Early in the scamdemic, I tried to contact medical doctors to ask if the following procedure could be a way to immunize against covid: Withdraw some blood from a person, inoculate it with a few covid "cells", let the person's immune system (at least what is in blood) develop antibodies to it, kill off the virus in the blood sample, then inject it back into the person, where they would have antibodies ready if needed in the future. I got no response from about 3 or 4 attempts (contacting medical research facilities). Now, I'm thinking, what would happen if just 2 or 3 covid "cells" were injected into a person? Since it is a respiratory virus, wouldn't it easily be taken care of when in the blood, resulting in antibodies that could fight it if it ever was introduced into the respiratory system? I hope someone here has some expertise/insight on this idea.

Not a doctor or biology expert, but that's generally how vaccines work. You insert an inactive virus so that the important pieces are floating around in the body, but it can't do anything (I believe a risk of this method is that a live virus can occasionally slip into the vaccines). The body recognizes it as a foreign intruder, attacks it, and records information about so that it will recognize it more easily in the future and be faster with it's defense.
