24. I think their lead obfuscates what was actually said in the studies and video

The first study they show in the video has nothing to do with vaccines. Your body does have a memory of the viruses it fights. No surprise there, but you can read it if you want.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03647-4

Second study they mention I cannot find, but they summarize as follows:

"The data suggests that immunity in convalescent individuals will be very long lasting and that convalescent individuals who receive available mRNA vaccines will produce antibodies and memory B cells that should be protective against circulating SARS-COV2 variants."

So the average CNBC viewer will receive the following info:

"The data suggests that immunity ... will be very long lasting ... "

But what was actually said was that the immunity would be long lasting for "circulating SARS-COV2 variants", which will mutate in short order. A very lawyerly way of saying that you'll get it once this season, but you may get a different version next season.

We know. That's why boosters are being offered. Ocelot II Nov 2021 #1
I sense the same with Moderna.... FarPoint Nov 2021 #3
That's still 84.5% effective after 6 months. Phoenix61 Nov 2021 #2
That's considering 100% were exposed. We don't know that. mucifer Nov 2021 #4
That's not 84.5% effective unless everyone was exposed to a big enough viral load. Lucky Luciano Nov 2021 #6
The control is vaccinated. Phoenix61 Nov 2021 #17
No that's meaningless for measuring effectiveness of the vaccine. Lucky Luciano Nov 2021 #20

the durability had nothing to do with mRNA, it had to do with how rapidly corona viruses change cadoman Nov 2021 #14
