Moreover, he referred to "cross-immunity". That is not what this paper is about. The concept of x-protection is very exciting. We *hope* that pre-existing cross-reactivity may afford some level of protection. But it is unfounded to base public health policy on these findings.
Atlas mentioned T-cell immunity and cross-immunity as two different things, so you agree on that. Is the disagreement whether T-cell response after COVID19 infection leads to some form of immunity?
"Cross-immunity" hasn't been shown, only "cross-reactivity" - seems like hairsplitting, but it's the key difference. And yes, we don't know whether having (cross-)reactive T cells is protective.
What would it mean if there is no outbreak during the winter in NY?
Don't get me wrong, I believe that SARS-CoV-2 induced T cells afford (some level of) protection. Cross-reactive T cells are present in many people, but they can still get infected. Whether they positively impact the course of disease is currently under heavy investigation
Thanks Lars. So you agree with Atlas that SARS-CoV-2 induced T cells afford some immunity, and some people w/o antibodies are protected. I suspect Fauci also agrees. That is why it was so strange. On the other hand, cross-immunity is uncertain. Appreciate your patience with me.
