🌿 Dr. Rashik's Update on IGg4 Phenomenon Post-Vaccination

Dr. Michar Rashik introduces a discussion on the IGg4 phenomenon following mRNA vaccinations, specifically focusing on a paper that examines the effects of an updated vaccine targeting the XBB.1.15 variant. The doctor mentions observing horses by the river, adding a personal touch to the video. The summary of the paper indicates that the updated vaccine leads to greater neutralization of various virus variants, but also shows that the antibodies target different areas of the spike protein compared to the original vaccine, suggesting a change in the immune system's targeting strategy.

05:02

πŸ”¬ Study on Antibody Performance Before and After XBB 1.5 Variant Vaccination

This section details a study involving 24 individuals, examining their antibody responses before and about a month after receiving an mRNA shot designed to combat the XBB 1.5 variant. The study includes individuals with different vaccination histories, some with previous infections that may influence IGg4 antibody formation. The study's findings show a significant drop in neutralization against other variants besides the original, highlighting the concept of imprinting in immune response. The doctor also discusses the possibility of waning immunity and the study's implications on cross-reactivity and immune refocusing.

10:02

πŸ“Š Analysis of Memory B Cells and Variant Targeting Post-Vaccination

The paragraph delves into the study's findings on memory B cells and their targeting of spike protein variants. Before the updated vaccination, memory B cells predominantly targeted the original Wuhan variant, with minimal targeting of other variants like XBB 1.5. After the updated vaccination, there was an increase in antibodies targeting various variants, including XBB 1.5, and a significant enhancement in neutralization. However, the study also reveals that the antibodies are now targeting other areas of the spike protein besides the receptor binding domain, which could potentially lead to autoimmune issues.

15:04

🧬 Exploring the Risks of Targeting Conserved Spike Protein Areas

Dr. Rashik discusses the potential risks associated with targeting conserved areas of the spike protein, which might mimic structures in the human body and could lead to autoimmune conditions. The doctor emphasizes that while the vaccines show increased neutralization against various variants, this enhanced response might come at the cost of targeting more conserved and potentially harmful areas of the spike protein. The summary underscores the need for further research to understand the long-term implications of these findings.

20:06

πŸŒ„ Reflections on the Study's Implications and a Call to Action

In the concluding remarks, Dr. Rashik wraps up the discussion by reflecting on the study's implications and the potential for vaccines to induce antibodies that target conserved spike protein areas. The doctor encourages viewers to consider the information presented, subscribe to the channel, share the video, and engage in the conversation. The picturesque backdrop of horses by the river serves as a serene end to the video, inviting viewers to appreciate the natural world while contemplating the complex issues at hand.

Keywords

πŸ’‘IgG4 phenomenon

IgG4 phenomenon refers to a condition where the immune system produces an excess of IgG4 antibodies. In the context of the video, it is discussed in relation to mRNA vaccines and their impact on the immune system, particularly how they may increase IgG4 antibodies targeting the spike protein of the virus. The script mentions several papers observing this phenomenon post-vaccination.

πŸ’‘mRNA vaccines

mRNA vaccines are a type of vaccine that uses a small piece of the virus's genetic code called messenger RNA (mRNA) to stimulate an immune response. The video discusses how these vaccines, specifically the updated ones targeting the XBB 1.15 variant, may affect the production of IgG4 antibodies and memory B cells, potentially leading to immune refocusing.

πŸ’‘Cross-reactivity

Cross-reactivity in immunology refers to the ability of an antibody to bind to multiple variants of a pathogen, not just the specific one it was generated against. The script discusses how the updated mRNA vaccines may induce cross-reactivity, which could have implications for the breadth of immune protection but also the specificity of the immune response.

πŸ’‘Memory B cells

Memory B cells are a type of white blood cell that 'remembers' a specific pathogen and can quickly produce antibodies upon re-exposure. The video explains how the study in question analyzed the behavior of memory B cells before and after vaccination, noting changes in what variants of the spike protein they target.

πŸ’‘Neutralization

Neutralization is the process by which antibodies render a pathogen harmless by binding to it and preventing it from infecting cells. The script describes how the study measured the neutralization capacity of antibodies produced in response to vaccination, showing increased protection against various virus variants post-vaccination.

