dumb luck, yes :)

what other specific mechanism aside targeting ACE2 does make covid dangerous?

to me it seems they've thrown in every trick they could find in an attempt to be particularly clever:

The modRNA sequence of the vaccine is 4,284 nucleotides long.[126] It consists of a five-prime cap; a five prime untranslated region derived from the sequence of human alpha globin; a signal peptide (bases 55–102) and two proline substitutions (K986P and V987P, designated "2P") that cause the spike to adopt a prefusion-stabilized conformation reducing the membrane fusion ability, increasing expression and stimulating neutralizing antibodies;[44][127] a codon-optimized gene of the full-length spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 (bases 103–3879); followed by a three prime untranslated region (bases 3880–4174) combined from AES and mtRNR1 selected for increased protein expression and mRNA stability[128] and a poly(A) tail comprising 30 adenosine residues, a 10-nucleotide linker sequence, and 70 other adenosine residues (bases 4175–4284).[126] The sequence contains no uridine residues; they are replaced by 1-methyl-3'-pseudouridylyl

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizer%E

afaik, of interest is the poly alpha tail and the uridine replacement. both are to slow down degradation by cellular mechanisms.

one thing i didn't know is that they put "mtRNR1", mitochondrial dna, into the hodgepodge. seems particularly clever to add into something resembling a virus for the immune system to fight against. no wonder all the people have "fatigue" from "long covid" :ok_figet:

> exactly
you probably have damage to your heart, lungs and other organs and have no idea

lung damage would be pretty obvious, don't you think? let's extrapolate from that: i'm fine 💁

> This is just fucking stupid. The virus doesn't need a 'perfect' entry point. Most mucous membranes, and your lungs/throat/gums will do.

jeff ignoring that the mucosal immune system exists
