A Strange Pandemic for John Hollis, Naturally Immune to COVID
The Seattle Times ^ | Dec. 9, 2022 | Ariel Hart

Posted on 12/09/2022 11:47:25 AM PST by nickcarraway

It was summer 2020 and John Hollis, a publicist at George Mason University, was asking a scientist about his research on COVID-19 antibodies, when the scientist turned the tables. The scientist, Lance Liotta, asked his own question: Would Hollis like to join the study as a subject?

Less than a week later, Liotta was standing with his staff fixated on the computer screen of his lab assistant, marveling at the numbers representing Hollis’s blood sample. Liotta marched back to his office to call Hollis.

“He says, ‘Are you sitting down?’” Hollis recalls. “‘Because not only did you have COVID, and you didn’t know it, but you have super antibodies in your blood — that make you immune.’”

Not only was Hollis almost completely immune to COVID-19 then, he has continued to be, even as the virus has mutated to new variants, subsequent testing shows. He might even be immune to other diseases, though testing hasn’t confirmed that yet. And unlike the vaccines, whose power fades and requires booster shots, so far his COVID immunity keeps going strong.

“I had my blood drawn just recently, the first time in almost a year and a half, OK?” Hollis said. “The super antibodies are still at a maximum level. Still. It’s ridiculous.”

Interesting. But a key question was left out:

Has Hollis received the vaxx despite his super immunity or not?

I’m guessing not. And that’s a good thing. He’s more likely to die of other causes by taking this unapproved vaccine than if he got Covid in the first place.

That you know of.

For some, it was so minor it was a day’s sniffles.

*shrug* guess it’s possible, but we all have amazing immune systems, we never get the flu shot and never catch that either.

What world are we living in?

This virus has been around for a couple years ... and there is a “vaccine” for it ... and this article almost sounds like it has discovered a new scientific phenomenon which they have decided to dub “immunity” or (even better) “super immunity”.

As I understand this advanced scientific discovery, I think it means that if you “recover from a disease” there is a chance that you may in fact not ever get that disease again. WOW! There must be a Nobel Prize in this for someone.

I never got it, my 2 younger brothers never got it, my dad never got it. That is until Thanksgiving. We all got it at the same time. Lasted a couple of days with tiredness and coughing but nothing major. We think it was the Omnicron variant.

When I was very young, my mother made sure I had every communicable disease known to man before I was 10. She would say things like, go play with little Johnny, he has the mumps, and then I would contract the mumps. My immune system got quite a work out and has served me well over the years. I am 78. My GP was almost threatening me if I did not get the covid vaccination. I told him my reasons to decline and it just never got through to him. I went about my life as usual the past couple of years and never contracted anything. This is anecdotal evidence I know, but it works to justify and appreciate my mothers efforts.

I’ve never had it, been in the hospital twice for surgeries and still didn’t catch it (and you know there are a lot of sick folks in hospitals). No Vax for me thanks

My 84-year-old Mother and I, both unvaxed, got the Delta variant. She has a bad case of COPD and requires a walker to get about, and I'm 64 with plenty of co-morbs myself.

After catching COVID within one week of one-another, she had nothing more than a headache for a single night, and I was sick for two days and tired for two days. For those last two days I enjoyed the time off work.

We did Zinc with Quercetin and D3, along with "horse paste" daily for a couple of weeks, and we both got the antibody injections within hours of testing positive at home.

We're still on the vitamins, and will stay on them through next Spring. That will probably become a permanent habit.

But, we're really enjoying God's wonderful gift called "natural immunity".

I guess now that I've got all this leftover horse paste, maybe I should get a horse or two!

I too have tested positive for the antibodies, but have never had the symptoms. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been on the Dr Zelenko protocol, which is daily zinc, quercetin, Vitamins C, D, etc. I’ve added 2x daily NAC and 1x week HCQ (200mg). Not even a sniffle last 2.5 years. The Dr Marik protocol, very similar, states it was cannot guarantee immunity, but it can mitigate the symptoms. Perhaps that’s what happened to me.
