Disturbing new revelations that permanent immunity to the coronavirus may not be possible have jeopardized vaccine development and reinforced a decision by scientists at UCSF and affiliated laboratories to focus exclusively on treatments.
Several recent studies conducted around the world indicate that the human body does not retain the antibodies that build up during infections, meaning there may be no lasting immunity to COVID-19 after people recover.
Strong antibodies are also crucial in the development of vaccines. So molecular biologists fear the only way left to control the disease may be to treat the symptoms after people are infected to prevent the most debilitating effects, including inflammation, blood clots and death.
I just dont see a vaccine coming anytime soon, said Nevan Krogan, a molecular biologist and director of UCSFs Quantitative Biosciences Institute, which works in partnership with 100 research laboratories. People do have antibodies, but the antibodies are waning quickly. And if antibodies diminish, then there is a good chance the immunity from a vaccine would wane too.

Furthermore, deaths are recorded when Covid is a CONTRIBUTING factor.
Have you ever filled out a death certificate?
Thats how they work.
Cause of death: sepsis
Contributing cause #1 cellulitis
Contributing cause #2 diabetes.
That goes in the records as a diabetes death.
DoughtyOne's trend line graphs tell a different story, as do the hospital statistics here in San Antonio. The upsurge is of recent vintage, and is just beginning to show up in the data. IMO, said upsurge is a direct consequence of the Floyd riots/protests, as the time interval from those events, corrected for incubation, is a good match.
And you ALWAYS drop into name-calling instead of analyzing the data. Bye........permanently.
Don’t make definitive statements on stuff you haven’t bothered to take time to read. Just to further your far left agenda.
What is it about “Bye” that you don’t understand?? Get lost.
Prediction: “Miracle” immunity vaccine discovered in about 17 weeks. Say, around November 4th.
Until then, everything stays in lockdown mode. Unless you are a BLM rioter.
What is it about drop dead don’t you understand? You don’t want a reply don’t post stupid sh*t to me.
