COVID novel? likely not: In Vancouver, Canada in early 2020, a majority (more than 90%) of uninfected adults showed preexisting antibody reactivity against SARS-CoV-2
determined that more than 90% of uninfected adults had antibody reactivity against spike protein, receptor-binding domain (RBD), N-terminal domain (NTD), or nucleocapsid (N) protein from SARS-CoV-2
Key findings:
About 1500 people in study had full symptoms of COVID-19, and about 75% of these participants first reported these symptoms in December 2019 and January-March in 2020.
Interestingly, the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2, which is commonly targeted in other serological tests to monitor natural immunity, was often found to not elicit antibodies in confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Over 90% of the participants in the first SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing study had detectable antibodies against different proteins in SARS-CoV-2, which indicated a much higher level of infection of Canadians with the virus and higher antibody levels than previously reported.
“between May 17 and June 19, 2020, showed clear evidence of a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, after adjusting for false-positive and false-negative test results. Using a highly sensitive multiplex assay and positive/negative thresholds established in infants in whom maternal antibodies have waned, we determined that more than 90% of uninfected adults showed antibody reactivity against the spike protein, receptor-binding domain (RBD), N-terminal domain (NTD), or the nucleocapsid (N) protein from SARS-CoV-2. This seroreactivity was evenly distributed across age and sex, correlated with circulating coronaviruses’ reactivity, and was partially outcompeted by soluble circulating coronaviruses’ spike. Using a custom SARS-CoV-2 peptide mapping array, we found that this antibody reactivity broadly mapped to spike and to conserved nonstructural viral proteins. We conclude that most adults display preexisting antibody cross-reactivity against SARS-CoV-2, which further supports investigation of how this may impact the clinical severity of COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 vaccine responses.”
I was very sick with the worst “flu” that I have ever experienced (and I have had many) the middle of January 2020. I live in the lower mainland here in BC! I had profound fatigue, fever and a cough that was so productive that it was scary what I was coughing up for 2 weeks! I kept saying to my husband I should call the doctor but nah because he would only tell me it was a virus!! As a retired health care worker (now 80 yrs old) I knew this too would pass and I’m thankful it happened before the fear porn of Covid! I did my research as the months passed and decided very early on this was a “scamdemic”and of course never considered the jab. From what I have learned I will never get another shot!!
Sadly I can count on one hand the number of family that listened to me and have resisted the jab! And I am the only one in my nursing class of 15 who remained unjabbed and they kindly asked me to stop sending them information! My sister is already lining up for her 5th shot!!
A large part of the panic was the alleged fact no one had any immunity to this new pathogen. Looks like we have yet another lie exposed.
