Your First Covid Encounter Shapes Response To Future Variants: Study

London:

The first SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that a person encounters, be it through vaccination or infection, shapes their body's subsequent immune response against current and future variants, according to a study conducted in the UK.

The study finds that exposure to the virus imparts different properties that have an impact on the immune system's ability to protect against current and future variants, and also affects the rate of decay of protection, which explains why populations across different regions and countries build varying degrees of immunity to similar virus strains.

Orchestrated by a team of scientists from the Imperial College and Queen Mary University of London, their findings were published in the journal ‘Science' on Friday.

“Our first encounter with spike antigen either through infection or vaccination shapes our subsequent pattern of immunity through immune imprinting,” said Professor Rosemary Boyton, from Imperial College's Department of Infectious Disease.

“Exposure to different spike proteins can result in reduced or enhanced responses to variants further down the line. This has important implications for future proofing vaccine design and dosing strategies,” she said.

So tuners:

An uncle came in from the UK 2 weeks ago. He was out for a while but he lives here.

Double vaccinated and took all the relevant pre-fly tests.

Arrived Saturday and family had a big bragadang for him.

By Monday, every man and woman jack, who went, start to get sick. Plenty were not vaccinated. One ended up on drips in the hospital.

I have an aunt who is 90 and a staunch anti-vaxxer who was one of the attendees. She is having problems catching her breath and coughing.

I called her today and said: Auntie you see why you should take the vaccine.

Her response to me was : Nope. It is the vaccine that is killing people.

Who is the backside that decided a family bragadang at this current moment I the best thing to do.
You may have alot of dead family members by next week.

doh blame granny too much. 90 years of living in a deeply corrupt, third-world shithole will leave anybody with a distrust of authority. tell them old people the island authority on the up and up and they will consider you naive (and for the past 90 years, they were right).

90 is a good long time to have been alive tho. boom times x3 in their lifespan. the next generation not going to get those chances. between covid and climate change, tough tough times ahead and life expectancy going to fall off a cliff

I keep telling you phuckers…..just because someone is vaccinated whether it be one or a hundred times, have a million tests done all saying “positive”….it doesn’t mean sheit.

HOW many people have travelled and have ALL the requirements and STILL getting covid?

It’s because of erroneous, undetected, fraudulent and incorrect Anti-gen/PCR testing….AND also FAKE or ineffective vaccines.

You phuckers are NOT protecting your bodies properly. For heavens sake……up to now people are still clueless as to how a virus spreads and what they have to do to prevent getting infected.

The priority and the objective is to protect harmful particles from entering your body’s and prevent your particles from exiting.

Remember what i have been saying from the start of this pandemic eh…

Anyways.

One of my workers is ill & went to Arima hospital and spent 6 hours waiting on a test. At 9:30PM they told the crowd of 100+ waiting that if you not having trouble breathing it makes no sense to wait since you wont get through tonight. He went home and will try back tomorrow....

Things really bad out there.

Lol

6 hours waiting for a test? Sounds like the average wait time for someone who knows no one in a typical day in a Trini hospital.

100+ waiting for 6 hours and not a thing on social media?

But the PM spoke a lil 5 minutes and getting more attention that Trinis supposedly waiting for lengthy periods.

Really don’t know when the fairytale stories gonna stop.

You need to start closing yuh stink cornt cause it smelling up the place, your brain like it putrefying ... damn blasted parasite.

A senior PNM official also confirmed that Manning was fully vaccinated, having received the AstraZeneca vaccine. Is it that immunity is waning, how are so many vaccinated persons requiring hospitalisation, hmmm wonder what would happen if there are no beds available. Any way he is in the HDU recieving oxygen.

For the first time in two months, the US is averaging more than 100,000 new Covid-19 cases each day, shortly after millions of Americans traveled for the Thanksgiving holiday.

He is living here now. He went back to the UK just when Covid hit and he was itching to come back for a while.

My aunt is his sister and one of his brothers ended up on drips in the hospital.

My aunt is real fortunate so far that she has been able to fight it but we are watching her closely.

[paid_influencer]

yea the "breakthrough infections are rare and vaccinated-vaccinated spread is unlikely" doesn't hold anymore. Avoid christmas office parties like the plague, because well, we are in a plague.

