@dianaberrent @epadams The virus is a sphere with spikes covering its surface; on these spikes there is a tiny part that binds to human cell walls; that tip of the spike is covered with sugars called "glycans" which scientists refer to as "the glycan shield"....
@dianaberrent @epadams With me so far? Right. So this "glycan shield" is incomplete on the spikes, meaning it doesn't completely shield the spikes from YOUR INCOMING T-CELLS which must physically interact with it in order to form antibodies....
@dianaberrent @epadams So, because of this incomplete glycan shield, some people have a robust antibody response but other people have a weak antibody response, it most likely has to do with the glycan shield, the glycan shield is very important to understand....
@dianaberrent @epadams Now, if you take a Messenger RNA Vaccine, your antibodies don't interact with actual virus and its tricky glycan shield; your antibodies are more effectively taught to recognize the actual virus happens to enter your nose (U are "challenged" by the virus)...
