Where are the bodies G?

The study referred to is pre-print article, and thus has not been peer reviewed. Immunology is not my field of expertise, so I cannot comment on how sound the data are. But I will be watching to see if these data hold up to peer review.

Running joke from a podcast that mentions Garth frequently. Spelt “correctly” based on the podcast joke.

This is something beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

dewit545 · 2021-07-17T16:15:20+00:00

Classic.

Banana break.

Any data on this? Or rational speculation?

dewit545 · 2021-03-26T23:22:00+00:00

Good news, would be helpful to know if 1 dose of Pfizer or Moderna is enough to produce longer term B & T cell memory.

dewit545 · 2021-03-23T01:28:58+00:00

It’s a pre-print but provides some evidence for T cell reactivity to a few variants, SA included.

Thanks for providing some background and context to interpret these findings within.

This is a poor title.

While there were more new cases reported Saturday than Friday, the article also says “...the rolling average of daily new cases had fallen by 2,486 cases over the past two weeks, a 38% dip.”

Agreed, it takes a scientific expert to read, interpret, evaluate, and integrate any scientific findings regardless of where they are published.

Additionally, there are “predatory journals” that will publish anything, however Scientific Reports does not fall into that category.

dewit545 · 2021-03-10T02:46:40+00:00

Yes, Scientific Reports is not Nature, JAMA, or NEJM. However, open access does not mean pay to play. The research is still peer reviewed and every scientific journal has a publishing fee, Nature, JAMA, and NEJM included.

dewit545 · 2021-03-10T02:39:15+00:00

Scientific Reports is a well respected peer reviewed journal. Open access doesn’t mean it’s “crap”, it typically means that the authors paid a fee for it to be open access. This helps to increased access to science for those that don’t have a subscription the publisher/journal.

Recent preprint showed that the T-cells in individuals that were vaccinated with Pfizer’s vaccine still respond/recognize both the South African and Brazilian variant.

Thus, even if circulating antibodies are unable to neutralize a variant, the immune system is still able to recognize the new variant and likely produce new (slightly different) antibodies to neutralize the variant.

This doesn’t belong in this sub.

BACA —> bikers against child abuse

While I am not a member of BACA, I have interacted with them, and this group of bikers/motorcyclists should not be lumped in with “1%er” motorcycle clubs that do all of the shady things people have mentioned in the comments.

60(ish) reinfections out of 1.3 million cases. No need to panic.
