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.

So...what they’re saying is that the body’s own self-defense system is triggered by the injection of this foreign substance.

‘ I am not getting a ‘vaccine’ for something that is 99.8 percent survivable‘

They want you to get the VCN so you don’t spread the virus to others. Fear has been disseminated so your neighbors, family and coworkers will pressure you to either get it or isolate. Stay home. Don’t work don’t shop

The experimental substance you and your children is for others. So they can feel comfortable.

In the new and ever changing mafia-morals constitution everyone has the right to feel comfortable. Everyone has the right to be covid free

It appears that Dr. Ryan Cole, a pathologist in Idaho, is too close.  Take a look at this.  Dr. Cole is seeing an increase in uterine cancer (~10-20X) with the jab.  He speculates that it may be caused by destruction of T4/T8 cells.

From what I’ve read, it’s been hypothesized that, unlike the earlier variants, the Indian variant (Delta) makes a home first in the nasal cavity and upper respiratory system and replicates rapidly there. It takes time for the T-cell immunity in the blood to recognize the infection and begin fighting the infection.

In short, this is why there is strong protection against serious disease but only moderate protection against symptomatic infection and transmissibility.

It’s going to take a nasal vaccine to be able to stop transmission of this variant. Several nasal vaccines are in the pipeline.

Thanks for posting this. It is encouraging news. I’m not scrolling down to see other comments as the visceral negative reaction of many Freepers to facts and data about COVID has become tedious.

And, as others have posted, this was University of Pennsylvania, not Penn State.

This is from the so-called fact check: “If there’s a treatment for a disease, the federal government cannot approve a vaccine by law, by rule,” Cole falsely claimed

I didn't look for what the doctor said, but I believe the rule is they can't approve an Emergency Use Authorization if there is an effective treatment available. That difference should receive a clarification, at most.

And yet in Israel the most recent data from far studies with thousands of people... shows that the Pfizer shot which is based on this technology is now a complete failure. It went from around 90% effectiveness against the original strain to 39% effectiveness against the “delta variant” and was dropping at a rate of 10% a week at the time the study was completed.

When the experimental vaccines don't work against the agent that they are suppose to defeat it shows that the 35 page “scrollable pdf” is nothing but mental masturbation. I downloaded it, I looked it over and it is a waste of time outside of its narrow focus... And I guess that you didn't realize that the “study” was conducted months ago, long before the “delta variant” became the prevalent strain. This work was rendered completely irrelevant by a rapidly mutating virus.

It is not news... the study was conducted last winter. And it is not encouraging because it failed to predict the absolute failure of the experimental gene therapy treatment studied against the latest variants of the virus. It is about as useful as whatever info Joe Biden used to decide to pull the troops out of Afghanistan leaving behind billions of dollars in military equipment and abandoning our citizens still left there.

Lets call this what it is... a waste of the 4256KB of the bandwidth required to a download a “35 page scrollable pdf”. And who knows how much money this cost the taxpayers... but who cares about that these days? The “study” proves only that the data they collected and conclusions they reached from it have no meaningful application to the fight against Covid.

Both Flu and Kennel Cough vaccines don’t do this, same Corona virus, different strains. As are common colds. Each are yearly.

At 73 never had the Flu, just a few colds. Ear infections are more frequent. Swimmers Ear, Meniere’s. 2 attacks, treatment caused hearing loss.

All Vaccines are FDA APPROVED. Even the ones which damaged my hearing.

The study does not correlate with actual evidence on the ground with breakthrough infections. So believe the paper instead of the real case histories. Right.

The propaganda machine is working overtime.

Agreed. That was what my comment was getting at, somewhat obliquely.
