While higher viral loads were associated with higher likelihood of developing anti-nucleocapsid antibodies, "Viral copies at the illness visit did not fully explain the large difference" between vaccine and placebo groups, according to the preprint study, which hasn't been peer-reviewed.
A placebo recipient with a mild infection had a 71% chance of developing those antibodies, compared to 15% for a vaccine recipient.
While the "Long-term immunological and medical significance" of the missing antibodies is up in the air, the nucleocapsid protein "Mutates far more slowly" than does the spike protein, which in Omicron is all but unrecognizable to vaccines, Berenson said.
COVID analyst Igor Chudov noted the researchers called their work an improvement over an Irish study that found "Low rates of anti-N seroconversion" among Pfizer-vaccinated hospital healthcare workers, since the American study is a "Randomized, placebo-controlled trial with systematic surveillance for infection." Law professor Todd Zywicki, who successfully sued George Mason University to recognize his natural immunity as a "Medical exemption" to its vaccine mandate, pointed Just the News to his March review of the risks for "Original antigenic sin" from repeated doses of the same formulations against evolving variants.
Moderna's published phase 3 trials suggest that its vaccine gave recipients short-term immunity "At the expense of the long-term ability of the immune system to create a similar degree of robust, broad antibodies" against the 29 proteins in SARS-CoV-2, he wrote.
"It's an exaggeration" to say the study shows "mRNA vaccines hurt long-term immunity," as opposed to the problem of using anti-N antibodies as a marker for seroprevalence, Indiana University immunologist Steve Templeton told Just the News.
"T cells are more important in that regard." Proponents of vaccine mandates also "Disingenuously" conflate a "Transient spike in anti-S[pike] antibodies" with increased protection versus natural immunity, he argued.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
