T Cells Omicron and natural immunity

[Nautiknight]

I found this article today in Nature about lasting immunity , T cells and omicron. Yet again, a country other than America is studying lasting immunity of those previously infected .

‘Killer’ immune cells still recognize Omicron variant

Amid concerns over lost antibody defences, some researchers argue that more attention should be paid to T cells.

I'm not going to say anything until...

Spoiler

I get my PCR results back tomorrow. I tried to get a PCR test of both CoV and Flu, but wouldn't have my results until next week. I am an on-site employee, working in 'closed rooms' at times.

So I'm home, in isolation, but I actually think this is the Flu (which I haven't had in a decade), not a CoV. But since even UrgentCares now require appointments, and won't guarantee walk ins, it makes little sense to visit. My PCP is also 2 hours away from work.

I've been making the T-cell argument as I had an endemic CoV some 2 years ago, and went with a Adenovirus vaccine 9 months ago. Although most studies show those who read cover from any Endemic CoV have good T-cells and protection.

We should focus on a solution with an annual 'T-cell generating Booster' every fall, which would protect well against any CoV and some other respiratory diseases. But we won't. Why?

We have money, Pharma and other things, so we're going to be pushing 3-4x mRNA vaccines, including mRNA Flu vaccines, no matter how bad and how many complications they caused in 2016-2019 trials.
