All 3 COVID-19 vaccines still produce strong immune response 8 months later, new study finds
ABC News ^ | 15 October 2021 | Sony Salzman

Posted on 10/16/2021 1:41:50 AM PDT by blueplum

All three currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines still showed signs of a strong immune response eight months later without a booster, according to a study published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The study analyzed specific markers of immunity found in the blood of people vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna and the Johnson & Johnson vaccines....

...This new study is among the first to directly compare not just antibodies, but also T-cells, across all three vaccines. T-cells are also a crucial part of the immune system, and may offer longer-lasting protection even after antibodies fade....

NEJM article is HERE

and here's the crib notes which may be useful for those who got an antibody test on their own and wonder if their level is good:

" At 8 months, the median pseudovirus neutralizing antibody titers against the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (delta) variant were similar with the BNT162b2 vaccine (67), the mRNA-1273 vaccine (76), and the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine (107).

T-cell responses were assessed by CD4+ and CD8+ intracellular cytokine-staining assays that used pooled S peptides for stimulation (Figure 1D and 1E). At 8 months, the median CD8+ T-cell responses were 0.016% with the BNT162b2 vaccine, 0.017% with the mRNA-1273 vaccine, and 0.12% with the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine. With all three vaccines, T-cell responses showed broad cross-reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 variants (Fig. S6)."

So, is the experiment over? What are the results supposed to be two years from now?

Any wonder that I (and probably many) have ‘Expert Fatigue’? Anytime now that I hear or read “study finds”, I feel the merry-go-round startup again. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I read that Pfizer’s jab lasted just several months? I pride myself on being well informed, now I worry about being a misinformed puppet!

Question this raises: why not compare to unvaccinated? Don’t you develop T-cells naturally? What’s the median for the unvaxxed?

Also, why is every country on earth showing increases in cases and hospitalizations? They show failure vs Delta Variant.

It’s critical to dive into the actual studies and supplemental data, and not read the ABC analysis (did they even link to this NEJM? Why not?). That itself is fatiguing.

And no minds ever change. But maybe you’ll need the studies in a courtroom someday, FWIW.

dunno. Maybe they’ll test the subjects again in 4 months time to see what’s up after a year.

As to results 2 years from now, it’s about as predictable as what are you having for dinner on Oct 16, 2023.

Then drop mask mandates and proof of vaccinations because this study proves vaccinated are safe.

Right?

because in this study they were comparing the three vaccines.

yes, you have natural killer cells but unless they are exposed to covid, they aren’t ‘tuned’, so your ‘unvaccinated’ candidate would have to be an infected recovered to compare apples to apples.

if the MSM says the weather is sunny, I’m going out with a coat.

These clonwss are so full of sh*T and so paid for by Big Pharma is sickening.

“Supported by Janssen Vaccines and Prevention; a grant (CA260476, to Dr. Barouch) from the National Institutes of Health;” among others

Shocking, I know.

They think we’re stupid.

The government has been lying to us consistently about this pandemic.

The media has been lying to us consistently about this pandemic.

The captured medical journals have been lying to us consistently about this pandemic.

Why should I believe anything the say now?

As reliable as The Lancet, I’m sure.

Only to one specific form of one specific disease.

It doesn’t address what the vaxes do to your immune system or your immunity to other variants.

Because TPTB then still need to explain all the “breakthrough” cases.

Perfect example of how to lie with statistics.

Keep telling yourself that - does it even concern you that we know the jabs kill and maim many and that’s just the short-term effects - what might the unknown long-term effects have in store for you?

Even if this were true, it’s still no better than the average flu shot.

...The funders had no role in the design or conduct of the study; collection, management, analysis, or interpretation of the data; preparation, review, or approval of the manuscript; or the decision to submit the manuscript for publication....

Take a look at the list of funders that appears before this statement.

SNORT.

BTW, is it just me, or did that study rely on a really dinky sample size.

People need to wake up. The vax is not to protect you, but to track and control you.

Revelation 13:16-17
And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Yes, notice there is NO MENTION of the Delta variant at all.
