My wife and I both have had pretty bad head colds & throat irritation for about a week. Started last week with mild symptoms but got progressively worse. Both tested negative for Covid & Strep last week. Just got tested again yesterday and awaiting results.
Interesting paper, but I draw your attention to the authors conclusions
*These data are consistent with the decline in Spike-antibody and neutralising antibody levels observed after infection.* - Basically antibody decline is no different than what is seen in recovered unvaccinated Covid patients
*As such, the clinical implications of waning antibody levels post-vaccination are not yet clear, and it remains crucial to establish S-antibody thresholds associated with protection against clinical outcomes.* They need more data, to reach a clinically significant conclusion.
*This analysis should be repeated with a larger number of participants to allow better adjustment for potential confounding, and with longitudinal follow-up of antibody dynamics in individuals over 6–12 months to establish plateau levels, or time to seroreversion.* Study should be repeated with a larger sample size and for a longer period
*my post said we are one variant away from efficacy failure.*
As far as I'm aware we are now up to the Lambda variant.. The South Africa variant, to which your links refer, is the Beta variant. So we have had at least half a dozen variants since then.
*Thats exactly what the studies show,*
No, the studies in your links do not show that we are one mutation away from efficacy failure. I suggest you read them again.
*Frankly, Trump probably couldn't care less about the rest of the world as long as the US was seen to be and respected as the number one nation on the planet*
In my book you have just contradicted yourself. LOL. If he couldn't care less about the rest of the world, why does he care about their respect and being number one ?
Again, has nothing to do with your original post. All these links are related to the AZ vaccine and have nothing to do with requiring a booster in 6 months. POP!!!
Sorry man, I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you, but vaccines, drug development and patient treatment in general are not an exact science. Our bodies are all wired slightly differently so it's not an exact science (think of Sickle Cell in Blacks, Absence of aldehyde dehydrogenase in Asians etc). Also tetanus vaccination doesn't last forever, Rabies shots for your pets only last a couple of years. Welcome to the world of moving target diseases and evolution

Since the Delta variant appeared we have since had Eta, Iota, Kappa & Lambda variants. It won't be the last.
