Researchers have found that people recovering from COVID-19 and those vaccinated against the causative virus, SARS-CoV-2, produce identical clones, or groups, of antibody-producing white blood cells.
Antibodies are proteins produced by specialized white blood cells called B lymphocytes, or B cells. When a virus binds to the surface of a B cell, it stimulates the cell to divide and mature into a clone of identical cells.
The mature B cells, called plasma cells, secrete millions of antibodies into the bloodstream and lymphatic system, some of which attach to the virus and prevent it from infecting its target cell.
The researchers identified 27 public clonotypes, genetically similar clones of antibodies, which were shared by COVID-19 survivors and by uninfected people who had been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.
Most of the public clonotypes were formed against part of the viral surface "spike" or S protein that attaches to a specific receptor on the surface of cells in the lungs and other tissues.
This part of the S protein is variable, meaning that it can change, or mutate, in ways that can make the virus virtually invisible to circulating antibodies.
If many people independently make the same antibody against the variable part of the S protein, this may exert selective pressure on it to mutate.
In this study, researchers found two public clonotypes recognizing another, more conserved part of the S protein that fuses with the cell membrane. Once fusion occurs, SARS-CoV-2 enters its target cell, where it hijacks the cell's genetic machinery to copy itself.
Neutralizing antibodies that bind the conserved part of the S protein are of interest because this part of the protein is less likely to mutate.
Variants of SARS-CoV-2 may be less likely to evade vaccines and antibody therapies when its less mutable "Achilles heel" is targeted.

This study tells us that merely getting the spike via vaccine induces some of the same antibodies people will naturally create, but that no vaccinated person can create antibodies against any other place in the virus, yet, good spike antibodies can be of solid help for all, unless the spike changed too much.
One with mild fauciflu and no jab: N protein >2500 (2500 is ceiling), Total AB index 226
One with bad (home treated) fauciflu + Moderna jabs: N protein 1407, Total AB index 10.9
These tests are 10 months after fauciflu. The one with nojab had an N Protein of 2500 3 months ago.
I'm no MD but it looks to me like the nojab has better natural immunity with no decrease (actually an increase) over 3 months.
Comments?
I see you are correct. There was a post on FR discussing antibody production in Covid-19 survivors. It was found that multiple different antibodies were produced during infection targeting different epitopes.
According to the article antibodies from vaccinated and infected individuals are directed against the spike protein. Therefore infection should be as good as vaccination, at least.
However an infected and recovered individual produces more types of antibodies than does a vaccinated person (e.g. against the nucleoprotein). Would it not make sense that if the spike protein mutates a previously infected person would still have other antibodies to fight the virus?
Here is an article about this if you want to read it:

We have only one defense against the Delta Variant that I have been able to find. It is not a vaccine. It is the potential use of a nebulizer with AR-712 cocktail by Aridis. But the last time I tried I could not buy a nebulizer without doctor Rx. Fortunately I have a nebulizer. There may be other preventive measures emerging but this is the only one I have been able to find. The Delta Variant hides from the immune system that is why it is spreading.

“...the vaccines’ effectiveness against infection dropped sharply in July, when the Delta variant’s prevalence in Minnesota had risen to over 70%.
Moderna was 76% effective against infection, and Pfizer was only 42% effective.”

The best is the monoclonal antibody option, but its availability is quite limited in virtually all states but Florida (and only NOT Florida as of yesterday).
Otherwise, the protocols from FLCCC are of great benefit for most.
Additionally, some great research has been done on available OTC supplements, with me posting just these two, yesterday:
