Authors: Myron S. Cohen, M.D. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), has generated a worldwide pandemic. The interruption of its spread depends on a combination of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions. Initial SARS-CoV-2 prevention includes social distancing, the use of face masks, environmental hygiene, and hand washing.1 Although […]

Authors: Alessandro Sette 1 2, Shane Crotty 3 4 Abstract T cell reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 was observed in unexposed people; however, the source and clinical relevance of the reactivity remains unknown. It is speculated that this reflects T cell memory to circulating ‘common cold’ coronaviruses. It will be important to define specificities of these T cells and assess their association […]
Determining the duration of protective immunity to infection by SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for understanding and predicting the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical studies now indicate that immunity will be long-lasting. Authors: Andreas Radbruch & Hyun-Dong Chang Generating immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is of the utmost importance for bringing the COVID-19 pandemic under control, protecting vulnerable […]
Authors: Dr. Malone, TYLER DURDEN In one of the most appalling examples of Big Tech silencing scientists who refuse to withhold their criticisms of the mRNA technology behind the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccines, Dr. Robert Malone, a pioneer who helped develop mRNA vaccine technology, saw the credit for his contribution to medicine effectively erased from the […]

Authors: DYLAN HOUSMAN The reality that breakthrough cases exist and being vaccinated doesn’t guarantee protection from COVID-19 has raised a new question in the minds of many Americans: just how likely is it that someone will get seriously ill from the delta variant of COVID-19 if they are vaccinated? Some clinical data suggests that vaccine […]
