Full Title: Are some people naturally Covid-proof? Scientists around the world are studying the phenomenon of health workers and others who are regularly exposed to the disease but have yet to become infected Mounting evidence that people are naturally resistant to Covid and its mutations One theory is that they have previously recovered from different coronaviruses Experts hope they can help create variant-proof vaccine to keep Covid at bay It's a common yet curious tale: a household hit by Covid, but one family member never tests positive or gets so much as a sniffle. As infections continue to soar in...

Abstract Background: A key question concerning coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is how effective and long lasting immunity against this disease is in individuals who were previously infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We aimed to evaluate the risk of SARS-CoV-2 re-infections in the general population in Austria. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study using national SARS-CoV-2 infection data from the Austrian epidemiological reporting system. As the primary outcome, we aim to compare the odds of SARS-CoV-2 re-infections of COVID-19 survivors of the first wave (February to April 30, 2020) versus the odds of first infections in...

STOP THE PRESSES — Sanjay Gupta finally asks Fauci about Israeli study showing ‘Natural Immunity’ is 13X times greater than Vaccine…‘Why should anyone get Vaccinated if they have immunity from a prior Covid infection?’ Fauci — ‘I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that’

A George Mason University law professor with naturally acquired immunity from COVID is fighting against his employer’s strict COVID vaccine mandate. Antonin Scalia Law School Professor Todd Zywicki, who recovered from a bout with COVID and has blood tests showing antibodies to the virus, said he will not agree to the university’s policy that employees get the vaccine or face numerous sanctions. “George Mason is forcing me to choose between serving my students on one hand and undergoing an unnecessary and potentially risky medical procedure on the other,” Zywicki said in a statement. “Multiple clinical studies have shown that natural...

Most people who have recovered from COVID-19, even with mild illness, retain a broad and durable immunity to the disease, including some degree of protection against its variants, according to an Emory University study published in the journal, Cell Reports Medicine. The longitudinal study, the most comprehensive of its kind to date, involved 254 COVID-19 patients, between the ages of 18 to 82 years, who provided blood samples at various points for a period of over eight months beginning in April 2020. About 71 percent of the patients had mild disease, 24 percent experienced moderate illness, and five percent had...

...As many as 97% of subjects had IgG antibodies recognizing the coronavirus peak protein one year after infection. Although antibodies were detected in many, their levels after one year were about one-third lower than they had been six months after infection. ....A total of 1292 individuals were tested for antibodies six months after infection and 367 individuals one year later. Fifteen percent of those surveyed after six months and 13 percent of those surveyed after one year had had a serious coronavirus infection requiring hospitalization.... ...Patients with severe disease requiring hospitalization had significantly higher levels of antibodies than those with...

OK. Let's get to the chase. I'm a pilot. I've been flying almost 45 years. I know many commercial pilots who work for the big carriers. Some do international flights, the Far East, Europe, etc. At least four of them now have told me they have had this crap, some as early as November of last year. High fever, bad dry cough, and body aches. They all said they were sicker than a dog. They told me they have flown boatloads of people from China and Europe to here before the travel ban. They tell me they passed it around...
