Dr. Kevin Stillwagon: The human immune system is a marvel of biological engineering

 



At the heart of our bodies’ defence system is the ability to recognise any foreign proteins that could ever exist, even ones that evil scientists haven’t thought of yet.

The recognition of foreign proteins is by intelligent design and comes from living cells. This extraordinary capability is largely accomplished through a process known as VDJ recombination.

Variable diverse joining (“VDJ”) recombination is the process by which immunoglobulin (antibody) and T cell receptor genes are assembled into functional units during lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) development. This process is crucial for the adaptive immune system, producing a diverse set of antigen receptors in developing lymphocytes.

Virtually any substance can elicit an antibody response. Furthermore, the response even to a simple antigen bearing a single antigenic determinant is diverse, comprising many different antibody molecules each with a unique affinity, or binding strength, for the antigen and a subtly different specificity. The total number of antibody specificities available to an individual is known as the antibody repertoire, or immunoglobulin repertoire, and in humans is at least 1011 (that’s 10 followed by 10 zeros or 100 billion), perhaps many more.

Diversity within the immunoglobulin repertoire is achieved by several means. Perhaps the most important factor that enables this extraordinary diversity is that V regions are encoded by separate gene segments, which are brought together by somatic recombination to make a complete V-region gene. Many different V-region gene segments are present in the genome of a person, and thus provide a heritable source of diversity. Additional diversity, termed combinatorial diversity, results from the random recombination of separate V, D, and J gene segments to form a complete V-region exon....<<<Read More>>>...

Thanks to COVID jabs, billions of people now have broken immune systems

 One category of side effects caused by Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” that have received little attention is allergies, which often come about as a result of the immune damage caused by the injections.

After the shots do their thing concerning the so-called “spike” proteins, they create dysregulated immunity in the form of IgG4, an immune-mediated health condition of bodily organs.

Believed to be an autoimmune disease much like rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, IgG4 seems to be spreading like wildfire among the “fully vaccinated” whose bodies are no longer tolerant to allergens like bee venom, pollen, and peanut proteins.

The fully jabbed are also unable to deal with new diseases they encounter, much like an AIDS patient. Whatever thing happens to be circulating at any given time, the fully injected are likely to catch it while the unvaccinated develop natural immunity.

At this time, herd immunity should have already been achieved. Since it has not, we have to ask ourselves: how can it be those excess deaths are still well above normal, despite most people having gotten most or all of the recommended vaccine injections?

“We have a big wave of deaths in March 2020, then we had two deadly winters, so excess mortality is now supposed to be negative,” reports Rintrah.

“We already ‘ran out’ of the people who would die during the flu season. Yet 27 percent more people died than you would expect last week. That’s supposed to worry people with an IQ above room temperature, but they just call it ‘unexplained’ and try to ignore it...<<<Read More>>>...

European Union FINALLY admits COVID-19 vaccines DESTROY your immune system

 The European Union (EU) has finally admitted that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines destroy the immune system and make people more susceptible not just to COVID but to all diseases. According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), taking booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccines every four months could weaken the immune system and tire people out.

Despite this revelation, the EU is still recommending that people take COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. What the EMA wants to change is the time in between booster doses.

“[Boosters] can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly,” said Marco Cavaleri, the EMA’s head of biological health threats and vaccines strategy. “We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.”

But this revelation from the EMA has not stopped the EU from approving more vaccine doses for its population....<<<Read More>>>....

The Imperial College finally acknowledges pre-existing immunity to COVID-19. What took it so long?

[SOTT]: T-cells from common cold coronaviruses can provide protection against COVID-19, an Imperial College London study has found. Reuters reports on the findings, which were published in Nature.

The study, which began in September 2020, looked at levels of cross-reactive T-cells generated by previous common colds in 52 household contacts of positive COVID-19 cases shortly after exposure, to see if they went on to develop infection.

It found that the 26 who did not develop infection had significantly higher levels of those T-cells than people who did get infected. Imperial did not say how long protection from the T-cells would last.

"We found that high levels of pre-existing T cells, created by the body when infected with other human coronaviruses like the common cold, can protect against COVID-19 infection," study author Dr Rhia Kundu said. The researchers suggest vaccines based on imitating the internal virus proteins that T-cells target may be more resilient to mutations and new variants as those proteins, unlike the spike protein targeted by the current vaccines, "mutate much less".