πŸ’‘Imprinting

Imprinting in the context of vaccines refers to the initial exposure to a pathogen variant shaping the immune response, making subsequent responses less effective against different variants. The video discusses how the initial mRNA vaccines may have caused imprinting, affecting the efficacy of later booster shots.

πŸ’‘Sterile immune refocusing

Sterile immune refocusing is a concept discussed by Dr. Gerd Ven Bosch, which suggests that repeated immunizations may force the immune system to target different areas of a pathogen. The video presents evidence from the study that this refocusing may be occurring, with memory B cells targeting areas of the spike protein other than the receptor binding domain.

πŸ’‘Receptor binding domain (RBD)

The receptor binding domain is a part of the spike protein that interacts with the human cell's ACE2 receptor, facilitating viral entry. The video emphasizes the importance of antibodies targeting the RBD for effective neutralization and discusses how updated vaccines may affect this targeting.

πŸ’‘Autoimmune conditions

Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. The script raises a concern that targeting conserved areas of the spike protein, which may mimic structures in the human body, could potentially induce autoimmune reactions.

πŸ’‘Variants

In the context of the video, variants refer to different strains of the virus with distinct genetic mutations. The discussion revolves around how vaccines and the immune response may vary in effectiveness against different variants, such as the original Wuhan strain, XBB 1.5, and JN1.

Highlights

Dr. Michar Rashik discusses a new paper on IgG4 phenomena post mRNA vaccinations, exploring the impact of additional shots on IgG4 antibodies targeting the spike protein.

The paper is the 15th to observe an increase in IgG4 antibodies post mRNA shots, with a focus on the cross-reactivity of antibodies targeting multiple variants.

The study examines the effects of an mRNA shot specifically made for the XBB 1.15 variant, highlighting the changes in immune response post-immunization.

The research shows that post-immunization with the updated variant, there is greater neutralization of all variants, not just the XBB 1.5 variant.

The updated vaccines cause antibodies to target different areas of the spike protein than the original shots, indicating a change in the immune system's targeting.

The concept of 'steric immune refocusing' is introduced, suggesting that mRNA shots may be causing antibodies to target less ideal areas of the spike protein.

A study of 24 individuals measures antibody performance before and after immunization with the XBB 1.5 variant-specific shot.

The study reveals a decrease in protection against IgG4 antibody formation with increasing numbers of mRNA shots.

Infection between shots is shown to act like another shot, stimulating more IgG4 antibody formation, but this protection may wane.

The study demonstrates imprinting effects, where initial immunization influences the type of antibodies produced against future variants.

After immunization with the updated vaccine, almost everyone produced antibodies targeting all variants, including XBB 1.5 and JN1.

The paper shows an increase in IgG4 antibodies post-immunization, but not targeting the updated variants as effectively as the original.

Memory B cells' targeting of the receptor binding domain of the spike protein decreases with successive immunizations.

The study indicates that continued immunization may force antibodies to target other areas of the spike protein, away from the receptor binding domain.

There is a risk that targeting conserved areas of the spike protein could lead to autoimmune conditions or other health issues.

The paper raises concerns about the long-term effects of vaccines on the immune system's targeting of the spike protein.

Dr. Rashik emphasizes the importance of understanding what antibodies are targeting and the potential health implications of vaccines.

