  1. CW: Covid, vaccines, asking for advice

    Since several people liked my post above #AskingForAdvice about the #Novavax versus #mRNA #covid19 #vaccines, I thought I'd share this article from Science magazine that I found on the subject: science.org/content/article/sh.

    It sounds like overall more research is needed, like so many other things related to #covid. But I appreciate folks weighing in with their knowledge of the #vaccine options and #ImmuneResponse!

    And ultimately, we're still in a #pandemic. #CovidIsNotOver, and the best thing we can all do to protect each other and ourselves is to #MaskUp and get the latest vaccine, whether it's Novavax, #Pfizer or #Moderna.

    If other folks who are #CovidCautious or #ZeroCovid or know about #Immunology or #epidemiology want to weigh in, please do! I've boosted several responses from folks giving more info, some in favor of mRNA vaccines and some in favor Novavax.

    Antivaxxers and covid deniers will still be blocked.

  2. CW: Covid, vaccines, asking for advice

    #CovidCautious folks, a question about the new #covid19 #vaccines came up in my local group and I was hoping folks here could weigh in. Is it better to get the #Novavax or #mRNA vaccine for #covid, especially in terms of preventing infection and transmission?

    For a long time in #StillCoviding circles, I was hearing that Novavax seemed to give broader immunity to a wider range of variants. But more recently, I've heard that Novavax doesn't illicit as strong a T-cell response as the mRNA vaccines. This claim seems counter to what I'd heard previously, and I'm hoping those who know more than I do can weigh in.

    Regardless, I realize that getting any #vaccine is better than not getting vaccinated. And I know that #CovidIsNotOver and will #WearAMask because that's the only reliable way we can prevent infection and transmission.

    Antivaxxers and covid deniers/minimizers who respond will be blocked.

  3. Low-Dose Covid-19 Vaccine Generates Strong Immune Response

    Ultra-low quantities of an experimental Covid-19 #protein #vaccine delivered in synthetic cell components are shown in lab animals to generate strong #immune responses.

  7. A cool experiment on CD8 T cell proliferative expansion and memory.

    Upon adoptive transfer (to a different mouse) "functionally competent T cells can retain the potential for extraordinary population expansion and longevity well beyond their organismal lifespan."
    (at least 10 years!)
