Monday, October 14, 2024

Neither vaccinations nor immunity from infections seem to thwart SARS-CoV-2 for long.

Although the vaccines do provide short term protection, the bad news is neither Covid mRNA vaccines nor being infected with Covid provide long term immunity/protection from infection:

"The bad news is the failure of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines themselves"with or without natural infections"to induce LLPCs in the bone marrow," he says. "The good news is this failure itself provides a research opportunity to find a way to change the fate of short-lived vaccines."

The fact that neither the mRNA vaccines nor coming down with Covid provide long term protection seems to explain why people can be infected by Covid multiple times.

@#1 ... Although the vaccines do provide short term protection, the bad news is neither Covid mRNA vaccines nor being infected with Covid provide long term immunity/protection from infection: ...

I read the cited article, and one thing I noticed was that "short-term" was not really defined.

Yeah, there was the nebulous "few months" description.

But what does "few" mean?

2 0r 3?

5 or 6?

Currently, I am waiting 4 months between COVID booster updates.

Is that 4 month period within the "few months" of the article?

Much like when COVID first appeared on the stage back in 2020 (e.g., was it passed on by touch or air?), not enough seems to be known ...

Yup.

It seems that current research is showing that there is a difference between the short-term immunity of the COVID vaccines as compared to the long-term immunity presented by the, e.g. polio vaccines.

imo, this is a good thing.

Recognizing a deficiency and then trying to eliminate that deficiency.

Even Fauci isn't getting regular (every 4 month) boosters. And he makes a dollar for every shot.

Most people I know who're over the age of 50 and got the shot, ended up getting COVID and nearly dying.

I wouldn't put that ---- in my body for any amount of compensation.

The cure for the common cold remains elusive.

My shot is scheduled for noon today.

I went about 2 years between my last shot and this newest one. In that time, I'm pretty sure I had a mild case of covid. I think I've had it twice. And I still attribute the mild cases to having been vaccinated.

Not that all of the unvaccinated died, but all of the people I know who died of the virus had not been vaccinated. Every one of them refused the shot.

We already know you're brain damaged. But you do you.

I've never had a case of Covid. What I have had is myocarditis right after I had my first and only booster. My initial vaccine was the two shot Pfizer routine and I had no major ill effects. I don't remember what the booster was, but I know it wasn't Pfizer.

The only good thing about covid was how many republicans killed themselves to prove it's not real.

Despite the Biden/Harris great replacement open borders policy, there are more Republicans than ever before.

Sounds like magical thinking, given the article says that the vaccine protection quickly wanes.
