How herd immunity from coronavirus is developed

A safe and effective vaccine is not expected until at least 2021, so how does herd immunity work, and how can this method help in getting us back to our lives and preventing the spread of COVID-19?

A key factor to consider is that many vaccines DO NOT provide long-lasting or lifelong IMMUNITY. Vaccines only confer TEMPORARY ARTIFICIAL IMMUNITY and sometimes they fail to do that. This has been shown to have important generational ramifications as well. Infants under age 1, who used to be protected in the first year of life by getting natural maternal antibodies from their mothers, who had experienced and recovered from measles in childhood, are now susceptible to measles from birth.
That is because most young mothers today have been vaccinated and measles vaccine-acquired maternal antibodies are far less protective than naturally acquired antibodies. To understand why this is so, you need to understand a little bit about how your immune system works.
There are two systems that fight disease in your body. One is the innate system that is always ready to work and the other is the adaptive arm of immunity. The adaptive arm consists of Th1 and Th2. Both are necessary but Th1 is commonly known as the cell mediated arm, and Th2 known as the humoral or antibody arm.
Most vaccines preferentially stimulate the Th2 or humoral part of the immune system. Measured antibodies in the blood (antibody titers) may be reflective of partial immunity, but it is not a perfect correlate to full immunity that involves both innate (cellular) and humoral (adaptive) immune responses, such as those obtained after recovery from viral or bacterial infections.
The benefit of only measuring humoral immunity as a means of measuring vaccine effectiveness is that it can be easily determined by drawing blood samples and conducting lab tests. If specific vaccine-induced antibodies are present in the blood and judged to be in high enough quantities, the person is presumed to be immune to that infection and protected.
Evidence of the profound importance and effectiveness of the innate and Th1 immune system can be demonstrated in individuals who are unable to genetically generate antibody production, a condition called agamma-globulinemia. When individuals with this condition were exposed to measles, they recovered just as well as those who were able to make normal antibodies.
They also had protection in the future upon re-exposure. This discovery was made in the 1960s when measles vaccination programs were just getting underway, and demonstrates that production of antibodies is not necessary for the natural recovery from measles and acquisition of protective immunity.
Other research published in 2011 demonstrated that antibody-mediated immunity is not necessary to neutralize viruses like vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), again calling into question the idea that elevations in vaccine-induced antibody titers are necessary to produce immunity against all infectious diseases.

The real herd immunity was the friends we made all along

No one is immune right. Yet I still haven't had anything close to being sick and I'm an essential worker

[gusarmstrong]

Looks like official narrative is covering it's tracks.

Back in February my family and I and everybody I know was sick as hell it felt like a heart attack on the right side of my chest I could feel my lungs burning for two weeks I couldn't eat and even at one point. Thought Death wood be preferable. 3 million Travelers came in from Europe and January and February and you have to consider at least a third or maybe more had covert or had been exposed to it and carried it back all through the states. We need antibody testing and I know it's going to run the numbers up but I think that we have heard immunity in greater numbers than we think. Only testing will tell.

Trump tested negative for brain cells.

Media did this, we wrote it all down for when it's over and the devil comes for all their souls.

[ericpizza]

Honestly this prob is already happening
Study show good chance most is might of had it already and didn’t even know we had it

[neoasura]

I've seen how immune compromised a lot of home schooled kids were when I was growing up compared to public school kids, no thanks, open it back up.

[talmar]

The elites are playing this back and forth game of do this, no wait a minute do this ! Divide and conquer strategy end game!!!

[abreathoftruth]

Omg...they dumbed this down & made it a cartoon as if they were teaching CHILDREN & ppl fell for it hook, line & sinker. Has no one looked at any info beyond like march 20th?

Covid 19 = The crowning of the beast system

[tonysmith]

Not from HIDING from life no one will get here immunity

[kolbymartin]

Someone's getting fired for posting against the agenda 😂

[bradleyoneil]

Viruses mutate so yes you will get it again if you've had it

[AuntAlnico]

Actually not many people get so sick from covid, very few infact have gotten sick let alone died so...




Heard immunity seems to be working just fine without vaccines so....

[Curious]

Question, they combine all the flu virus each time you get the flu shot, so could that be causing the mutation?

[andreamoscoso]

The stanford study had major flaws. This is known and proven. It is not reliable information. The main thing the reporters and everyone watching needs to know is that it is known that it will be about at least 2 years before 70% of a population can develop "some sort of immunity" this is coming from many notable people. If you look at most other major pandemics it was roughly 2-3 years before that number could be achieved.

Yes people need to work but unfortunately I still see many people being careless and wreckless not doing thorough prolonged research not knowing what kind of proper filters are out there that they can use in masks and yet there are still many in NYC for example that refuse to wear any mask, I've seen many.
Antibodies do not necessarily equal immunity.
