Study to find out why some don't get the virus or as bad(pre virus natural immunity)

Interesting research ...much to be learned. In our long-term care facilities, we've only had one outbreak. During the outbreak, very frail roommates never got sick and tested negative multiple times though their healthier roommates were ill and exposed them. Sick residents were moved to isolation as soon as their infection was discovered of course, but still were contagious before being moved.

Since I'm medically advised against vaccination, one of my frustrations throughout the pandemic has been gas stations that don't keep up with refilling receipt paper at their pump stations. I'll get the "clerk has receipt" message and have to n-95 mask up, go in and wait in line for my receipt which was a pet peeve pre-Covid, but especially now. I griped about it one day to a woman about my age in line with me while telling her why I couldn't stand close since she wasn't masked. Told her about my autoimmune stuff. Her reply was "Oh, I have several autoimmiune diagnosis too and have never stayed home, worn a mask and haven't gotten sick." This was only a few months ago.

My first thought was 'stupid person' ...next I wondered why... Had she had a mild case and didn't know it? Was there something protective along the lines of possibilites such as nutritional status (esp Vitamin D), the protective Neanderthal chromosome 12, exposure to a different, milder forms of coronavirus within the past few years that offered protection through the B cell adaption of natural immunity from that prior infection since ...."natural infection births memory B cells that continue to evolve over several months, producing highly potent antibodies adept at eliminating even viral variants." as explained at this Rockerfeller University link.

We have so much to learn about why many, many exposed individuals get mild infections or never catch the disease at all. So many theories that need thorough investigation.

It is pure scientific knowledge that although some people may not get as sick as others from a certain virus, they are still dangerous - because - they are carriers!!!

Allow me to break it down even further for you. For example, if someone has the flu, they may carry the flu virus, but do not show symptoms. But if they cough in someone's face, they give the flu to that person. If they sneeze next to that person they give that person the flu.
Same with the covid virus.
Everyone gets the vaccination and everyone is much safer.

Are you really not understanding Devi or are you just arguing for the sake of it. Whichever, I am done with answering silly questions.

I will still argue with you Shero. Vaccinated, unvaccinated and persons who have had Covid are all carriers of Covid.

I hope you don’t get a false sense of security because you are ”fully vaccinated”.

No, Shero will never get a false sense of security.
That would require having sense to begin with.

I remember that back in 2019, I think in late spring, medical scientists studied the possibility that certain blood-types made people resistant to covid. I don't know if those studies were reviewed and released, though.

I think so too - if my memory is right - blood type 0 was good - I do have 0 but can't remember if it is positive or negative - wish I knew but I did get covid very mild - the worst thing was my lost of taste - think it is 80% or 90% better but still not 100% and will be a year this Thanksgiving - that day was when I couldn't taste anything.

Mine's O- (neg)
Your doctor can tell you what yours is if you wanna know
I hope you can taste your Thanksgiving dinner this year. At least the best bits.

Some who had SARS-CoV-1 in the early aughts still have protective natural B & T cell immunity 13 years post infection. Hoping that turns out to be the case with Covid (CoV-2)..

That should be the case. The only reason it wouldn't is if any part of the virus (such as a protein) can destroy T&B cell memory. This is under study in 3 countries (that I know of for sure).
So time will tell, but at *this time* data shows that natural immunity gives extended protection against severe covid. It's dificult to find that data because some health entities aren't publishing it, but the CDC did - pretty sure I saw it there - Isreal nat'l health agency did, and I believe OurWorldinData did, too.

Annie, in fact, the original SARS virus is gone. Thanks in large part to natural immunity, T&B cell memory, the virus mutated itself right out of existence.
