What the hell is antibody-dependent enhancement?

ADE occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen, but they are unable to prevent infection. Instead, these antibodies act as a “Trojan horse,” allowing the pathogen to get into cells and exacerbate the immune response.

So what he is saying is that the not-a-vax is going to mask a similar COVID and make it worse?

Did you ever watch the movie, “The Fly”?

Some of us here have been trying to educate about ADE for well over a year. Appears that we failed.

Not to be presumptuous, but what I think he’s saying is that exposure to the coronavirus will send a vaccinated person’s immune system (killer lymphocytes) into hyperdrive and cause it to kill the vaccinee. And this will apply (if I’ve understood him correctly) to all coronaviruses, not just the bat-human hybrid that is the cause of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It helps to remember, we are soup. Not terribly different than the primordial swamp.

An antibody that attacks but fails to kill a pathogen delivers to the bound pair "self" signals and it becomes a wolf in sheep's clothing.

His other point was that by immunizing you put selective pressure on the virus leading to not necessarily more pathogenic variants but ones less susceptible to the vaccine.
