A recent study seemed to show that SARS-CoV-19 antibodies disappear in a person over a fairly short period of time. That is important because it might mean that an effective long term vaccine against the disease is not possible. "Seem" and "might" are the operative words. Here is a study that seems to show the opposite. In this study, researchers found a T-cell in people who had been uninfected (as far as they knew) that reacted to the virus. The researchers concluded that it's possible (note: "possible") that these people had been exposed to another virus in the coronavirus family and had manufactured a T-cell that reacted to that virus and was also reactive to SARS-CoV-19. In that case, it could mean that some antibodies remain for a longer period of time. One thing I've learned from following the science in this disease is how very complex scientific research is and why it's important to hesitate to draw definitive conclusions. But we as workers definitely need to keep abreast of the research. https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/sars-cov-2-reactive-t-cells-found-in-patients-with-severe-covid-19-67695?fbclid=IwAR0cFpctF11F8fOpXC8Cqx6FlLpB74oIKtcQ630OPUx1mGFxu_ed3W68gQI#.XwM7Vw2aknU.facebook -- *“Science and socialism go hand-in-hand.” *Felicity Dowling Check out:https:http://oaklandsocialist.com also on Facebook _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
