The biggest COVID lie right now: No immunity from prior infection

[WorthyBot]

As more and more studies have come out showing that prior infection confers long-lasting immunity – not just the 90 days we are told by the government – the purveyors of panic and tyranny have sought to use the focus on several supposedly new variants to deny the presumed immunity from prior infection. However, a new comprehensive study from Harvard Medical School and Boston University researchers should put this latest myth to rest.

The researchers took blood samples from people who had the virus from March 3 to April 1, 2020, long before the new variants were discovered, which allowed them to presume they all had the original Wuhan strain. They found the S-specific memory B cells “conferring robustness against emerging SARS-CoV2 variants” – the U.K. (B117) & South African (B1351) variants.

“Loss of protection against overt or severe disease is not an inevitable consequence of a waning serum antibody titer,” wrote the authors. “This atlas of B cell memory therefore maps systematically a crucial component of the long-term immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.”

In other words, the inherent immune system full of B cells (in addition to T cells) provides robust immunity not just long after the antibody titers wane from the original infection, but also against emerging strains of the virus.

*sighs* 

Some personal thoughts..

1.  Firstly ..  no offence intended..  but I don't understand the purpose of this thread title..?

2.  As far as I know.. it is not known for certain how long any immunity lasts for those who have had Covid.

3. The UK and South African variants are not the only variants that exist in the world.. and there is possibility more variants might emerge over time in future.

4.  If I am not mistaken.. the particular Harvard study mentioned in the OP appears to have studied the blood of 19 people who may have had Covid last year.....  19 people.... Not hundreds or thousands of people.  But nineteen.

  ie It appears to be a small study.  Which is fine.  And still very very  important.  But might need more research too perhaps?

5.  ..IF... If.. it turns out that folk who have had Covid do have long lasting immunity even to some of the current Covid variants..  this is really good news..   

And perhaps might help free up some of the currently limited supplies of vaccines so perhaps more people might be able to get vaccinated if they wish? 

 

Regardless....  I am sorry but I still don't understand the reason for this thread OP?

What is the purpose of this thread?

Thanks.

That's a good question.

A few more thoughts ..  

The title of this thread starts off with the words... "The biggest COVID lie right now  ..

But to me..  the biggest COVID lies right now.. are things such as that Covid supposedly does not exist.. Or that it is less dangerous than most normal yearly flu.. etc etc.... 

Those are the types of misinformation that can potentially cause a LOT of harm.. or perhaps even deaths.. if some people don't take this virus seriously enough..

 

Just some personal thoughts that's all.

Thanks for listening /reading.
