Synopsis
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/Eef5-AGQOCo IgG antibodies against the CoVid spike protein have a calculated half-life of 725 days. French virologists just published this conclusion following their study of 1,309 health care workers 393 of whom had become infected with CoVid. Over the first 9 months following infection, protective anti-spike antibodies diminished moderately but faster in men than in women. Approaching one year post infection though, the levels of anti-spike antibodies stabilized. These antibodies showed a protective level of 96.7%. Vaccination of these health care workers with one of several vaccines drove a 1000-fold increase in antibody levels. Testing of these antibodies revealed their effectiveness against most variants. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.07.21256823v3.full.pdf+html #CoVid #antibodies #variants
