Penn Study Details Robust T-Cell Response to mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines—a More Durable Source of Protection
Penn Medicine News ^ | 16 Aug 2021 | Penn Medicine News staff

PHILADELPHIA—Messenger-RNA (mRNA) vaccines against the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 provoke a swift and strong response by the immune system’s T cells—the heavy armor of the immune system—according to a study from researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Although recent studies of vaccines tend to focus on the antibody response, the T-cell response is also an important and potentially more durable source of protection—yet little has been reported so far on the T-cell response to COVID-19 vaccines.

In the new study, which appears in the journal Immunity, the Penn Medicine researchers analyzed the T-cell responses in 47 healthy people who received two doses of the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA vaccines.

The “study” is no study. It’s part of some rigged operation.

Who paid for this indeed.

I am not getting a ‘vaccine’ for something that is 99.8 percent survivable, IF i go outside, and IF i go somewhere that has people, and IF one of those people are infected and IF they are symptomatic and IF I catch it and IF I get symptomatic.

Two takeaways from this article:

1. Prior COVID-19 don’t need the vaccine. Study says people who had Covid-19 already have good T-cell antibody levels. (Vaccine boosted is “somewhat”.)

2. Further study needed: Why are the vaccine T-cells not providing protection against breakthrough infection?

LOL.
Yeah a major university peer reviewed study.
Nowhere near the credibility of Alex Jones.
Microcephalics.

nope, Penn State is not University of Pennsylvania. PSU has no medical school, is Big “10” and campus is in State College PA. U of P is located in Philadelphia, is Ivy League. The scoundrel employed by U of P is Zeke Emanuel who wants us all dead by 75 yo, especially his dad, so that we’re not a burden to Obama care.

Well, I see we have both sides making opposing claims on mRNA vaccines and T-cells.

Since I have developed a strong distrust of what is being taught in all schools anymore, I think I trust the other source even more.

So T Cells based on the spike protein which has already mutated so many times it is threatening to go beyond the Greek alphabet and require Chinese characters for classification?

Alrighty then.

Boars have teats don’t they?

Does wipe out the booster shot theory though. A booster for something you have T Cells for...

25+ protein Covid recognizing natural immunity T Cells may be a teensy tiny itsy bitsy bit better.

“By contrast, in the prior-COVID-19 group, helper and killer T cells specific for the COVID-19 coronavirus were already substantially present before the first dose. After that first dose, T cell numbers rose somewhat, but did not significantly increase after the second dose.”

You mean like the research done by Lancet on the dangers associated with the use of HCQ to combat against Covid?

They had to pull their study.

Will the same happen with this study?

Perhaps you might be the one who is intellectually lazy. Since you had nothing to do with the study, granted I am making an assumption with my statement, you are just taking what they provided at face value. That by definition is intellectually lazy. There is already strong evidence to suggest it is indeed wrong, as heavily vaccinated countries are experiencing numerous Covid break through cases supposedly, which kind of negates the claims made by this study. Just sayin'.

Not Penn State.

A Penn Study at the Perelman Center in Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania, NOT Penn State.
