A great deal of confusion has been created, because scientists talk about the “new virus” as if they understand its structure and genetic sequence.
No.
They’ve built a hypothetical structure, AS DATA. Nothing more. And then they gibber about what it means.
My understanding is that they used massively parallel sequencing.

This is like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle by taking a picture of the piles of pieces
and giving it to a computer. You don't actually put the puzzle together.
Then they created a computer generated spike formula -- a virtual spike protein --
and physically printed the mRNA that would generate it.
They inject it in you. Your body generates the synthetic spike protein and makes antibodies against it.
You don't get antibodies against the whole virus. You don't get antibodies against the real spike protein. You get antibodies against the synthesized virtual spike protein, hoping that it will stop the virus.
