Ravages of COVID surge evident inside Missouri hospital

Daryl Barker was passionately against a COVID-19 vaccination, and so were his relatives. Then 10 of them got sick and Barker, at just 31, ended up in a Missouri intensive care unit fighting for his life.

... Sohal said nearly everyone hospitalized is unvaccinated. Patients have said they worried about vaccine side effects, or felt the vaccines were rushed out took quickly.

Daryl and Billie Barker both plan to get vaccinated once he recovers.

Daryl said his wife and son are why he’s fighting so hard.

What is shameful you comment that this thread needs a barf alert.
If anything this thread needs a prayer alert for this very sick man and his family.
Who are brave enough to tell their story at this very difficult time.
Especially considering all the hate that will get thrown at them instead of prayer.
Like they are actors.

Totally shameful.

Lordie, what an embarrassing thread.
... and then the embarrassment increased 10 fold after your comment with shameful "barf alert" and "they may be actors" crazy talk.

Amen. And those as usual with the most pious tag lines are the ones throwing the most hate

The barf alert is for the Newspaper trying to take advantage of his situation.

And since we pray daily several places for all who are afflicted with this illness as well as the other problems we all face, I really didn’t think it was necessary in my former post to say I already prayed for this man.

And anyone that has more than half a brain already knows that.
The totally shameful is the ghouls in the LSM who are pimping these stories, and the agencies and PHARMA collaborators trying to prevent any therapeutic treatments.

Go home and come back when you can’t breathe is not treatment- it is gross medical malpractice.

How ‘killer’ T cells could boost COVID immunity in face of new variants

In the race against emerging coronavirus variants, researchers are looking beyond antibodies for clues to lasting protection from COVID-19.

Concerns about coronavirus variants that might be partially resistant to antibody defences have spurred renewed interest in other immune responses that protect against viruses. In particular, scientists are hopeful that T cells — a group of immune cells that can target and destroy virus-infected cells — could provide some immunity to COVID-19, even if antibodies become less effective at fighting the disease.

Researchers are now picking apart the available data, looking for signs that T cells could help to maintain lasting immunity.

“We know the antibodies are likely less effective, but maybe the T cells can save us,” says Daina Graybosch, a biotechnology analyst at investment bank SVB Leerink in New York City. “It makes sense biologically. We don’t have the data, but we can hope.”

The news does this all the time. There’s enough variety in people and situations they can cherry-pick that which fits their agenda. Some magnification and distortion not out of the question either.

Example: how many times do we hear the word “many” in headlines. A meaningless term out of context (sample v. population).

T cells and a the number of matches from cross reactivity for the virus are important. This study from Nature Immunology Jan.2021 has mostly been ignored, but it explains:

"This T cell-mediated immune response is even more important as studies on humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-1 provided evidence that antibody responses are short-lived and can even cause or aggravate virus-associated lung pathology"

The more "matches" you have on a pre-existing basis the more-fully your immune system can recognize the virus and while you will get infected if those matches are among the nucleocapsid section you're much more-likely to drive it off without serious consequence.

DATA RELATED TO SARS AND PRE DONORS(samples prior to RONA):

"Of the SARS donors, 100% showed T cell responses to cross-reactive and/or specific ECs (HLA class I 86%, HLA-DR 100%; Fig. 5d,e), whereas 81% of PRE donors showed HLA class I (16%) and/or HLA-DR (77%) T cell responses to cross-reactive ECs (Fig. 5d)."

Note 81% is roughly the number of people that had very mild or "asymptomatic" cases in the population in general.

More explanations from the study:

"Taken together, SARS-CoV-2 T cell epitopes enabled detection of post-infectious T cell immunity in 100% of individuals convalescing from COVID-19 and revealed pre-existing T cell responses in 81% of unexposed individuals."

Similar % for the Diamond Princess. It's not a "new" never seen before. In fact Dr. David Martin has traced it back using patents/applications to several years ago.

IIRC, Ralph Baric/University of N. Carolina in 2002, filed for a patent on "infectious transmission defective form of Corona Virus, for the purpose of using the virus as a vector for Aids Vaccine to target human lungs- ie more infectious to humans.

IIRC, Initially patents were refused, as they were not new anything and you can't patent natural stuff.

And I think the first SARs outbreak was in 2003 - just another coinky dink.

Anyway back to the issue - it's the match that explains why people can be in the same room/bed/cabin and one gets sick and the other doesn't, those T cells are very important.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-020-00808-x.pdf

I also posted an interesting essay I found at BMJ.com, on another thread about our amazing immune system and T cells.

Which concludes Vaccines have their place but so do our amazingly complex, sophisticated, highly effective immune systems which have evolved over millennia to protect us from a world teeming with trillions of pathogens.

Totally shameful.

Lighten up, Francis.

I nominate your post for Best Actor, in the Virtue Signaling category.

Lighten up about some people attacking this very sick man and his family as actors?

Your post should have a barf alert.

Saying this thread of a sick man freely telling his story to a reporter needs a barf alert is less than half-brained.

Especially since you prayed for this man. Which shows you disagree with the person you pinged who claimed they could be actors.

But I am good with keeping you in-touch with human decency.

Prayers up for your friend.

Is he in the hospital? Has he tried contacting the front line doctors on line?

Well I wouldn’t expect your pea brain to understand it.
But like I said the Newspaper is the ghoul and the medical malpractice is criminal.

And if that doesn’t make you want to barf, then you have no compassion, empathy, or even half a brain..

I didn’t ping anyone. I just gave a friendly hello. Unlike you, that person has never posted BS accusing me of crap like you have.

Now you just went brainless when I thought there was hope.

When you are qualified to make a medical decision about someone through the internet then let us all know.

Until then you are a shameless Troll.

You did ping in the crazies (”they could be actors”) with your barf alert post. Liar.