Cross-immunity to SARS-CoV-2 from other coronaviruses has been proposed since early on in the pandemic as an important element in reaching herd immunity and endemicity (for example, it was mentioned in this Scientist article from March 2020), and became a particular focus of interest in the autumn of 2020 as evidence of it accumulated (see here, here and here). It's good to have further confirmation of this from Imperial (and also recently from UCL), but it has to be said it's pretty late to the party, and it's not clear why a study which began in September 2020 during a public health emergency has taken 16 months to report, particularly when vaccines were brought to market in 10 months. The emphasis of the researchers is on the potential usefulness of the findings for developing new and more resilient vaccines, which contains a tacit admission that the existing vaccines are failing, but also leaves one wondering whether the research has only been published now that it is useful for making new pharmaceutical products. It might be added that the studies on the efficacy of generic off-label medicines against Covid are taking an awfully long time to report.

As Dr. Mike Yeadon explained in his October 2020 piece for the Daily Sceptic, "What SAGE Has Got Wrong", the assumption of a lack of pre-existing immunity and hence universal susceptibility was one of the great errors made by Government advisers throughout the pandemic and which led to an over-reaction that continues to this day. Now that Imperial researchers have acknowledged the existence of prior immunity, will Neil Ferguson's modelling team update its assumptions? ...<<<Read More>>>...

FLU infections sweep through fully vaccinated University of Michigan, shocking the CDC… vaccines destroy the immune system, enhancing vulnerability to EVERY infection

 This is EXACTLY what we, the non-compliant non-gene therapy injected original humans, knew was going to happen.

But did the brainwashed herd mentality humans listen? No ... they fell for the fear narratives and it's now too late for them.

They had plenty of opportunities to learn the truth through independent  research, like us, but instead they went with the MSM lies and fell into the honey trap.

[Natural News]: The University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus reports 313 new influenza cases for the week of November 8th. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was deployed to investigate the outbreak, along with the local health department and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The group handed out questionnaires to determine who was vaccinated for the flu and who wasn’t, and this was reported to the corporate media. The University Health Service reported a total of 528 influenza cases since October 6, 2021. These outbreaks are sudden, rampant and come months before a new flu season was even expected.

“While we often start to see some flu activity now, the size of this outbreak is unusual,” said Juan Luis Marquez, medical director at the Washtenaw County Health Department. “We’re grateful for the additional support of the CDC and our ongoing partnership with the university as we look more closely at the situation.”

The “fully vaccinated” campus is experiencing outbreaks of sickness, but they are taking “flu tests” this year instead of the covid tests. On the week of November 8, a shocking 37 percent of flu tests came back positive. This high positivity rate prompted the CDC to investigate. UHS medical director Lindsey Mortenson claims that these cases are all from the influenza A (H3N2) virus. Most of the students are doubly vaccinated for covid-19, and only 23 percent have received a flu vaccine for the 2021-2022 season.

Just one year prior, nearly every fever, respiratory symptom and sickness was labeled “covid-19.” Because of this diagnostic sleight-of-hand, the flu magically disappeared last year (according to CDC statistics)....<<<Read More>>>....

‘This Ends the Debate’: Israeli Study Shows Natural Immunity 13x More Effective Than Vaccines at Stopping Delta

[Humans Are Free]: Dr. Anthony Fauci and the rest of President Biden’s COVID advisors have been proven wrong about “the science” of COVID vaccines yet again. After telling Americans that vaccines offer better protection than natural infection, a new study out of Israel suggests the opposite is true: natural infection offers a much better shield against the delta variant than vaccines.

The study was described by Bloomberg as “the largest real-world analysis comparing natural immunity – gained from an earlier infection – to the protection provided by one of the most potent vaccines currently in use.” A few days ago, we noted how remarkable it was that the mainstream press was finally giving voice to scientists to criticize President Biden’s push to start doling out booster jabs. Well, this study further questions the credibility of relying on vaccines, given that the study showed that the vaccinated were ultimately 13x as likely to be infected as those who were infected previously, and 27x more likely to be symptomatic.

Alex Berenson, a science journalist who has repeatedly questioned the efficacy of vaccines and masks at preventing COVID, touted the study as enough to “end any debate over vaccines v natural immunity.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Natural Immunity is superior to Vaccination-induced immunity; the vaccinated are going to become Covid-19 variant factories

[The Daily Expose]: Several media outlets in the UK have simultaneously released a story alleging that unvaccinated people are risking their own health and will become potential factories of coronavirus variants.

