Could One mRNA COVID Shot Be Adequate for Past Infectees?

Small study shows powerful antibody response after first dose

Former COVID-19 patients may need only one dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine to get the effect of two doses, researchers suggested.

The disease itself may "prime the body" to produce the antibodies seen with the two-dose regimen, according to an exploratory study reported at the virtual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections that examined titer levels of antibodies in patients who had COVID-19 and those who did not.

Mark Mulligan, MD, director of the Vaccine Center at New York University Langone Health in New York City, said that 6 to 14 days after patients received a vaccine dose, the specific titers associated with infection response were dramatically higher in patients who had previously had COVID-19 than in coronavirus-naive vaccine recipients, with titer levels of 200 versus 27, respectively.

In addition, Mulligan said, the second dose in patients who had COVID-19 didn't measurably increase the titers, whereas it did for previously uninfected patients.

Whoda guessed it would take less rather than more?

More likely that the previously infected don’t need a shot at all.

How can you not have some immunity after having Covid? This is another area the “experts” are dithering on.

I know one who got the vaccine and it gave him blood clots. He had and went through COVID last summer. He said it was just like a bad flu. He never lost his sense of taste. He was only out of work fro the quarantine period and didn’t even need that. The vaccine has put him out for over a month.

Pfizer - Reporting Adverse Events

Moderna - COVID-19 Vaccine info

https://www.modernatx.com/covid19vaccine-eua/recipients/

The Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‑19) for use in individuals 18 years of age and older. There is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID‑19.

The EUA for the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine is in effect for the duration of the COVID‑19 EUA declaration justifying emergency use of the vaccine, unless terminated or revoked (after which the vaccine may no longer be used).

Aren’t previously infected Covid-19 people cured?

Tracking serious COVID-19 vaccine reactions

“The U.S. CDC and the FDA use ‘VAERS’ to track adverse reactions. Patient submissions and evidence of some underreporting show it doesn’t reveal a full picture.”

If you have already had the disease why would you need the vaccine at all?

Zero adverse effects for both of us from shot #2 of Moderna vaccine, 10 days after. I am age 80, and spouse has stage-4 cancer at age 66. If we can tolerate the vaccines so easily, looks like any adult in moderately good health has extremely small risk of adverse reactions.

True. Would love to see the evidence that leads the CDC to make this recommendation. There are very few if any second COVID-19 infections in the truly previously infected.If a vaccine really eliminates carrier states that may be infectious to othere, then there might be some, limited rationale for vaccines in those that have documented antibodies and prior infections.

Because it is an unknown as to how long the immunity created by the disease may last. We can get Influenza one year, and get it again next year. The China flu may be the same. Vaccines act like a strong booster, minimizing your risk to get sick again for several months at least.

Antibody production seems to taper off eventually, becoming susceptible again.

Goal of this “vaccine” (actually gene therapy) is to make the body make its own vaccine ongoing.

I’m concerned, as a software engineer, that this “reprogramming” of mRNA may have unintended consequences, and that future fiddling will lead to increased conflicts and failures - manifesting as bizarre illness and death.

Adverse reactions of real significance are more likely to come when exposed again to a coronavirus or something otherwise similar. And if there is long-term neuro damage, that is more likely a year-plus away.

Would be nice, if we could find info that the “vaccine really eliminates carrier” status.

I didn’t read the artilce.....did they do antibody tests, on all of these in the study group, before the FIRST ‘vax’?

And, if so, what levels were their antibodies, then?

Are Reactions More Likely With Certain Vaccines?

Researchers have seen more allergic reactions to the Moderna shot than the Pfizer vaccine: In a new study out this week, 2.2 percent of subjects inoculated with the Moderna shot reported symptoms, compared to 1.95 percent of those who took Pfizer’s.

So far, there have been fewer cases of allergic reactions to the newest vaccine on the market — the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine — compared to the two mRNA vaccines approved in December.

Where are you seeing that? And, at what point is your source saying ‘eventually’ is? We have friends who had China Virus A YEAR AGO and are still cranking out antibodies.

Only....studies are finding that it can wear out and boosters are needed....how many boosters will be needed, over time? NO ONE KNOWS.

You certainly have good cause to believe that. That’s what happened to test animals in later Phases of the trials of SARS vaxes.
