1/ US & UK media finally reporting what we've known for months from published peer-reviewed research by leading scientists🌎: pre-existing cross-protective Tcell immunity & strong Tcell responses bode well for long-term #SARSCoV2 immunity, and #HerdImmunity may already be at hand
2/ US: "We may be closer to #HerdImmunity than previously thought. Are we fearing a ‘second wave’ which our immune systems already have well in hand? People show immunological response to #SARSCoV2 in their Tcells.. without necessarily showing antibodies."
spectator.us/closer-herd-im…
3/ "#HerdImmunity may be closer than thought—UK scientists say immunity likely far higher than what govt antibody tests shows b/c it doesn't account for Tcells. Top immunologists said infection-fighting Tcells are more durable/long-lasting than antibodies"
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
4/🚨British Medical Assoc Journal @bmj_latest published Editorial highlighting imp of T-cell immunity “for epidemiological modelling of disease transmission & #HerdImmunity”

“Current antibody tests fail to identify people who had mild #COVID19 infections”
bmj.com/content/370/bm…
5/🚨First @bmj_latest, now Journal of American Medical Assoc @JAMA_current: “Tcells another level of popn immunity against #COVID19”

"Substantial data demonstrate:
pre-existing T-cell immunity to #SARSCoV2.. prior to pandemic.. & in those w/out infection”
jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
6/🚨Editorial in British Medical Assoc Journal @bmj_latest re pre-existing cross-protective Tcell immunity to #SARSCoV2 and herd immunity threshold.

“Immunologists.. agreed that Tcells could be a key factor.. preventing an epidemic rise in new infections”
bmj.com/content/370/bm…
7/Above @bmj_latest Editorial highlights “Swine flu déjà vu” & “lesson forgotten”

H1N1 Tcell “data forced change..at WHO/CDC from assumption before 2009 that most ppl ‘will have no immunity to virus’ to.. ‘vulnerability of population related..to level of pre-existing immunity’.”
8/UK: “These studies (on pre-existing cross-protective T-cell immunity) are of immense imp b/c they bring into question central assumption of global response to #COVID19—that b/c #SARSCoV2 is a novel coronavirus no one on Earth can have any immunity to it”
spectator.co.uk/article/the-gr…
9/Media in India now covering Tcell immunity. Silence still from #CdnMedia

"In Covid infection, Tcell immunity more long-lasting than antibodies.. Prior exposure to some other coronavirus(es) evoked cross-reacting Tcell immunity towards Covid coronavirus"
thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…
10/🚨Peer-reviewed study by German & Dutch scientists published this wk in Nature:
“Our data demonstrate pre-existing T-cell immunity induced by circulating human alpha & beta-HCoVs is present in young adults, but virtually absent in older adult subjects."
nature.com/articles/s4159…
11/Above German/Dutch Nature study: “To best of our knowledge—this is first time presence of cross-reactive Tcells to SARSCoV2 is compared in young & older adults. Our findings provide partial explanation for more severe clinical outcome of SARSCoV2 infection observed in elderly”

1/ Are you tired of all of my friendly reminders yet? Here are some very relevant and important reminders, beginning from 2020. More reminders will be added to the thread overtime. Thread🧵
2/Sept2020 Forbes: "Covid Vaccine Protocols Reveal That Trials Are Designed To Succeed"

"Prevention of infection is not criterion for success for any of these vaccines.. None list mortality as endpoint.. Trials are testing to prevent common cold symptoms”
3/ Oct2020 British Medical Journal:

"None of trials underway designed to detect reduction in any serious outcome such as hospital adms, use of ICU, or deaths. Nor are covid vaccines being studied to determine whether they can interrupt virus transmission”

.@rupasubramanya:
Suggest looking into Trudeau’s appointed “Covid-19 Immunity Taskforce” next. I’ve been sounding alarm re 🇨🇦 fed/prov govts’ denial re Tcell immunity by omission since July2020, but it has all tragically fallen on deaf ears.

Tcells = warriors & our unsung heroes

1/New Peer-reviewed
"Covid-19 & the Political Economy of Mass Hysteria"

"Mass/digital media in connection with the state may have had adverse consequences during Covid crisis. Resulting collective hysteria may have contributed to policy errors by govts.."
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
2/ "Lockdowns have been unnecessary and detrimental to overall public health. In fact, prior scientific research on disease mitigation measures during a possible influenza pandemic had warned against such invasive interventions and recommended a more normal social functioning..."
3/ "In reaction to past pandemics such as the Asian flu of 1957–1958, there were no lockdowns and research before 2020 had opposed lockdowns.. Lockdowns have been a policy error. We have shown that these policy errors may well have been produced by a collective hysteria..."

🧵Public Health Ontario's new report was used by politicians, media, academics to claim majority of hospitalized & ICU Covid "cases" & deaths "with Covid" are "unvaccinated"

BUT their definition for "unvaccinated" actually INCLUDES vaccinated ppl (p.23)
▶️publichealthontario.ca/-/media/docume…
2/ Stay tuned. More to come...
3/To make ethical evidence-based decisions, critical that all data is reported transparently: data from the control group (non-immune unvaccinated) must never be mixed with other test groups (immune unvaccinated, post-vaccination 0-13 days, post-vaccination ≥14 days)

Here's why