play00:01

hey everyone it's Dr michar rashik of

play00:03

mar genomics today I'm doing another

play00:05

update on

play00:07

igg4 phenomena this is the first video

play00:10

I'm going to talk about a published

play00:12

paper on ig4 post five Mr vaccinations

play00:18

so this is a new territory we're going

play00:20

to be entering but before I get started

play00:23

if you look really closely behind me

play00:25

there at the bottom of the river I think

play00:27

you might see some horses out of the

play00:30

river it's very very

play00:32

cool so check it out before I walk away

play00:35

from from that see if you can spot it

play00:39

there should be just like little dots

play00:41

all right so let's continue with this IG

play00:44

for Saga I've been neglecting this

play00:46

territory lately because I've done so

play00:48

many videos on this topic but because

play00:50

this is uh based on now

play00:55

additional additional vaccinations extra

play00:58

shots I thought I would give you the

play01:00

latest information on on this topic

play01:04

today and

play01:07

basically apart from this being the this

play01:09

now the 15 paper that I'm going to be

play01:12

discussing when it comes to the

play01:15

observation that mRNA shots increase

play01:20

igg4 antibodies targeting specific uh

play01:24

Spike specifically spikes Spike protein

play01:27

now check out my other videos on on why

play01:30

that might or might not be good uh for

play01:33

an individual in terms of igg4

play01:38

antibodies however this is now I believe

play01:43

uh probably fifth paper now that talks

play01:46

about IGG for antibodies plus four M

play01:50

mRNA shots I think this is a third one

play01:53

third one talks about the B cells

play01:58

producing IGG for antibodies

play02:00

and um I think it's at least fifth paper

play02:03

that talks about cross reactivity cross

play02:06

reactivity means how an basically an

play02:09

antibody can Target multiple variants

play02:13

not just the one specifically that

play02:16

you've been immunized against but it can

play02:19

now Target other variants and this

play02:23

publication talks about what happens to

play02:27

an

play02:28

individual after the f shot but

play02:30

specifically this was a uh mRNA shot

play02:34

that was specifically made for

play02:37

xbb

play02:39

1.15 variant that variant's been uh

play02:43

around a while

play02:45

back even before these vaccines were

play02:48

made available and the vaccines were

play02:50

made available at the latter half of

play02:55

2023 so less than a year ago and the

play02:58

reason why the these vaccines were

play03:01

updated as such is because of the waning

play03:04

immunity observed in mRNA vaccinated

play03:07

individuals um against

play03:11

infections and the take home message

play03:13

here is hey look post postimmunization

play03:17

with this updated

play03:19

variant um basically you see greater

play03:23

neutralization of all variants not just

play03:26

xb1 or the ancestral variant which is

play03:30

the Wuhan variant um and the authors

play03:34

concluded hey this is great news this is

play03:36

exactly what we want to see however this

play03:39

is also the first paper that

play03:44

shows what that the antibodies that are

play03:47

produced with the updated

play03:50

variants are causing the antibodies to

play03:53

Target different areas of the spike

play03:57

protein than the original shot

play04:01

and this is basically change shows you

play04:05

that how the immune immune system is

play04:07

targeted is changes or basically what

play04:10

the antibodies Target is changing oh I

play04:12

don't know if you can see these horses

play04:14

right behind me and there's a baby I can

play04:17

all right well there's some more right

play04:19

there they're coming back up maybe from

play04:21

the from the river this is great I'll

play04:23

stick around here in case we see more

play04:26

because there's a whole heart of them

play04:28

anyway

play04:30

but this basically is the concept of

play04:33

steric immune refocusing that Dr Kur ven

play04:36

Bosch has been talking about as to what

play04:38

is happening with what these what these

play04:40

mRNA shots are are doing and this also

play04:44

explains why we might see increased

play04:46

neutralization but it might not

play04:49

necessarily be a good thing while it's

play04:50

being sold as a good thing to us I'm

play04:53

going to zip this up as well in case we

play04:56

have a gust of wind there's been

play04:58

horrendous wind here anyway so let's uh

play05:01

let's get started with this so what

play05:03

happened here is they took 24

play05:05

individuals and they measured uh their

play05:08

antibodies and the performance of the

play05:10

antibodies before immunization with with

play05:13

the shot that was start specifically um

play05:17

the shot that was supposed to make

play05:19

antibodies against xbb 1.5 variant and

play05:22

after about a month after and um they

play05:24

had a variety of different people here

play05:27

so they had people who were and you know

play05:30

what I had a really really hard time

play05:32

interpreting the language of the of the

play05:34

scientists um of these scientists I

play05:37

