Alright, so
my last video
ended up with a few people spreading misinformation in it
cause I think it went to a wider audience.
Aside from the concerning fact that this person claims they’re a nurse.
Um, let’s talk about it.
SARS COV 2 vaccines in fact work better than the influenza vaccine.
Um, far better.
Not every vaccine is 100% respiratory virus.
Vaccines are particularly difficult to get 100%. Um,
in fact, there is no known 100% efficacious vaccine.
There are a couple of reasons
why the efficacy of the SARS COV 2 vaccine
has been eroded over time.
One, we have variant soup.
We have multiple variants out there
that your body may not make
antibodies that block a particular variant
when it’s given a vaccine that doesn’t match that variant.
Antibody production against a specific pathogen reduces over time.
If you made a huge amount of neutralizing antibodies
to every pathogen you had ever encountered in your life
since the time you encountered it,
through the rest of your life,
you would have far too many antibodies in your system.
We have kind of set points in our system
where we have a certain amount of antibodies.
Usually it ramps up when we’re sick
and you get a higher number of antibodies to that specific pathogen.
But if you don’t continue to encounter that antigen or that pathogen
over time, your body stops making those antibodies.
This is an evolutionarily conserved pathway
for Protection against virus
in A certain time and space.
For example, this is even true in animals.
You give them a vaccine, a couple years later,
they’re not making high levels of that antibody anymore.
Where you see more efficacious vaccines working
is when the virus takes longer to infect cells.
And something like influenza or SARS, COV2,
for example, you get an MMR vaccine,
and for a long time, it is efficacious.
Because the way that measles spreads through the body is different.
It takes a little bit longer.
Same with rabies, same with polio.
These are not respiratory viruses.
Even if you can get them through a respiratory path,
they enter the body,
then they start to replicate in other cells and tissue.
And finally, let’s dispel this myth.
The immune system behaves like a muscle.
This video is already pretty long,
so I’m gonna do it in my next.