On a related note, below is the age distribution for hospitalization in South Africa (omicron wave). You can see it is hitting the younger demographics harder. This is a reversal from Delta where people in their 30's were the ones getting infected and spreading it in the community, but people in the 60's+ were the ones going to hospital and dying.

It's possible this is because the Omicron wave hasn't spread to those older contacts yet (Omicron was discovered 3 weeks ago, ffs).

If I reading this graph properly, 10 year Olds in the hospital, that not right at all

TTPS TO ENFORCE COVID PROTOCOLS MORE RIGIDLY

Deputy Commissioner of Police McDonald Jacob is warning those who wish to deliberately violate the Public Health Regulations that the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) will enforce the law.

“We intend to enforce the law in an aggressive manner. Once persons have not been granted permission, the police officers will make the necessary arrests and the question of discretions will be left to the court. They will feel the full brunt of the law. We will move around with our buses and will make arrests,” Jacob told the Sunday Guardian by phone yesterday.

He said since the pandemic started, the TTPS had issued 21,254 fixed penalty tickets to people who have violated the COVID-19 regulations, including for not wearing face masks. He said between 6 am on Friday and 6 am yesterday alone, the TTPS issued 100 fixed penalty tickets.

Jacob said since the Safe Zone initiative started, the TTPS had issued 153 fixed penalty tickets to individuals for violations of the zones and five times to business owners.

He also said it was also unfortunate that since the State of Emergency (SoE) was lifted last month, citizens’ behaviour had changed.

“Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of persons violating the COVID-19 rules since the SoE lifted.

Persons are constantly bent on creating all different measures to cause unnecessary gatherings. A lot of them are politically-driven events where there are small groups actually converging together to create difficulties for the police. An example is what happened at the Savannah recently,” he said about the recent protest against Government’s COVID policies, where 30-plus people were arrested.

He said unruly citizens are placing the lives of the police at risk when they go to break up these events, noting officers are in danger of contracting the virus.

“At present, the TTPS has 634 police officers on quarantine, with 148 police officers who have tested positive in recent times. We have 17 police officers who are now deceased. In some instances, the police have to go into action and institute arrests of individuals who choose to violate the regulations. We believe in some of these situations the police officers may be unfortunately affected with COVID-19.”

Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh also yesterday warned the public about large gatherings that violate the Public Health guidelines and regulations, as he responded to public complaints about a promotional motorcade by Angostura on Friday.

Asked whether a motorcade involving women on trucks and music was sending the wrong message during a third wave of the pandemic, Deyalsingh said, “There is something called the Public Health Regulations. We just ask all persons, whether it is corporate or individual…what I did see is what happened in the Savannah. It was very disconcerting. It is about any type of gathering, even if it is your homes, any type of gathering at this time is something that we should think twice or three times about. Whether it is a protest as we saw in the savannah and people encouraging their children not to wear masks. I am just hoping that gathering in the Savannah does not result in a spike.”

In a statement to the Sunday Guardian, Angostura said that on Friday (December 3) and yesterday (December 4), the Angostura Rule the Road Caravan participated in islandwide promotional activities in several parts of Trinidad.

Angostura said in keeping with COVID-19 regulations, the caravan, which consisted of music trucks, trailers and a tow truck displaying the all-new Jeep Rubicon prize, did not allow gatherings or interactions. Angostura used the caravan as part of its roll-out for its new packaging project for White Oak, new product campaigns and the Jeep promotions this month. It said in previous years, these events involved bar stops, live performances and inviting persons to participate in the trailer activities.

“This year, none of that happened because the company understands that this is the new normal and while business must continue, we must balance lives and livelihoods. All our activities and activations are now done through the lens of safety. In addition to our announcers and messages, we enclosed the trailers with plexiglass to avoid and discourage any interaction with our promo teams, thereby also keeping the public safe.”

Angostura added that all their trailers were equipped with electronic boards which also prompted messages of safety – reinforcing the need to stay safe, the need to vaccinate and to wear masks.

“We took the communication one step further today (Saturday), with our announcers asking persons to go to mass vaccination sites which are open to the population and get vaccinated which is a responsible corporate concern for the country.”