believe this was also from from uh

play05:40

us uh my conclusion that conclusion is

play05:43

that we're talking about people who had

play05:45

either four up or five mRNA shots some

play05:48

had four some had five but really the

play05:50

description was so poor that that I

play05:53

wasn't sure maybe it might have been

play05:54

even six shots but I I'm concluding that

play05:57

it is five shots so 12 people or I

play06:00

believe it was actually 11 people had

play06:02

only mRNA shots one person had two Novak

play06:06

shots followed by two mRNA shots and

play06:08

then for the remainder for the remainder

play06:12

12 the prior to the xbb 1.5 mRNA shot

play06:17

there what vaccines they even took

play06:20

wasn't wasn't known to to the

play06:23

investigators oh I better get out of

play06:26

here I do not want have an encounter

play06:30

with a wild

play06:31

horse just uh better be safed and

play06:35

sorry and

play06:37

um and uh so the the the description is

play06:41

a little was a little bit vague to me uh

play06:43

more importantly four of those

play06:45

individuals who had U prior to had any

play06:48

mRNA shots they uh were infected now

play06:52

remember from past videos I was

play06:53

mentioning that it looked like infection

play06:56

can protect against igg4 antibody

play07:00

formation now why is this important oh

play07:03

there's more of them look how beautiful

play07:05

they are H why is this important is

play07:07

because

play07:08

um this study shows that with increasing

play07:13

number of mRNA shots that protection M

play07:15

Wayne and then uh 12 of those

play07:18

individuals got infected in between

play07:20

those shots typically infection between

play07:22

shots act act like another shot to

play07:26

stimulate more IG for antibody formation

play07:31

and

play07:32

uh yeah so the reason why this is

play07:35

unfortunate is because it seems that all

play07:37

of these individuals that we'll be

play07:39

discussing ended up producing igg4

play07:42

antibodies so that means that protection

play07:45

might Wayne now remember I also

play07:47

mentioned that those individuals who had

play07:50

who were immunized first with Nonna

play07:53

shots nonm

play07:55

vaccines were and Then followed were

play07:58

followed by mRNA shots but they seem to

play08:01

also be protected against igg4

play08:03

antibodies again from this paper we'll

play08:04

see that that one individual who had two

play08:07

Nova wax and had subsequently two mRNA

play08:10

shots afterwards they were no longer

play08:12

protected as well they're all basically

play08:14

all individuals in this in this study

play08:16

were producing um igg4 antibodies so but

play08:21

anyway what the what the authors did in

play08:24

this in this study the first thing that

play08:26

did is they looked at neutralization so

play08:29

what is that mean basically you create a

play08:31

a pseudovirus construct with a spike

play08:33

protein of Interest so you can place any

play08:36

variant of Spike protein into this

play08:38

construct and then you can see how this

play08:41

virus construct that is synthesized in

play08:43

the lab so this is not real virus like

play08:46

that is infecting us but something that

play08:47

you can manipulate in a lab how that

play08:50

virus can infect bacteria and how the

play08:52

antibodies collected or basically the

play08:56

antibodies in the blood collected from

play08:58

these individuals might be might be

play09:00

preventing that pseudo virus from

play09:02

infecting the bacteria and this is how

play09:04

basically you can see how well the

play09:06

antibodies are protecting um so this is

play09:08

what is me measured as

play09:11

neutralization and basically what

play09:13

they're showing is that prior to the

play09:15

immunization with that updated xbb 1.5

play09:19

variant what uh all these um individuals

play09:23

and bodies were protecting them very

play09:25

well against the original variant Wuhan

play09:30

uh Spike protein variant but that

play09:33

protection Wan rapidly and precipitously

play09:37

against all other variants and

play09:39

ironically they measured it all the way

play09:41

up to jn1 variant so that's the variant

play09:44

that not long ago was taking over the

play09:46

basically took over the entire world now

play09:48

that is changing so basically you no

play09:51

longer see that that variant is now

play09:54

disappearing it's being replaced but

play09:55

until recently that was the variant that

play09:57

was dominating the world but they were

play09:59

able to show that neutralization against

play10:02

something like xbb 1.5 was the worst it

play10:05

was about 29 times worse than

play10:08

neutralization against the against the

play10:11

original variant now this is called

play10:12

imprinting we've talked about that in

play10:15

some of the past videos as well and

play10:17

basically the idea here is that whatever

play10:19

you immunized against

play10:21

first and therefore the antibodies that

play10:25

you will produce against that specific

play10:27

first variant you ever come into contact

play10:30

with those are the antibodies that

play10:31

you're going to be producing again next

play10:34

time you encounter the pathogen even if

play10:35

