I just discovered another report regarding scientific study of vaccines and our immune system. This in Time, last year. This study of Pfizer vaccine only compared Covid or vaccine effects on the T cell portion of the Immune System. This 4 month study enrolled 72 people. They looked at CD 4(helper) and CD 8(killer) T cells at various times before and after vaccination(s) and illness with Covid-19. Normally T 4 and 8 increase after infection, but Covid seems to make T4 increase, while T8s decrease over time. The scientists suggest this may be part of the Long Covid problem. They urge larger and more complex studies involving various vaccines.

This next link is what I found while looking for the first article I read on “Class Switch” of IgGs from IgG1 to more IgG4s. Since it appears that more IgG4s appear in the blood after repeated shots for allergies like pollen or bee sting this may not be a good thing where getting sick from Covid is concerned. If you are stung by a bee, higher IgG4s will lower your response to the sting resulting in lower anaphylactic shock reactions. This is a good thing. On the other hand if you catch Covid-19, apparently higher IgG4s may react less to fight the virus. This could be a bad thing.
For some reason I found this article even harder to read than the first Class Switch study I read, perhaps because it goes into even more detail with technical terms. Many abbreviations are used. These appear in parentheses after their first use. I find it helpful to write down each abbreviation and the words it means, thus having a list to refer back to. In this report I found more terms that I would have to search elsewhere to better understand what they are describing or mean. Perhaps someone can give the link(s) to the first or other IgG4 related studies.

Bottom line, the researchers agree a lot more longer studies with more participants are needed. All aspects of the immune system need to be looked at for a number of both old, common, and new vaccines. Fauci’s moves to put almost all of his $6 billion annual research funds into new drugs needs to change. A lot more of this kind of basic research needs to be funded. Moreover, this Covid pandemic has enabled some researchers to discover the value of Vitamins D3 and C, zinc, Ivermectin, and HCQ. Therefore, these and other known items with potential value need a lot more thorough study with larger numbers of participants. These studies are unlikely to make drug companies rich. But,it is our TAX MONEY that Fauci and others have been using. Tell your Congresscritters to target money toward helping all of us, not mostly toward making drug producers richer.
Thanks glee’!
