New Study Finds Even a Mild COVID Infection Leaves Long-Lasting Immunity
Not all COVID news prophesies the doom of humanity and the collapse of civilization.
From the beginning of the pandemic, the fear of waning or non-existent immunity loomed large over the establishment media. The fact that they were contradicting long-standing immunology didn't matter — they were making money.
The
widespread fear drove Bloomberg columnist Andreas Kluth to claim that "we're in for seemingly endless cycles of outbreaks and remissions, social restrictions and relaxations, lockdowns and reopenings."
Fortunately for our civil liberties, it appears that Kluth and all the other establishment media fearmongers were dead wrong.
A study published Monday in Nature by researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that
even mild or asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 can leave behind lasting immunity — immunity that would guard against repeated infections for most people.
"Last fall, there were reports that antibodies wane quickly after infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, and mainstream media interpreted that to mean that immunity was not long-lived," said senior author Ali Ellebedy, an associate professor of pathology and immunology, of medicine and of molecular microbiology.
"But that's a
misinterpretation of the data," Ellenbedy claimed.
"It's normal for antibody levels to go down after acute infection, but they don't go down to zero; they plateau. Here, we found antibody-producing cells in people 11 months after first symptoms. These cells will live and produce antibodies for the rest of people's lives.
That's strong evidence for long-lasting immunity."...
