The original vaccinations for COVID-19 induce potent antibodies that protect against SARS-CoV-2.
But a new study shows the antibodies generated by those prior vaccinations or infections can actually "hurt" the booster shots. That's because these antibodies rapidly "mop up" the booster from the body, before it has a chance to stimulate the cells from the immune system.
In a cohort of 85 people who had been vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, Northwestern scientists found that lower antibody levels before a booster were associated with a higher-fold increase in antibody levels after the booster.
"This suggests that pre-existing antibodies induced by prior vaccinations may negatively affect the level of responses induced by mRNA booster vaccines," Penaloza-MacMaster said.
"In other words, the antibody responses generated after prior vaccinations rapidly wipe out the vaccine during a subsequent booster shot, limiting the immune response that can be generated by the booster shot," Penaloza-MacMaster said. This was not caused simply by competition between antibodies and B cells for the vaccine antigen but seems to be the result of so-called "antibody effector mechanisms" that clear foreign substances from the body.
The new findings also suggest why increasing time between vaccinations is beneficial for the immune response, Penaloza-MacMaster said. "We showed in prior studies—as did other labs—that the longer the interval between vaccinations, the better the response. It's better to wait six months than two weeks before you boost, but the reasons for this were not clear."
Because the experiments in this paper show that high levels of antibodies induced by prior vaccines or infections can be detrimental for vaccine boosters, the scientists plan new experiments to administer drugs that transiently block antibody activity. They plan to give these drugs at the time of boosting to allow the vaccine to be sensed better by immune cells.

I’ll never experience any problems
85 people is not statistically significant.
But the justification for poorly tested ‘vaccines,’ which are actually gene therapy, has been exposed as false. Covid-19 was never worse than ‘normal’ influenza, it was just that patients were denied all treatments instead of using available medications.
Fauci and CO lied and said Covid-19 was ‘novel’ therefore none of us had any immunity to it. But that’s obviously not true. Many people never got Covid or had a mild case, because it was similar enough to other coronaviruses for them to have some immunity.
Many on FR have used HCQ or Ivermectin with great success. There have been treatment protocols available to the public (Dr. Zelenko, Dr. McCullough) since 2021 so there’s no need for a toxic shot that doesn’t work.
Not if you’ve never had the 1st one 😉

Same here , never touched the stuff
Junk science.
Over the last 3 years, this assertion has been proven false.
So “the vax is failing because of the vax.” Many of us could have told them that, though not in the circular way they’re trying to explain away their problems here.
>> I’ll never experience any problems
Me neither... nothing in my system to “boost”! :-)
Oops! Nope. Not buying one word. They knew. They can keep their clot shot.
LOL...stopped reading, right there.
Blocking antibodies to the spike…so you can get injected with more spikes…sounds like junk science to me.
But then, I am not a Pfizer stockholder
The experimental mRNA gene therapy is not safe or effective.
Simple solution -- monthly boosters? Or should it be bi-weekly?
It's safe for the ones mandating it. As far as effectiveness, that depends on what outcome one wants.
To me this reads like a faint attempt to cover for the disaster called Covid-19 Vaccines. You can almost hear the panic in the back offices.
