Scientists unlock clues to determining how safe vaccinated people are
from Covid-19 Andrew Joseph. By Andrew Joseph Aug. 16, 2021.

Imagine peering into people’s blood and being able to pick up a simple
marker of exactly how well protected they are from Covid-19.

It’s a pressing goal for scientists who are still trying to understand
what immunity to the coronavirus looks like, how robustly vaccines
protect us over time, and how protected people are who’ve had and
recovered from Covid-19.

Now, a year and a half into the pandemic, researchers are starting to
flesh out exactly what these “correlates of protection” look like, a
step that could help track the durability of immunity and speed the
development of additional vaccines. In a preprint paper last week, a
group of researchers from both academia and U.S. health agencies
reported their findings of the immune correlates for Moderna’s Covid-19
vaccine. The study demonstrated the link between the level of antibodies
in a person’s system and how protected they are against Covid-19,
validating the hypothesis that antibodies could be used as a measure
that signifies overall protection.

“We saw a very clear correlation that the higher the level of antibody
produced by vaccines, the less likely you were to become sick with
Covid-19,” said Christopher Houchens, one of the authors of the paper
and a biologist at the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development
Authority.

The team is working on similar studies for the other vaccines that
received support from Operation Warp Speed, including Johnson &
Johnson’s and AstraZeneca’s, while other research groups are
investigating other vaccines used around the world. Additional recent
studies have also pointed to using antibody levels as correlates of
protection.

A key advantage of knowing the correlates of protection is potentially
enabling the approval of future vaccines. The vaccines that are
available now went through a slog of clinical trials involving tens of
thousands of people. But with vaccines increasingly available, it’s
harder to enlist volunteers to participate in a study in which they
might receive a placebo. Most people would instead choose to get a shot
they know works

Going forward, depending on what sort of evidence regulatory agencies
decide to require, vaccine makers could instead study their shots in a
few hundred people. Scientists could settle on a particular antibody
threshold that shots would have to induce in people to get the green
light — if someone has enough antibodies to hit that level, they’re
protected, while anything below it portends infection risk.

With some other infections, researchers haven’t determined the exact
correlates, but have a rough estimate of how much antibody a person
needs to be protected, and they use that level for regulatory decisions.
Flu shots, for example, don’t have to go through clinical trials every
year, but are instead authorized based in part on the quality of immune
response they generate in much smaller studies.

“Knowing the correlates of protection is incredibly useful,” said
virologist Angela Rasmussen of the University of Saskatchewan’s Vaccine
and Infectious Disease Organization, who is not part of the research
group studying immune correlates in Covid-19 vaccines. “It really helps
us develop vaccine policies that maximize keeping people as safe as
possible.”

Trending Now: Comparing the Covid-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer,
Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson.

Establishing the immune correlates for a certain pathogen can help
predict whether a vaccine will be effective or not, but really,
protection isn’t binary. As biostatistician David Benkeser of Emory
University and another of the study authors put it, people don’t go
“from sitting duck to someone who’s completely protected from Covid.”

Rather, protection exists on a gradual scale, with people being more or
less vulnerable to disease depending on their immune landscape. And
indeed, the study focused on Moderna’s shot didn’t narrow in on a
particular cliff where protection fell off entirely, but rather found
that the higher level of antibodies someone had, the more protected they
were. Put another way, the lower their antibody levels, or titers, the
more likely they were to get a symptomatic breakthrough case of
Covid-19.

Related: A snort or a jab? Scientists debate potential benefits of
intranasal Covid-19 vaccines Knowing that, researchers wouldn’t just be
able to look at antibody titers and determine whether a vaccine is
effective overall. Rather, they could use the titers produced in a group
of vaccine recipients to extrapolate an estimated level of effectiveness
of a particular vaccine, a measurement that’s normally established
during clinical trials.

The new study also underscored the variability in people’s responses to
vaccines. There are only a handful of authorized vaccines being put into
arms around the world, but a range of factors, from age to body mass to
genetics and beyond, can influence how our individual immune systems
kick in when primed. Some people will simply have more robust responses
than others.

