Super Immunity?

From a write up in StudyFinds.org

” Breakthrough cases of COVID-19 are becoming more common as new variants like Delta and Omicron emerge. While that may seem like bad news for vaccinated Americans, a new study finds there’s a silver lining to this problem. Researchers from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have discovered that breakthrough COVID cases among vaccinated individuals actually leads to them developing “super immunity” to future COVID variants.”

After testing blood samples from fifty-two individuals, all of whom had been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 with the Pfizer shot, the researchers discovered more than half had experienced breakthrough infections, subsequently experiencing mild symptoms. Most of the infections were determined to have been from the Delta variant, which is already known to have greater transmissibility, but weaker virulence than the original strain.

However, the researchers credited the prior vaccinations for the milder symptoms, rather than acknowledging unvaccinated people infected with the Delta variant also have milder symptoms, almost indistinguishable from those among the already vaccinated.

With a remarkable lack of self-awareness, senior author Fikadu Tafesse, Ph.D., assistant professor of molecular microbiology and immunology in the OHSU School of Medicine said “You can’t get a better immune response than this. These vaccines are very effective against severe disease. Our study suggests that individuals who are vaccinated and then exposed to a breakthrough infection have super immunity.”

Again, the starting point for these researchers wasn’t the innate or adaptive immune systems possessed by all human beings, but rather the mRNA-adjusted systems of the vaccinated. By starting in the wrong place, they draw an incongruous conclusion - that immunity AFTER a breakthrough infection is somehow superior to naturally acquired immunity stemming from an original illness - thus upending the basic foundations of immunology.

Until the unnatural marriage of vaccine peddling pharmaceutical companies with supposed “public health” alphabet agencies, naturally acquired immunity (stemming from surviving an infectious agent) was the gold standard of all immunity. Our immune system not only recognizes the reappearance of a pathogen already defeated, but its memory can also last for decades, as seen in the life-long immunity among survivors of the Spanish Flu pandemic.

Moreover, our natural system can evaluate and isolate new variations, very quickly categorizing them appropriately and responding with great strength. Vaccine-induced immunity (which we have now discovered, at least among these new mRNA vaccines, doesn’t actually exist) quickly wanes, leaving the vaccinated person vulnerable to both the original illness and all new variations, resulting in the breakthrough infections that were never supposed to occur.

What these wizards of smart at the Oregon Health & Science University have discovered, is indeed miraculous and of singular importance. By an unnecessarily circuitous route, they’ve stumbled upon the foundation of Immunology 101, the existence and efficacy of the natural human immune system.

Now, researchers from the University of Zurich are reporting prior exposure to mild coronaviruses actually provides a certain degree of immunity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19.

“People who have had strong immune responses to other human coronaviruses also have some protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection,” explains Alexandra Trkola, head of the Institute of Medical Virology at UZH, in a university release.

Coronaviruses are not new, they are the basis of the common cold, and humans are infected with largely harmless varieties countless times throughout their life. What the Zurich scientists are discussing is called “cross-reactivity,” where a previous related infection can trigger a more robust response to a new infection of a similar type of pathogen, in this case, a coronavirus.

Studying the cross-reactivity of other coronaviruses led to the revelation that people with lots of antibodies for harmless coronaviruses are much less likely to develop serious COVID-19 symptoms requiring hospitalization upon infection.

Trkola adds, “Our study shows that a strong antibody response to human coronaviruses increases the level of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. So, someone who has gained immunity to harmless coronaviruses is therefore also better protected against severe SARS-CoV-2 infections.”

“Of course, immune responses targeting SARS-CoV-2 that are mounted by the memory cells are far more effective than cross-reactive responses. But even though the protection isn’t absolute, cross-reactive immune responses shorten the infection and reduce its severity. And this is exactly what is also achieved through vaccination, just much, much more efficiently,” she concludes. (Emphasis mine)

Again, one wouldn’t think it would take a tremendous amount of post-graduate schooling to realize the power of naturally-acquired immunity, but the second half of the statement is stunning in what it reveals; the vaccinations for Covid-19 aren’t vaccinations in the usual sense, generating an immunity approaching the efficiency of one following recovery from the illness, these shots merely mimic the far weaker effect of cross-reactivity, which we already have from having suffered through numerous colds over our lifetimes.

Given the balance of risk/reward for accepting an experimental genetic therapy to achieve, at best, the immunity one would generate from conquering a snotty nose and scratchy throat, it appears these researchers have made the case against widespread vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.

Boy! Thank God for science! <insert eye-roll here> ;)
