  • A Plant-Derived CoVid Vaccine Works

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/k2G_5M6yWuY

     

    A virus-like particle vaccine created from plant protein blended with CoVid spike proteins is safe and effective.  A US-Canadian team, helmed by Stanford University virologists, now announces their results on the biorixiv.org pre-print server after testing the vaccine in a monkey model.

     

    Two vaccine doses were necessary to trigger a protective antibody response and proper stimulation of T-killer cells.  The vaccine did reduce levels of live CoVid harvested using nasal swabs and improved the lung appearance of infected animals in comparison with those unvaccinated.

     

    Whether this plant-derived Covid vaccine proves better than the mRNA vaccines or the nanoparticle vaccines remains to be proven.

  • Protective CoVid Antibodies May Last Two Years

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/Eef5-AGQOCo

     

    IgG antibodies against the CoVid spike protein have a calculated half-life of 725 days.  French virologists just published this conclusion following their study of 1,309 health care workers 393 of whom had become infected with CoVid.

     

    Over the first 9 months following infection, protective anti-spike antibodies diminished moderately but faster in men than in women.  Approaching one year post infection though, the levels of anti-spike antibodies stabilized.  These antibodies showed a protective level of 96.7%.  Vaccination of these health care workers with one of several vaccines drove a 1000-fold increase in antibody levels.  Testing of these antibodies revealed their effectiveness against most variants.
