“Another candidate to replace the advice of Fauci on the televised TF briefings” that is funny.

On the serious note I see a lot of fading antibodies stories that forget to explained the T Cells functions. This is a great article.

There is still a lot we do not know about the virus and a lot of facts that are ignore too for politics on both sides.

T cell immunity ( invisible immunity) seems like the most logical explanation of the virus curve that starts to burn down when the tested population shows a 25-30% covid antibody/infection pos rate.

Some researchers noted back in March that this cycle takes about 70 days to peak and decline. Michael Levitt of Stanford for example.

The cycle is similar regardless of mitigation. So lockdown or not, there is a covid active infection burnout starting at about 25% pos rate...indicating that another 40% or more of the population has active T Cell protection, making the Herd Immunity Threshold ( HIT) about 70% of the population

If this holds, FL and TX have about another 2 weeks before their infection rates start to decline

Fingers crossed

Imo the best vaccine candidates are those that induce both covid antibodies and stimulate T cell response, like this work by DR Patrick Soon-Shiong
