It’s time for another trip down Epidemiological way. Substack author eugyppius shared a report from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and it’s not great news for the Machine’s ongoing response to COVID.
The severity of Corona infection varies wildly across the population. Children have generally mild or asymptomatic infections, while adults have a wide range of responses. Everyone always assumed that cross-immunity was part of the answer to this conundrum. The problem is that – at least as far as antibodies go – it is shaping up to be a not very reassuring part of that answer. The innate and non-specific immune response of children looks more and more like a big part of the reason they are spared severe infection. Adults with immune systems tightly calibrated to the common human coronaviruses, meanwhile, often have more severe symptoms. They suffer from Original Antigenic Sin.
I take this to mean that the less likely you are to have developed antibodies to previous strains of SARS, the better off you are when it comes to CoV2.
Children have a better natural immunity to COVID19 by virtue of not having had significant previous exposure to previous versions of the flu. I may have that wrong, but that was my take as a layman.
State case data seems to support that.
So, how does that conflate to the almost clickbaity headline?
We know the mRNA vaccines are lousy. High risk (as vaccines go) and low efficacy probably because they create spike proteins designed (at least on paper) to mimic an immune response to the original strain of COVID19.
Based on the research, this would make The Vaccinated™ more susceptible to mutations.
Over 4.2 billion people across the earth have received at least one dose of vaccine against SARS-2. The majority of these vaccines have elicited antibodies only against an early form of the spike protein that is no longer in circulation.
This would seem to be one reason why many western countries with high vaccination rates appear to have locked themselves into an indefinite phase of heightened SARS-2 transmission. In the United Kingdom, 96% of adults have antibodies to the spike protein – most of these first acquired by vaccination. Shortly after they concluded their vaccination campaign, cases skyrocketed, and they have remained high ever since.
So, The Vaccine may be training your body to produce an improper immune response when exposed to weaker variants.
In this case, it seems possible that many vaccinated people will be stuck with permanently suboptimal immune responses. If Omicron is indeed circulating primarily among the vaccinated, as some data suggests, this would seem to be one possibly reason why. These concerns are particularly acute in the case of children, who may well be exposed to the risk of very serious illness in the future, if vaccination permanently misdirects their immune system.
This (IMO) reinforces recent admissions by the FDA/Pfizer (released under the force of law) that there was evidence of Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED), Including Vaccine-associated and Enhanced Respiratory Disease (VAERD) among the vaccinated.
Your immune response based on immunization creates an inadequate or incorrect response to exposure.
This makes even weaker strains more dangerous to the people who got The Jab. It also makes their passports the equivalent of state-sponsored germ warfare terrorism. COVID Carl and catch it and spread it to others who are now more susceptible because they are vaccinated.
And by vaccinating kids who are already more protected without it, you will not only risk harms from the Vaccine itself. You will erase their natural immunity and make them more likely to suffer infection and severe illness.
The usual suspects will refute this, but I guarantee that if this research is accurate as the number of vaccinated kids rises, the number of kids who end up in the hospital or dead from severe illnesses will as well.
And not just kids. The booster is the same crappy juice, so more adults will become more susceptible.
The biggest threat to public health continues not to be the virus but the response.