Dr Schaffner said if infections continue to spread among the unvaccinated, it can hamper the pandemic response. “When it does, it mutates and it could throw off a variant mutation that is even more serious down the road,” said Dr Schaffner according to CNN.

Similarly the World Health Organisation (WHO) recently stated that “The more we allow the virus to spread, the more opportunity the virus has to change.”

Given the lack of proper follow-up data of vaccinated individuals, the real life picture of the epidemiology of vaccinated versus unvaccinated is incredibly muddy. This in and of itself is something of a scandal given that the vaccines use an entirely novel technology, the efficacy of which has yet to be determined. Indeed in one study in Israel, it is noted that ‘clinicians should have a high level of suspicion of reported symptoms and avoid dismissing complaints as vaccine-related until true infection is ruled out and vaccinees are tested.’

There is an assumption in many of these articles that the immunity of populations and individuals are the same. However, most people by now will be aware that the risk of serious illness with the SARS-CoV-2 virus is more likely in the elderly, those with weak immune responses and those in certain at-risk categories such as those receiving cancer therapy or cardiac patients.

The vast majority of the vulnerable population have now been immunised. The proportionate risk to the rest of the UK population has always been significantly lower; in some instances as much as 1000-fold.

There is also an underlying assumption in these articles that there is no immunity without vaccines. This is simply not the case. In September 2020, it was shown that up to 50% of the UK population displayed various forms of T-cell immunity to the new virus from exposure to previous endemic viruses.6 More recently it was suggested that this could be as high as 81%.7 In addition, a recent study found that rapid and efficient memory-type immune responses occur reliably in virtually all unvaccinated individuals who are exposed to SARS-CoV-2, whether they were symptomatic or not.8 So the number of naturally immune individuals will have risen through exposure to the virus over time, even in the absence of symptomatic disease....<<<Read The Original Article Here>>>...

Study Finds Many Uninfected Adults Still Have Strong Pre-Existing Antibody Protection Against COVID

[Collective Evolution]: A study published in March 2021 suggested that the majority of healthy Adults in British Columbia have evidence of pre-existing or naturally acquired immunity to COVID-19. They found this to be the case even in individuals who haven’t been infected, and could be explained by the fact that coronaviruses that already circle the globe, prior to COVID-19, may provide protection from the novel virus. They explain,

There are 4 circulating coronaviruses predating COVID-19 that cause up to 30% of seasonal upper respiratory tract infections (8). The spike proteins of β-coronaviruses HKU1 and OC43 exhibit approximately 40% sequence similarity, whereas the α-coronaviruses NL63 and 229E exhibit approximately 30% structural similarity with SARS-CoV-2 (9). The common occurrence of circulating coronaviruses year after year and their structural similarity with SARS-CoV-2 raises the possibility that the former may stimulate cross-reactive responses toward SARS-CoV-2 and that this heterotopic immunity may impact clinical susceptibility to COVID-19 and/or modulate responses to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (10, 11)….In conclusion, this study reveals common preexisting, broadly reactive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in uninfected adults. These findings warrant larger studies to understand how these antibodies affect the severity of COVID-19, as well as the quality and longevity of responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

We are living in a world where anything “natural” seems to be shunned by a large portion of the medical community, and defined as “pseudoscientific”, when in fact, research suggests the opposite.

Natural immunity is quite robust. Dr. Suneel Dhang, an internal medical physician in the United States explains,

I’m not aware of any vaccine out there which will ever give you more immunity than if you’re naturally recovered from the illness itself…If you’ve naturally recovered from it, my understanding as a doctor level scientist is that those antibodies will always be better than a vaccine, and if you know any differently, please let me know....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

What Does it Take for a Strong Immune System?

[Waking Times]: We should be rolling in the dirt, gardening, wrestling with some brambles and skinning animals for supper. These are important immune system builders.” – Joel Salatin, author, organic and sustainable farmer of Polyface Farms, Virginia, USA

A strong immune system is not achieved through a syringe, pill, miracle plant or supplement. Nor does it come from the use of antibacterial soaps and the creation of a sterile environment without “microbes”. In fact, considering the poor health of many people in modern society, we can say that immunity can no longer be obtained exclusively from a healthy diet and a few natural remedies. It’s not enough anymore. The epidemic of allergies, obesity, gastrointestinal problems, chronic infections, malabsorption and many others have a direct connection to an immune system that has suffered profound dysfunctions.

So where does immunity come from? It comes from normal things that people have been doing for thousands of years, knowing instinctively what is good for them. Modern society has forgotten these aspects or disregards them ...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
