Much on T-cell for vaccines & variants is unknown.
A @GladstoneInst preprint sheds light:
—Prior covid + vaccine -> very strong response w/ homing
—Supports: (1) need for vaccine w/ prior covid, (2) just 1-dose, and (3) marked protection vs variants”

“Older immune systems have an increasing tendency to mistarget the virus, paying too much attention to its Nucleocapsid and Open Reading Frame 8 proteins, and not enough attention to the Spike protein”
Glad to see pre-prints about natural immunity! Interesting!
RE: Older immune systems have an increasing tendency to mistarget the virus
So, mistargeting viruses increases with a person’s age?