it's a different variant and because the

play10:38

antibodies are now supposed to Target

play10:41

we're targeting the original variant

play10:43

there these antibodies are not going

play10:45

going to be as good targeting the future

play10:48

new evolved variant with new mutations

play10:51

right so that's imprinting and and

play10:52

clearly this study shows that there is

play10:54

an imprinting effect right um at least

play10:57

uh with these four four to five

play10:59

immunizations that were done done in

play11:02

these individuals um some of these

play11:04

immunizations when it came to mRNA that

play11:06

included the um included

play11:10

the updated booster as

play11:13

well but uh xbb 1.5 is basically the lat

play11:18

latest one when it came to attempt to

play11:20

manipulate the the results for for what

play11:24

can your antibodies do all right so then

play11:27

that's basically be before the the

play11:30

immunization with the updated xbb 1.5

play11:32

variant so you can see neutralization

play11:34

drops that's because of this imprinting

play11:36

these antibodies are no longer doing the

play11:38

the best ideal job

play11:40

possible let me show a little bit of the

play11:42

mountains as well and

play11:46

basically uh also what they measured is

play11:49

also how many of the individuals they

play11:51

tested were even producing any

play11:52

antibodies targeting specific variants

play11:55

so you could see for example pretty much

play11:57

everyone was producing antibodies

play11:58

targeting

play11:59

the original Wuhan variant but when it

play12:02

came to xv1.5

play12:05

variant uh not even half the individuals

play12:08

were producing any type of antibodies

play12:11

that could Target Target that variant

play12:13

okay so and another thing is that they

play12:17

looked at is of course is the makeup of

play12:19

these antibodies that that were uh

play12:21

targeting these variants and basically

play12:24

they measured um igg1 2 3 and four and

play12:28

the idea here is

play12:30

that the idea here is that about a on

play12:34

average about a quarter of all of these

play12:37

antibodies that were targeting these

play12:38

Spike proteins were igg4 okay but the

play12:43

vast majority of those igg4 antibodies

play12:46

were targeting um the original Wuhan

play12:50

Spike variant and only a small fraction

play12:53

of these of these um prior to

play12:56

immunization with the updated updated

play12:59

vaccine were even targeting

play13:02

xbb 1.15 variant in fact 30% of these

play13:07

individuals didn't produce any

play13:09

igg4 antibodies against xbb 1.5 varand

play13:13

at all so now what happened after the

play13:15

immunization of course this is now what

play13:17

we want to want to see and and this is

play13:21

what continual boosting is how is why

play13:25

it's being sold to the public over and

play13:26

over because after the after they

play13:29

actually these individuals were

play13:31

immunized with these updated vaccines

play13:33

targeting BB 1.5 variant they were able

play13:36

to show a couple things pretty number

play13:38

one almost everyone now produce

play13:40

antibodies

play13:41

targeting targeting um all of these

play13:45

different variants including xbb 1.5

play13:48

including jn1 and the neutralization

play13:52

increased

play13:54

dramatically as well so an increase

play13:57

something around say between to eight

play13:59

fold for all of these for all of these

play14:02

variants on average right like different

play14:05

variants s s different impact but

play14:08

basically the take message of of the

play14:11

authors was like Hey look at look what's

play14:12

happening here these vaccines are

play14:15

overcoming the imprinting problem

play14:18

encountered before and now these V

play14:21

updated vaccines what they allowed is

play14:23

they allowed to neutralize all of the

play14:25

variants um a month after vaccination

play14:29

and that's good this is what why the

play14:31

vaccines are being sold to us because

play14:34

everyone seem to be producing now

play14:35

antibodies targeting all of the

play14:37

different variants that's great that's

play14:39

by the way is what we call cross

play14:41

neutralization when same antibody can

play14:44

Target variety of different variants but

play14:48

what's also very Mark about this paper

play14:51

and this is where it can really tell us

play14:54

valuable new informations they also

play14:55

looked at what type of memory B cells

play14:58

these individuals were were producing

play15:01

meaning memor what were those memor B

play15:04

cells responsible for targeting what

play15:07

type of variants these memor B cells

play15:09

would be targeting meaning B cells

play15:11

remember B cells are the type of cells

play15:13

that are responsible eventually to

play15:15

produce antibodies once they start

play15:18

producing antibodies they're not called

play15:19

B cells they're called plasma cells but

play15:21

I always refer to them as B cells for

play15:23

sake of simplicity so what and then of

play15:26

course memory means they are they are

play15:29

kept around in our body memorizing what

play15:33

they're supposed to Target and when you

play15:35

reactivate them with the next infection

