Re: Coronavirus
You are asking what website is that? - do you mean the one I posted a link to in the post, and named as "the British Society for Immunology"?
There is nothing in your linked article that supports your proposition - the parts that mention immunity state
Quote:
You get a broader immune response after being infected with the virus than vaccination.
Whether you've had Moderna or Pfizer or Oxford-AstraZeneca, your body is learning to spot just one thing - the spike protein.
This is the critical part of the virus to make antibodies to, and the results - by keeping most out of hospital - have been spectacular.
But having the other 28 proteins to target too, would give T-cells far more to go at.
"That means if you had a real humdinger of an infection, you may have better immunity to any new variants that pop up as you have immunity to more than just spike," said Prof Riley.
|
So you have had to have had a serious bout of COVID to have "better" immunity (which is what the "immune response" section on the image in my post said) - only two problems with that; 1) if you have a serious bout of COVID, you’ve probably been hospitalised (with the concomitant risk of death), and 2), as you have frequently stated, most people who catch it only have a mild case. As the article states
Quote:
there is a huge gulf in antibodies between those who are asymptomatic (who don't make very much) and those who get a severe bout of Covid.
|
You can’t have it both ways - if people have had a mild case, they won’t have "better" immunity.
btw, this is a recent tweet from Professor Finn (one of the Profs mentioned in the BBC article).

I would not question this desirability of getting vaccinated. My point is that once you have had the vaccination and it has taken effect, being exposed to the virus is not something to be discouraged.
However, it is worth pointing out that even the scientists are disagreeing about how to deal with this virus, and so quoting a particular scientist or a particular medical body doesn’t actually prove anything.
Even the World Health Organisation doesn’t come out of this looking pretty.

Schools have been back 2 weeks now, no major increase in cases. Which btw is a pretty irrelevant metric as you can catch COVID regardless of vaccination status.
The two metrics that are important are Deaths, which have remained pretty steady for the past 3-4 weeks and hospitalisation which has been going down steadily for the past 3 weeks.
Vaccines work, people catch COVID but brush it off as nothing more than a usual cough/cold, as I have done recently.
Looking forward to a normal Christmas and 2022 ……rest of my life.
Feel sorry for Australians though, they truly are living under the jackboot of government oppression.
Golf booked for Tenerife in a fortnight……..get in.

Re: Coronavirus
My point, agreeing with OB, is you’ll find scientists who can say anything depending on who is funding them.
Comedy Carl Heneghan, that Gupta woman and others pushing the Great Barrington Declaration are scientists. Who is funding them to spread misinformation? Who knows. But OB’s general point about scientists was correct. They shouldn’t be held up as oracles or in absolute terms as correct without understanding their motives first. Same for anyone on Government payroll - many are engaging in PR, not science.
