A precedent-setting study on natural immunity was published in Cell on July 14, 2021. The study finds that natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is comprehensive and durable, with persisting antibody responses, robust memory B cell recognition and T cell immunity. The study followed 254 covid patients for eight months and measured immune markers in their … Continue reading GREAT NEWS: Natural immunity to coronavirus is comprehensive and DURABLE – study
The role of vaccinations in India’s SURGING death rate can no longer be denied
Rotting corpses are washing up in record numbers along the banks of the Ganges, a major river that flows through India and Bangladesh. Just a week ago, a total of seventy-one bodies washed up just outside the Chausa village. The locals in Uttar Pradesh found dozens of dead bodies when they went to the river … Continue reading The role of vaccinations in India’s SURGING death rate can no longer be denied
Young adults who previously contract Wuhan coronavirus are unprotected against reinfection – study
Young adults who previously contract the Wuhan coronavirus and subsequently recover are not protected against potential reinfection, according to a study. Findings suggest that the presence of antibodies after the initial infection is not enough to prevent later reinfections. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai looked at data obtained from more than 3,000 healthy members of … Continue reading Young adults who previously contract Wuhan coronavirus are unprotected against reinfection – study
New coronavirus variants in California reduce immune response from vaccines and therapies
Two new Wuhan coronavirus variants circulating in California may reduce antibodies produced in response to the pathogen. Their higher reproductive rate has led them to become the dominant variants circulating in the state. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has named them a “variant of concern” alongside similar strains found in Great Britain, South Africa and Brazil. Scientists … Continue reading New coronavirus variants in California reduce immune response from vaccines and therapies
Most coronavirus patients develop “neutralizing antibodies” after recovery, but are they enough to head off another infection?
A new study led by a team from The Rockefeller University in New York City suggests that most people infected with Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) develop antibodies after they recover. But there’s a caveat: The team reveals that only some of these antibodies have the ability to neutralize the coronavirus. The immunological study looked at 149 people and found that while the … Continue reading Most coronavirus patients develop “neutralizing antibodies” after recovery, but are they enough to head off another infection?
