Singapore Scientsts Find Widespread T-Cell Immunity

Singapore, 16 July 2020 – The T cells, along with antibodies, are an integral part of the human immune response against viral infections due to their ability to directly target and kill infected cells. A Singapore study has uncovered the presence of virus-specific T cell immunity in people who recovered from COVID-19 and SARS, as well as some healthy study subjects who had never been infected by either virus.

This is an important study which the media are ignoring. It essentially says CV19 may not really be so novel after all, and that there many be far more existing immunity in human populations than previously thought. This is critical new information people need to know about.

Critically, they found COVID-19 killing T-cells in 50% of people who've never had COVID-19 or SARS.

as well as some healthy study subjects who had never been infected by either virus.

'They didn't know they were infected' is not the same as 'they had never been infected'. Antigen specific T cells don't come out of thin air.

How long before DNC stooge Fauci gets the partisan media shills to say that our T-cells need to be wearing masks?

[mbs6]

Which is why they postulate that other strains of coronavirus, even common colds, may produce the necessary T-cells.

I’ve suspected for a while that the ‘other’ corona viruses out there, and there are a plenty, the ones that are not deadly or very rarely are, have stimulated immune responses in people that don’t get it or show no symptoms..............

Saw a guy yesterday in Sam’s wearing a tee shirt that had the Mona Lisa on it wearing a hospital type mask...............

Humanity has been bombarded by coronaviruses for our entire existence, and people seem to act like this one is special. It is not.

"Antigen specific T cells don't come out of thin air."

I found this in the Article:

"Our team also tested uninfected healthy individuals and found SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in more than 50 percent of them. This could be due to cross-reactive immunity obtained from exposure to other coronaviruses, such as those causing the common cold, or presently unknown animal coronaviruses. "

The person could have been exposed to some other less dangerous coronaviruses to generate those T cells.

I believe this is similar to the way they found the Smallpox vaccine. They found Cowpox a less dangerous form gave immunity to smallpox.

CDC Smallpox history

This could explain why the homeless people did not get infected in large numbers with Covid-19. A lot of people figure the homeless people would be wipe out. Maybe the homeless people have been expose to a coronavirus that now protects them from Covid-19. Just speculating possibilities.

It’s like people have forgotten we have an amazingly effective immune system. The word has gone mad in our insane overreaction.

Critically, they found COVID-19 killing T-cells in 50% of people who've never had COVID-19 or SARS.

This is very important. If accurate it means other corona viruses that we have all had in the past is giving some degree of immunity. If one remembers they were predicting 75 million or more deaths world wide from Covid19. It did not happen. This may be the reason why.

We may be approaching herd immunity.

'They didn't know they were infected' is not the same as 'they had never been infected'. Antigen specific T cells don't come out of thin air.

In fact, the people studied who had never been infected by either virus were not just people "who didn't know they were infected." If you read the journal article, it says (note: in regards to terminology, SAR-Cov-2 is the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19):

Donors were either sampled before July 2019 (n=26) or were serologically negative for both SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies and SARS-CoV-2 NP antibodies23 (n=11).

So they indeed had never been infected.

You are correct. It was noticed that Milk Maidens did not contract smallpox and that started the investigation. They discovered almost all had cowpox at one time and thus came the smallpox vaccine.

It really is amazing to watch the reaction to this nonsense. Sad really.....

I enjoy reading history, history of all sorts. I sometimes try to remember any country who has so thoroughly destroyed themselves, in such short order, over something so minute.

[mbs6]

This new data definitely fits as a puzzle piece into explaining quite a bit of what has been observed over these last months. It’s possible large swaths of people are not at much risk of developing serious infection, and may explain why so many cases are mild to non-existent.

note the suffix -19

There are at least 18 other covids and we don-t know how many with 20+ suffixes.

[mbs6]

Thank you for sharing that about smallpox, I learned something new.

Does the “T” in “T-cells” stand for Trump?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Just yesterday I was reflecting on why the homeless haven’t been wiped out by COVID as was feared back in March and April. Does living in squalor without heat or AC get you exposed to lots of diseases that confer immunity? Even with compromised immune systems caused by living on the street?

This is quite remarkable.

[walkingdead]

Stockholm showed herd immunity threshold at 17%. Sweden showed it at 14%. Both match up nicely with the early cruise ship outbreak. Perfect environment for the spread of a virus and only 17% were infected. The reason was T cell immunity.

Of course the fear mongers are trying to bury all this, but they cannot bury nature nor the human immune system. Fact of the matter is, herd immunity is very low due to hummanities near constant contact with coronaviruses.

People really need to wake up

It was noticed that Milk Maidens did not contract smallpox and that started the investigation. They discovered almost all had cowpox at one time and thus came the smallpox vaccine.

I didn't know that about the Milk Maidens. That is amazing.

That is like John Snow observing that cholera was occurring near a specific water pump at Broad Street in the Soho district of the City of Westminster, London, England.
