info_outlineFomites! Droplets! Aerosols! B-Cells! T-Cells! Vaccines! The only thing that's missing from this episode is a big yellow school bus!
In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Preeyam Patel, an immunologist, to talk about what happens inside our immune system after a COVID-19 infection. Not only that, but Dr. Patel highlights some of the most interesting contemporary studies of the day and catches me up on all things vaccine development.
For a full run-down, look no further than this Amazing Sources Cited Document!
For those who do not see a link, try a different directory. Today's topics include:
- Dr. Patel had COVID in New York City, and was told it was "just the flu."
- Symptoms were still coming out, and testing for antibodies was given emergency approval (but over 100 tests are no good! Check your results!)
- Why W.H.O. may be looking the other way on potential "aerosol" transmission of Coronavirus statistics.
- What are antibodies, how long do they last, and what is their purpose?
- What's the correlation between antibodies and reinfection? Between viral load exposure and severity of COVID?
- What's the difference between local immunity and systemic immunity?
- How are vaccines made and why do people need them more than once?
- What about the so-called "long-haulers" who experience COVID symptoms for 100+ days?
- Why the concept of 'herd immunity' is not something to strive for or relax about.
