NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — As we’ve said on many occasions, medical knowledge about the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease it causes is a rapidly evolving science with new and sometimes contradictory studies coming out almost daily. There’s encouraging news about a British vaccine and a new study from Mt. Sinai that supports the vaccine report. Researchers are having promising results with an experimental vaccine being developed by the University of Oxford and the pharmaceutical company Astrazeneca. The study in the Lancet looked at more than 1,000 healthy adults and found the vaccine induced strong antibody and other immune responses. “What this vaccine does particularly well is trigger both arms of the immune system. So in addition to neutralizing antibodies, which other vaccines do, we also see a very strong T-Cell response,” said professor Adrian Hill, Director of the Jenner Institute at Oxford University. That means that both antibodies that can neutralize the COVID-19 virus were produced, as well as T-Cells, which are the primary killers of virus infected cells.
The response lasted at least two months after they were immunized.
In a separate study, researchers at New York’s Mt. Sinai found that more than 90% of infected individuals with mild to moderate COVID-19 make high levels of neutralizing antibodies against the coronavirus and that antibody levels remain high for at least three months.
While these findings will still have to be squared with previous contradictory studies, they are encouraging signs. Oxford and its pharma partner Astrazeneca are proceeding with 10,000 volunteer trails in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. Nick Note: Just when you though it was safe to go to the strip club and get a lap dance. They came along and broke my pole. I read the studies and i wondered why they are making such a big deal out of the T cells. That is a normal responce of all vaccines. The Tcells are the killer cells. And i found buried in the study two things. First in the middle of the study the control group had NO RESPONSE. Si they broke off a sub group and increased the dosage. OK i have seen that a lot. But then they mentioned that they could envision booster shots. WHAT THE FUCK? So then that was when i called my pole dancer friends and said i was sorry and asked if i could i cash in my lap dance tickets……. Here is the deal, I suspect they are burying the fact that immunity only lasts 2 to 3 months and the vaccine will not Not NOT work against mutant strains. So i put away my video camera, took the Dom Perignon out of the fridge and put it back in the cellar. And told my latest girl friend (who will love me forever) she could not come and i was not going to give her any money for her sick mother………
