Pandemic Protection: Immune System 101
The Stream ^ | March 18, 2021 | Don Colbert

Posted on 03/18/2021 10:44:02 AM PDT by Heartlander

A silent war against pandemics is taking place around the clock, every day of our lives. This war occurs not in government labs or hospitals. Rather, it is happening inside of you and me, even at this very moment. Within every human body on the planet, God has installed the best defense system against viruses, bacteria, and plagues of all kinds. This defensive team is called the immune system, and it is brilliantly effective and capable of adapting to meet new threats.

The War Inside

Warding off disease from our bodies begins at the simple, mechanical level — the physical barriers of skin and mucous membranes. By far, most would-be invaders stop here. They simply cannot get through the “walls” of our skin and mucous membranes. Every day this physical system repels countless attempted attacks without our even knowing it.

When the physical barrier is breached, we find that we develop a swollen infection at the site of a cut, or a persistent cough, or something worse like a viral or bacterial infection in our bloodstream. When viruses and bacteria pass through the skin or mucous barriers, it becomes an inside game, and here is where the genius of our immune systems really shines.

Everyone possesses two broad types of immune system: innate and acquired (or adaptive). Every person is born with an innate immune response. Each of us then uniquely develops an acquired immune response based on the invaders we are exposed to.

The innate immune response is general and highly sensitive, recognizing anything that is not part of our bodies and alerting the rest of the system to get to work. Your body can recognize millions of different invaders. The acquired system then kicks in to specifically identify and react to that invader. Our immune system remembers every bacterium and virus it has...

02/27/2021 NYT article re Johnson & Johnson vaccine

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine.html

EXCERPTS:

Entering a Cell

After the vaccine is injected into a person’s arm, the adenoviruses bump into cells and latch onto proteins on their surface. The cell engulfs the virus in a bubble and pulls it inside. Once inside, the adenovirus escapes from the bubble and travels to the nucleus, the chamber where the cell’s DNA is stored.

The adenovirus pushes its DNA into the nucleus. The adenovirus is engineered so it can’t make copies of itself, but the gene for the coronavirus spike protein can be read by the cell and copied into a molecule called messenger RNA, or mRNA.

- - -

My notes re that:

The adenovirus contains a DNA double-strand. That DNA double-strand is a memory medium, in effect. The Johnson & Johnson programmed mRNA is recorded on that memory medium.

The cell finds that mRNA recording on that DNA double-strand.

The cell copies the Spike Protein info of that mRNA recording, into an actual messenger RNA.

And, that actual mRNA is then used by the cell, to present the SARS-2-CoV Spike Proteins on the cell surface.

Thus, the Johnson & Johnson approach, is to deliver a recording of the Johnson & Johnson programmed mRNA, while on the other hand, the Pfizer and Moderna approach, is to deliver their (Pfizer’s and Moderna’s respective) programmed, actual mRNA.

Wrote, there:

The RNA of the Spike Protein is passed into the RIBOSOMES which TRANSLATE them into new Spike Proteins. A part of the TRANSLATION quality control process is where segments of the Spike Protein are presented on the surface of the host cell’s membrane where they bind to the MHC-1 molecule. These proteins attract T helper cells which determine if they are TRUE protein or FALSE protein. Because they are FALSE proteins, the process of creating antibodies against them begins. These proteins are destroyed, including the cell that produced them.

Anytime any C-virus [SARS-2-CoV] enters the cell, the antibodies will attack its Spikes which are the key part [that] the virus uses to slip its RNA code into the cell for replication. This process also destroys the C-virus [SARS-2-CoV].

- - - - - -

My notes re Pfizer vaccine

The Pfizer vaccine is “mostly” a vaccine, but not in the traditional sense (among some people, including myself) of a full-immunity vaccine that also eliminates your passing along/sharing a SARS-2-CoV virus.

The Pfizer vaccine has a high probability of coaxing your body’s immune system to recognize the SARS-2-CoV Spike Protein and destroy that Spike Protein . . . sort of neutering the ability of the SARS-2-CoV virus to attach itself to a cell and then replicate itself by using that cell. The “neutered” SARS-2-CoV virus is destroyed, along with the infected cell.

Over time, the resulting antibody count will likely dwindle (we are informed by stories online), but your immune system should long remember how to quickly recognize again, the SARS-2-CoV Spike Proteins, and make new antibodies.

It certainly would have been helpful if our government had stressed building up personal immunity during this pandemic. Instead it said .... stay inside, wear a mask, don’t go to a gym, close off the playgrounds, etc. People should have been encouraged to eat healthy, exercise, go outside, etc.

Here’s the rest of the story...

The world’s two most powerful and corrupt governments...
(The US and China)
are BOTH at war with your immune system.

The US, through Fauci’s org, funded the illegal gain of function research in
China, that became Covid-19.

And if that wasn’t enough, we now have these highly questionable
“emergency” “Vaccines” that are not really vaccines, that soon you will be FORCED to take, or you will likely lose your job and/or your liberty.

I had hope, but it’s such a disappointing article with profound omissions on the immune system.

Shameful. The correct title should include the limiting qualifier “response”.

People should have been encouraged to eat healthy, exercise, go outside, etc.

People should have been told there is an OVER THE COUNTER cocktail of supplements that act as a preventative.

People should have been told there is an inexpensive cocktail of several drugs that are widely available, have been used for decades safely for other illnesses, and that preliminary uses has shown it to be very effective in preventing C-19 infection IF GIVEN EARLY.

But the gubermint led by Fauci tried everything to suppress information that would have saved tens of thousands of lives.

WHY DID THEY HIDE LIFE SAVING INFORMATION?

It's very simple, truth would have cost BIG PHARMA $BILLIONS

and

The DimWITS needed lots of dead to scare the public and get mail in voting.

ARTICLE LISTS OVER THE COUNTER C-19 PREVENTATIVE SUPPLEMENTS and DRUGS USED BY DOCTORS TO CURE THOUSANDS OF C-19 PATIENTS WITH NEAR 100% SUCCESS IN KEEPING THEM AT HOME-NOT IN HOSPITALS
