srsly, though, if the sufficient dose of inspiration hasn't happened - and it's not his usual geek-out topic - then it's no more likely to be mentioned than (say) Brexit issues seriously messing with exports, especially of foodstuffs. And I think the US is largely proof from Suez (or Channel) cargo movements, so may not be on the radar. Chip shortages, etc, are likely from C19 disruptions, not from the otherwise unaffected trans-Pacific shipping.)

+ | Without information, nobody knows which part needs fixing. If anyone knows why this is incomplete, please post the reason here or, even better, in the incomplete tag. If nobody can provide a satisfactory answer, maybe we should consider removing the incomplete tag. '''Note that I am posting this exact same text on other comics of questionable incompleteness. It's not spamming, it's a conscious attempt to clean this category up.'''

:It's marked as "incomplete" because it's new and still under active revision. I don't know if there's a formal criterion set down anywhere, but I don't think it would be appropriate to remove that tag from any page that's been repeatedly edited in the previous ten days or so. [[User:BunsenH|BunsenH]] ([[User talk:BunsenH|talk]]) 18:33, 6 April 2021 (UTC) EDIT: I find it especially eyebrow-raising when someone edits a page ''and'' removes that tag at the same time. If I edit a page, I ''want'' at least one more pair of eyeballs to check what I've done. As opposed to the implied "Now that I have made my changes, the page is in its final form." | :It's marked as "incomplete" because it's new and still under active revision.

::Agree with the above user. This text is always placed when a comic is new and is not usually removed for a few days (or even longer). Also, although you say that "this is not spamming", it feels like spamming if you place this exact same text on multiple comics, without even having a real discussion on why a comic is incomplete.

Sorry, I don't know if this is the right format for this, but it seems that not only does Beret Guy often misunderstand, he also has superpowers. Making a life-sized spike protein would classify as that to me.