Scientists generally caution against individuals relying on antibody
tests to determine their own protection against Covid-19. The tests can
be faulty at such a granular level, and, as the researchers behind the
new correlates study acknowledged, only look at antibodies, not the
other parts of the immune response — like B cells and T cells — that are
also involved in keeping people protected from disease.

Related: Immunity to the coronavirus remains a mystery. Scientists are
trying to crack the case Still, the immune correlate studies could more
broadly inform the discussion about when and whether people — or at
least certain groups of people — should get a booster shot. The research
groups are continuing to follow the study volunteers and will track
their antibody levels. If they drop over time, and in turn there’s an
increase in Covid-19 cases among those people, it could point to the
level at which people should receive another shot.

“We can track these individuals and look at if their antibody titers
start to go down, but we don’t know how far they have to go down at this
point to say, ‘Well your risk of infection is significant enough that we
would recommend a third vaccine,’” Houchens said.

History
Founded in 2017 by Ray Vahey, BitChute is an online video hosting
platform that publishes far-right conspiracy theories and videos banned
by Youtube for content violations. Some notable publishers on BitChute
are conspiracy theorists Alex Jones and Lauren Southern. The website
lacks transparency as they do not offer an about page, and anybody
uploads videos. They claim to use a peer-to-peer network to prevent
censorship.

Analysis / Bias
In review, BitChute publishes user-uploaded videos that often contain
extreme, misleading, or fake far-right content. For example, they
publish videos from right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones such as
this UN Propaganda Prepares Pacific Islanders For The Rise of the New
World Order. Based on the content’s offensive and often false nature, we
will not provide more hyperlinks to their website. In general, they
promote illegal content and hate speech that has been banned from other

white supremacy, Qanon conspiracies, and pro-Trump propaganda.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center “BitChute, is a low-rent
YouTube clone that carries an array of hate-fueled material, including
white nationalist podcasts, propaganda linked to a murderous neo-Nazi
group and a parody song called “N—– Babies,” which chortles at the idea
of slaughtering and then eating black infants.” Further, during the
Coronavirus pandemic, they have frequently published disinformation such
as the banned video Plandemic, riddled with false claims. In general,
this a website that offers disinformation and offensive content. Put
another way; it is the 4-Chan or 8-Chan of video. It is not credible on
any level.

Failed Fact Checks

Bitchute videos are often false conspiracy theories.
Overall, we rate BitChute extreme right and Questionable based on the
promotion of conspiracy theories, propaganda, hate speech, poor
sourcing, fake news, and a lack of transparency. This source is not
credible for accurate information and may be offensive to some (most).

They don't censor the facts at BitChute.com like TWITTER and FACEBOOK
and YOUTUBE.... do they?

SO we know which platforms are "pure lying" by the single fact of who is
censoring what is privately posted by people who create their content.


And FACTCHECK is busy censoring everything they PUBLISH so that they can
twist the content to create FAKE NEWS that they want you to read.

Censorship is a sure sign of someone telling "pure lies" that they need
to protect from the truth. But thanks for pointing out that pure lies
are being PUBLISHED BY TWITTER and FACEBOOK and YOUTUBE who apparently
need to censor people to get you to believe their edited and PUBLISHED
FAKE NEWS.

If their lies can't stand up against FACTS and LOGIC then it's NOT the
truth is it? Why else would Democrats censor the "content PROPERTY" of
private persons...?

*Apparently Democrats don't want their scams exposed*

That's karma


Censorship is a systemic form of violence, using force to silence those
you hate.

Censorship is HATE personified... Hate groups use censorship to help
force those they hate to be gagged and silenced.

Censorship becomes a systemic hate crime and a form of SLAVERY when it's
illegally forced on American citizens. TWITTER'S censorship is enslaving
Blacks.

Censorship of this document in whole or part, is an admission of your
belonging to a VIOLENT HATE GROUP.
