Do you actually think calling people names makes your posts more credible?
It actually only demonstrates your total lack of character and indicates something has been mentioned that you don't have a good response for.
This OAS phenomena IS well known by people in vaccine development as it relates to flu vaccines .... and now also Covid ..... Which makes a person wonder why they want to keep doing more and more booster shots.
It is NOT well know to the average person who has heard over and over again that the vaccines are still very effective against the variants and the vaccine and boosters are recommended.
The truth is that the current vaccines actually cause a person to have a worse immune response to the variants than the unvaccinated .... that was the quote from the study.
This is also made apparent by looking at how places like Hong Kong, Israel and the UK where they are being ravaged by Omicron as compared to places with lower vaccination rates .... They have both been doing the 4th dose.
Well, moron how do you think this arises with the interaction between B cells and T cells? Please explain it to me in detail.
The big fault in your premise is that if OAS, or as now called antigenic seniority, is indeed occurring the solution would have been for everyone to fully comply with ALL restrictive measures and everyone vaccinate right away. It is the spitting off of numerous variants that is causing the problem.
You are assuming this phenomenon, if it is occurring, occurs only as a result of a vaccine. However, people are also exposed to the antigen when they are naturally infected. So when people do not take precautions and are getting repeatedly infected even though not showing symptoms they are creating setting the groundwork for this. The only difference is that with the vaccine, you are getting an antigen exposure without risking your life.
I know you want to make this about the vaccine but it isn't. It is about this particular virus, our immune system's response to the antigens in this virus and the fact that we are getting numerous variants. It is the perfect storm made far worse by anti-vaxxers and ivermectin proponents.
Does it diminish the vaccines and set us up for far more deaths? Yes, theoretically, if it is happening, yes, but that is not due to a vaccine. We will only know after we see more variants and see how people respond to the new vaccines. Right now, we don't know. What is happening in western Europe right now appears to be Omicron 2 and the first Omicron gave no meaningful protection. This appears to be true whether people were vaccinated or not. Anyone who says they know what is happening is lying. Again it remains significant that the vaccinated crowd continues to do much better with regard to hospitalization and death.
