New exciting pre-print: Omicron breakthrough yields broader response than Pfizer

Just found this:

"Vaccine-breakthrough infection by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant elicits broadly cross-reactive immune responses"
www.biorxiv.org...

Here, we investigated host immune responses in the first vaccine-breakthrough case of Omicron infection in Hong Kong. We found that the breakthrough infection rapidly recruited potent cross-reactive broad neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against current VOCs, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omicron, from unmeasurable IC50 values to mean 1:2929 at around 9-12 days, which were higher than the mean peak IC50 values of BioNTech-vaccinees. Cross-reactive spike- and nucleocapsid-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses were detected. Similar results were also obtained in the second vaccine-breakthrough case of Omicron infection.

Which makes very good sense, since the amount of mutations in Omicron, many shared with previous strains but than has more, would give our immune system a lot more to learn.

Now I want to get infected even more.

The irony is their take back from their own study:
- Because we can see that the response from being infected and generating a natural response is better than the response of the vaccines, we should make a vaccine that does the same as omicron.

maybe I'm not following but it sounds like you want a vaccine to do what natural immunity is already doing? Ergo pretty soon we won't need a "new vaccine".

Vaccines ought to be for things our natural immunity has problems with.

No indications that vaccines change the trajectory of COVID, especially when its spread and severity are broken down by demographics and you are below 65 years of age it's barely a blip in the overall population.

The difference is 43pts at most and that was when deaths and hospitalizations were at an all-time high, now the difference is 13 people per 100,000
Hospitalized with COVID at 65 years or older is 17 in 100,000, drops to 9.1 at ages 50-64,18-49 ages is 4.1 per 100,000. That's nothing even in Georgia's population of over 10 million

They should. Even omicron could be deadly to the immune compromised. The vaccine should be optional for those that want it.

Yep just like the flu shot. And now we have come full circle back to what I thought all along.

This was and is a massive money grab at all levels by all the players Gov/Health/Pharma.

This should have never gotten to where it is today under any circumstances.

Don't worry big brother gonna take care of you.

This is the way the elites are trying to tell the world "would you rather have the military industrial complex, or the medical MIC?"
Why does it have to be either?? Why can't we just respect soverignty of Nations and human bodies in the same universe??

It was a practice run to see how much 'push back' they would receive as well.

Have Omicron parties; Doctors use to advise that in children and varicella.

I don't get this kind of comment.

Everything is (or should be) a personal choice, whether a medical procedure, your profession or field of study, or where you live.

Why should a jab be any different?
