Common cold may give children immunity against COVID-19, reveals study
Medical Xpress / Karolinska Institutet / Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ^ | March 14, 2023 | Marion Humbert et al

During the pandemic, medical doctors and researchers noticed that children and adolescents infected with COVID-19 became less ill than adults. A possible explanation for this is that children already had a prior level of immunity to COVID-19 provided by memory T cells generated by common colds.

After studying unique blood samples from children taken before the pandemic, researchers have now identified memory T cells that react to cells infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Four coronaviruses cause common colds

A possible explanation for this immunity in children is that they already had colds caused by one of the four coronaviruses causing seasonal common cold symptoms. This could stimulate an immune response with T cells able to also react to cells infected with SARS-CoV-2.

This new study reinforces this hypothesis and shows that T cells previously activated by the OC43 virus can cross-react against SARS-CoV-2.

"These reactions are especially strong early in life and grow much weaker as we get older," says the study's corresponding author Annika Karlsson, research group leader at the Department of Laboratory Medicine, Karolinska Institutet. "Our findings show how the T-cell response develops and changes over time and can guide the future monitoring and development of vaccines."

Strong immunity at the age of two

The results indicate that the memory T-cell response to coronaviruses develops as early as the age of two. The study was based on 48 blood samples from two- and six-year-old children, and 94 samples from adults between the ages of 26 and 83. The analysis also included blood samples from 58 people who had recently recovered from COVID-19.

Simply Obscene: FDA Approves Fourth COVID Shot for Infants and Kids Under 5
Children's Defense Network
March 15, 2023
By Suzanne Burdock

Infants and children 6 months through age 4 who received the three-dose primary series of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine are now eligible for a fourth dose — Pfizer’s bivalent booster shot.

One of my very early suggestions back in 2020 was to examine whether existing known human coronaviruses could give some immunity to covid-19.

It’s the cowpox vs smallpox scenario.

Dr. Yeadon, former Chief of Science for Pfizer’s infectious diseases division, said that a researcher located people who had experienced SARS2003 and tested them with the virus in 2021 or early 2022. The patients maintained their immunity from having had SARS about 17 years ago.

He then tested those SARS2003 patients with Covid. They were immune as well. There was a little over 22% similiarity between Covid and SARS and the body doesn’t need to experience ever virus - just has to experience similar ones.

The Plandemic is based on the knowing lie that Covid was supposedly classified as a ‘novel’ virus. If Covid had been ‘novel’, then none of us would have any immunity to it at all. That’s the lie - they knew back then Covid was not ‘Novel’ but you can’t lock down a society and enact mandates with just a flu or illnesses to which the public has ‘some’ immunity. They had patents on parts of Covid in hand when they were lying and saying (FAUCI) this was ‘NOVEL’ and none of us had any immunity and we needed ‘vaccines’.

Many people never got covid (immune) or had mild cases (partially immune) and the ones that were severely ill were denied all reasonable treatment - ventillators only. ANY illness we refused to treat medically and just warehoused people without antibiotics/anti-virals, would result in a marked death toll.

This was all a lie. And it makes you wonder why we need ‘annual flu shots’ (hint: we never did).

They tried with H1N1 to get panic going and I recall Fauci frustrated and shrilly demanding we take it seriously and get vaxxed etc. But they couldn’t get their H1N1 Plandemic off the ground.
They just worked on their evil plans until they fine tuned censorship/threats/firings etc and information capture.

“Four coronaviruses cause common colds.”

Two cause the common cold, one causes bronchitis, and one pneumonia.

Coronavirii have been around an estimated 55 million years.

There are no real vaccinations for the ‘rona or the influenza virus because they mutate all the time.

Covid is nothing more than a cold anyway. The main killer of people with covid in the early stages was the scamdemic treatment authorized instead of what worked. The jab came along and made things worse.

Wow….no kidding!

Exactly what real docs and scientists suggested, from the get go, of this ScamDEMic.

Yet, the evil Pharma hacks are now pushing for a fourth $hot for kids.

Evil!!

Both hub and I had Upper Respitory infections in Dec 2019, standard treatment. I took no jabs, just vits/mins and Quinine Bark. He had 1 J/J, had a minor heart event, the Cardio is hard to get into, took 3 days, by then we knew it was a death jab.

2 of his daughters had 4 jabs, they get covid every few months, the 1 who avoided it is the most liberal, since her 16 yr old nearly died of Gardasil they take no vaxes. FEB 24 • 13M
205. EVERYTHING YOU WISHED YOU NEVER HAD TO LEARN ABOUT GARDASIL
After the COVID jab, it is the second most dangerous and damaging “vaccine” ever invented.

COVID is the same as a winter Cold.

I wonder if we can cause a global monetary shift while killing a million or more innocent people with this COVID/Cold “thing”?

Don’t you dare call it Genocide.

ProtectOurFreedom :" Infants and children 6 months through age 4 who received the three-dose primary series of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine

Now, try to tell me that the FDA/ CDC aren't already "owned" by Big Pharma funding.
Where are the vaccine clinical trials for children under 5 years old ?
This is another case of failure to conduct a "risk assessment".
The CDC already admitted to not checking their own VAERS website for averse reactions to the fore mentioned "vaccine" for a couple of years.
In my opinion, this solidifies the distrust of Federal healthcare agencies in the U.S.
