Rockefeller University Study Finds Greater Antibody Response In Recovered COVID-19 Patients Than Vaccinated Ones; Bolsters Results of Previous Studies
The Federalist ^ | 08/06/2021 | Shawn Fleetwood

A new study has found that individuals that have previously contracted COVID-19 show a more potent antibody response than those who were solely vaccinated for the respiratory virus.

Conducted by a research team at Rockefeller University in New York, the analysis found “that between a first (prime) and second (booster) shot of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, the memory B cells of infection-naïve individuals produced antibodies that evolved increased neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2,” but also that “no additional increase in the potency or breadth of this activity was observed thereafter.”

Meanwhile, researchers determined that not only do recovered COVID-19 patients possess neutralizing antibodies up to a year after infection, but that such infection simultaneously assists in offering protection against developing variants.

“Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection produces B-cell responses that continue to evolve for at least one year,” the study read. “During that time, memory B cells express increasingly broad and potent antibodies that are resistant to mutations found in variants of concern.”

The analysis later goes on to conclude, “Memory antibodies selected over time by natural infection have greater potency and breadth than antibodies elicited by vaccination.”

Moreover, the results suggest that “boosting vaccinated individuals with currently available mRNA vaccines would produce a quantitative increase in plasma neutralizing activity but not the qualitative advantage against variants obtained by vaccinating convalescent individuals.”

The study’s findings add to further mounting evidence detailing the level of protection natural immunity offers previously infected COVID-19 patients. Last month, Emory University published an extensive investigation describing the efficiency of long-term immunity against the respiratory virus. Similar discoveries have also been identified in research released by the Cleveland Clinic and the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, respectively.

It seems with covid vaccines that they had a solution looking for a problem. It would be interesting to find the true behind the vaccines and why people are behaving the way they do. It does not seem to be solely for profit. I am confident that no matter what side is listened to, it’s not completely accurate. One thing is sure, you can’t untake the shot.

Obvious misinformation. Will be blocked by Google and Facebook.

OK, follow the science they say.

These studies ( 4 different prestigious research institutes ) tell us that BEFORE WE MANDATE VACCINE PASSPORTS or TREAT UNVACCINATED PEOPLE AS PARIAHS, we should first determine if they have already recovered from Covid.

If they have, there’s no need to demand vaccine passports.

I’m not seeing how this news helps Pfizer or Moderna financials. Therefore, must be ignored /sarc

So, aside from Rockefeller University, they’re also going to block similar supporting studies from Emory, the Cleveland Clinic and the Washington University School of Medicine?

Duh. Of course natural immunity is better. The human body created defenses against a real virus. The gene therapy response is not even to a dead virus, but just a protein that is supposed to be related.

But, get the shot anyway or be excluded from certain things in vaxxed society. Is that what we’re being told? Kind of NOT following the science eh?

For sure. Can’t have people thinking God’s vaccine is better than Moderna’s!

For those that have recovered from Covid and who wish to be able to provide proof of IMUNIZATION but cant or dont want to provide proof of vaccination, there is now an FDA approved EUA test.

https://www.t-detect.com/

It is kind of pricy - $140 ish, but can provide evidence that you have immunity to covid.

This text is talking about a single injection of vaccines that require 2 injections vs previous infection. It is not clear why, if this was the focus, they did not compare to J&J, which is designed for 1 injection — and was the only vaccine explicitly tested against the first variants in South Africa and Brazil. Pfizer and Moderna’s clinical trials were too early to see any variants.

This is why CDC does not recommend any vaccine above J&J. The tests were not in the same timeline or same populations.

Maybe the most important things to factor into your decision making is this inclination to hope for “natural” solutions is something that needs to be rethought in the context that this is a created Chinese virus. It’s not natural. It’s artificial.

And second . . . Tetanus. Fascinating thing about tetanus. The toxoid is so powerful that a tiny amount of it will kill you. An amount slightly under that amount that lets you live is too small an amount to trigger immune activity. Tetanus is very rare because vaccination is so prevalent but the few cases studied find no titres of antibodies in the few people who get it and survive. Only those vaccinated have titers. (And evidence is growing the 10 year booster recommend is not needed. Once fully vaccinated, the titers are good for life)

So, why isn’t the government emphasizing this test instead of forcing the vaccines on everyone?

That is a good question. I can only provide speculation.

The govenment is not really interested in making sure that the citizens are immunized.

The FDA is trying to avoid the loss of face / power by having to backtrack on their prior vaccine stance and admit that the vaccines are not effective.

The powers that be have an evil plot to pump poison (graphene oxide) into the the arms of citizens and via repeated doses create a base line of toxin that kills the elderly and infirm much more quickly.

... take your pick.

This should be followed by the question - where are the autopsy reports of CoVID victims in this grand experiment?

So far the only autopsy reports show spikes in all the organs of the deceased that supposed to stay in the ‘jab’ site.

The Red Cross has been saying this as they collect blood material for virus therapies.

This highlights the criminal public health policy of not testing people for antibodies before injecting them.

Where to find the t-cell test? t-cell test
