Sweden reports increasing antibodies to COVID-19 in all age groups
Outbreak News Today ^ | 07/20/2021

The Swedish Public Health Agency conducts recurring seroepidemiological examinations in which the presence of antibodies for detection of the covid-19 review is analyzed. The surveys have been conducted on a number of occasions during 2020 and 2021 and include periodic collections of surplus blood samples from outpatient care and samples from blood donors.

During the last week of May and the first week of June, the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was examined in excess blood samples collected from outpatient laboratories in eight regions. The blood samples came from children, adolescents and adults as well as older adults aged 0-95 years. The analyzes show that 85 percent in the group 65-95 years had antibodies, while the level was 52 percent in the group 20-64 years and 28 percent in the group 0-19 years. On average, the entire group had 52 percent antibodies.

โ€“ As expected, there is a high level of antibodies in the older age groups where vaccinations have come a long way. Since we know that only a small proportion of the population in this age group has had covid-19, this shows that the absolute majority of everyone who has been vaccinated develops detectable antibodies, says Mia Brytting, unit manager at the Swedish Public Health Agency.

Also in the blood donor group, 52 percent had antibodies during the same study period. This is an increase compared to the surveys conducted in early March 2021, where one in four blood donors had antibodies. The increase is linked to the fact that many have since received at least one dose of vaccine.

Young people

In the case of children and adolescents aged 0-19 years, the survey of antibodies from blood samples in outpatient care, the last week of May and the first week of June, shows that 28 percent had antibodies. The highest incidence was in the group 16-19 years, where 37 percent had antibodies. However, it was lower in the group 0-10 years where 22 percent had antibodies and in the group 11-15 years where 34 percent had antibodies. The proportion vaccinated among the young was during the corresponding period, as expected, very low.

In another study, 30 percent in the 11-19 age group had antibodies. The study was conducted in the last week of April and the first week in May. No one in the study group was vaccinated at the time of the study.

โ€“ Although our surveys show that just over 30 percent of young people have antibodies, this also shows that two thirds probably have no protection against covid-19. It is therefore important that young people are aware that covid-19 can still be spread in this group, says Mia Brytting.

The antibody analyzes were performed in collaboration with SciLifeLab / KTH and with Xerum AB.

I’ll take my naturally acquired viral antibodies and pit them against any vaxxer and their spike protein antibodies anytime.

Challenge still open: Winner takes all.

If they need help testing the Swedish bikini team Iโ€™m available.

Well, if my wife lets me.

Oh, never mind.

Is that what helped the Swedish bikini/soccer team whip ME-guhn rapinho’s butt? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜Š

You had the spike proteins if you had COVID19. You know that, right?

It looks good at the moment.

Daily covid-related deaths (7 day average) is one person per day (in all of Sweden), the total number of patients treated in ICU-units with COVID-disease is today 23.

However, it looked the same last summer. In Stockholm the majority of the contagion is now the Indian- (or to be โ€œmodernโ€ the delta-) variant. But if the contagion spreads among the un-vaccinated youths, we don't really have to expect a rise in hospitalisations and ICU-cases.

I think I mentioned previously that a few weeks ago the majority of cases treated at ICU in Stockholm had been vaccinated. However, almost all those cases were either very aged persons, or persons undergoing treatment for cancer, organ transplants or autoimmune diseases, ie persons with depressed or badly functioning immune systems. Apparently almost all these patients have now either been moved to normal hospital units, been discharged or (sadly) succumbed to the disease - presently only 3 patients in ICU in the Stockholm hospitals.

So, it looks promising for the moment. But still no early treatment (HCQ, Zn, AZ, D-vit, C-vit etc) for people who come down with Covid, which I think is a medical malfeasance.

Goodbye. Since your wife now probably monitors your FR entries we will probably never hear from you again. Just don’t let her find out how to peek at your earlier comments. OOps!

Good question. Not aware of a test specifically for the 'spike' particles absent the viron. Not aware of any study of the naturally immunized survivors of CoVID, oddly enough.

I expect more time to pass before serious effort is made to deal with the 'spikes' left in all the 'vaccinated' population of the CoVID experiment causing blood and nerve problems.

______________________

The genetic engineers reconfigured the spike protein in the vaccines to be less flexible so that it would stand out from the cell wall and flag the immune system. They are not the same, while similar enough to supposedly stimulate antibodies. Although, given the *breakthrough* cases, maybe not similar enough or even the right protein.

Also, the virus does not continue to manufacture the spike protein in large quantities for months (and perhaps longer).

I keep wondering if the pharma companies are delighted with the use of their vaccine recipients’ bodies to manufacture the spikes. Means they can use fewer in each shot and then have *need* of boosters. Bet there is some cost-saving/increased ROI involved somewhere.
