Scientists Find COVID-19 Antibodies That Can Make Boosters Unnecessary
The Jerusalem Post - Israel News ^ | 09/07/22 | Judy Siegel-Itzkovich

In a major breakthrough in the battle with the COVID-19 pandemic, Tel Aviv University researchers have isolated two antibodies that neutralize all known strains of COVID-19 – including Omicron – with up to 95% efficiency and will strengthen the immune systems of people at risk.

 

Targeted treatment with antibodies and their delivery to the body in high concentrations may serve as an effective substitute for vaccines, especially for at-risk populations and those with weakened immune systems, according to the researchers. By using antibody treatment, there is a possibility that the need to provide repeated booster shots to the entire population every time a new variant emerges will be eliminated.

 

The research was led by Dr. Natalia Freund and doctoral students Michael Mor and Ruofan Lee of the Department of Clinical Microbiology and Immunology at Tel Aviv University’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine. The study was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Ben Croker of the University of California at San Diego. Also taking part in the study were Prof. Ye Xiang of Tsinghua University in Beijing, Prof. Meital Gal-Tanamy and Dr. Moshe Dessau of Bar-Ilan University.

The study was published in the journal Communications Biology under the title “Conformational flexibility in neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 by naturally elicited anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.”

 

The new research is a continuation of a preliminary study conducted in October 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, Freund and her colleagues sequenced all the B immune system cells from the blood of Israelis who had recovered from the original COVID strain and isolated nine antibodies that the patients produced. The researchers now found that some of these antibodies are very effective in neutralizing the new coronavirus variants, Delta and Omicron.

Cold-19 is no longer a threat.

If the Health Industry and the MSM come all out declaring it is unsafe, we’ll know it is likely effective.

If they start promoting it, we’ll know they make money out of it.

Sorry, but this science is not the science approved by the current administration so the findings cannot be trusted. /sarc

As cynical as that sounds, it also sounds right.

I believe they knew this way back when...But what does the government do with their experiment in “government control” of the people via “pretend” vaccines.

Pfizer will buy the patent or spike any news of its success.

There were plenty of treatments that made the vax not necessary. But they went with them anyways not because they worked or were necessary, but because it was a means by which to control us.

You really didn't need the /sarc tag.

Exactly.

Treatments such as ...?

Omigosh... getting sick gives antibodies!!!

Someone call the 1960’s junior high school health book publishers immediately! They need to know they were right!

The following is for informational purposes only. Take it with a grain of salt. You are reading it on the internet after all. Also, I wanted to document it, so I thought this would be as good a place as any.

There seems to be another Covid-like disease going around our area. I just spent almost a week in the hospital with a toddler family member and now I have it. Rhinovirus is what they are calling it. One nurse called it “rhinorona.” This one seems to affect children the hardest. I predict shutdowns after the election and another non-vaccine “vaccine” waiting in the wings. “It’s for the children.”

Symptoms include everything. It is different every day.

Day 1: Sore throat.
Day 2: Sore throat, fatigue, fever, SPO2 on a home monitor of 89-90.
Day 3: Sore throat, fatigue, fever, dry cough, SPO2 87-90.
Day 4: Severe sinus pain, almost searing, in the forehead, migrating down to lower jaw pain by the end of the day. Accompanied by swelling of the gums. Dry cough. SPO2 87-92
Day 5: Woke up this morning with a productive cough and no sinus pain but still lots of fatigue. Still low o2. Hopefully almost done.

I have not been tested for Covid, but everyone that has that I know has tested negative repeatedly. Toddler tested positive for rhinovirus/enterovirus but also had a severe infection requiring hospitalization and IV antibiotics.

Isn’t rhinovirus a runny nose? Hasn’t rhinovirus always meant “runny nose”? Let’s all panic, shall we?

That’s what we thought. The doctors and nurses seemed befuddled. It was requiring hospitalization of a few children in our area and the only thing they tested positive for was rhinovirus. Like I said, one nurse called it “rhinorona”

You know them.

Anything that has been discredited by the FDA, CDC, Fauxi, etc.

Look at what they claim didn’t work because otherwise they would not be able to get their EUA for the “vaccine”.

Back in May, mr.mm got laid up with a nasty flu bug that was going around.

He tested for Covid four times within a week. All came back negative, as did almost everyone else who was reporting cases of it.

I would prefer more research into how, without mRNA, to get the body’s natural immune system to acknowledge and produce the newly discovered antibodies.