play15:37

they will come back on and immediately

play15:40

start producing the antibodies you want

play15:42

so they basically looked at what do

play15:43

these memor abuses actually Target with

play15:46

their antibodies right so that's where

play15:48

it's really really interesting and why

play15:51

this the preferred narrative might not

play15:54

actually work because what they what

play15:57

they showed is that just have to uh

play15:59

forgive me for the hair but it's really

play16:01

windy

play16:02

here but hey look at the beautiful

play16:04

scenery behind me um so it's just

play16:08

gorgeous and basically what they're

play16:11

showing is

play16:13

that they look at the memor B cells

play16:16

targeting either receptor binding domain

play16:19

of the spike protein which is basically

play16:22

ideally if you want to achieve

play16:24

neutralization is what you want to

play16:25

Target the most okay because why because

play16:28

receptor binding domain of the spike

play16:31

protein as its name suggests is the area

play16:34

of the spike protein that is responsible

play16:36

for interacting with the A2 receptor

play16:38

which is how the the virus gains entry

play16:41

into our cells okay so then if that's

play16:44

the

play16:45

case then of course those will be some

play16:48

of the most neutralizable antibodies

play16:51

those are some of the best ones they and

play16:54

they contrasted that against looking at

play16:57

what type of memor cell are targeting

play17:00

Spike protein anywhere else so besides

play17:02

the receptor binding domain and let's

play17:06

just say on on

play17:09

average on average oh and I don't know

play17:12

if I mentioned this by the way after

play17:14

immunization um they also saw increase

play17:16

in igg4 antibodies as well not a

play17:18

surprise we've seen this but that

play17:20

increase that they saw in igg4 after

play17:23

immunization was not

play17:27

targeting the updated variants uh as

play17:31

well as um the original antibodies there

play17:35

was an increase um in igg4 antibodies

play17:38

targeting other variants as

play17:41

well but uh again the bulk was a it was

play17:44

still targeting the original Wuhan

play17:46

variant

play17:47

but when they look at memory B cells

play17:50

when they when uh when uh they looked at

play17:53

the memor B cells prior to immunization

play17:56

let's say there was just over 2% % of

play17:59

memor B cells just over 2% of memor B

play18:02

cells targeting uh either receptor

play18:06

binding domain of the spike protein or

play18:08

Spike protein anywhere else but when it

play18:11

came

play18:12

to receptor binding domain all of these

play18:16

memor obeses were pretty much targeting

play18:19

the original Wuhan strain very little

play18:22

were targeting xb1 and original Wuhan or

play18:26

xb1 when it came to receptor binding

play18:29

domain almost nothing it was like let's

play18:31

say on average

play18:33

05% less than .1% of any of these memor

play18:36

cells prior to immunization we're

play18:38

targeting targeting receptor binding

play18:41

domain of other

play18:42

variants and then uh slightly different

play18:45

story when it came to what else was was

play18:49

being targeted by these memor B cells

play18:51

anywhere else on the spike protein and

play18:53

here is already interesting component

play18:55

because let's say about 2% just 2.2 2.3%

play18:59

of these memor Bells were targeting

play19:02

Spike protein anywhere else besides me

play19:06

the receptor binding

play19:07

domain and again half of that was maybe

play19:11

around targeting the original Wuhan

play19:13

strain maybe say. 3 to. 4% of these

play19:18

memor of B cells were targeting the xbb

play19:20

1.5 variant and just under 1% 8% was

play19:25

targeting xbb 1.5 and the original Wan

play19:29

strain together meaning those memor B

play19:32

cells had were producing antibodies that

play19:35

were able to Target something specific

play19:37

that was able to recognize both the

play19:39

original Wuhan strain and the XP 1.5

play19:41

variant that already indicates that

play19:43

there had to be some immune re uh re

play19:46

refocusing and the reason why is because

play19:48

this clearly shows you that eventually

play19:51

these memory B cells they no longer can

play19:53

Target receptor binding domain towards

play19:55

the new variants but they're targeting

play19:57

other areas of the Spike protein that

play20:00

allow to

play20:01

neutralize at least in the end these

play20:04

assays we don't know what happens inside

play20:05

the body because no one is measuring

play20:07

this allowed in these laboratory AES to

play20:10

contact the spike protein somewhere else

play20:13

besides receptor Bing domain it clearly

play20:16

shows you that as you keep immunizing

play20:19

what happens is you're forcing the

play20:21

antibodies to start targeting Spike

play20:23

protein somewhere else now where it gets

play20:26

interesting is after what did they see

play20:28

with these memory B cells after they

play20:32

immunized after they immunized uh with

play20:34

that updated xbb 1.5 variant and here

play20:39

there was a little bit of increase in

play20:42

when it comes to targeting the receptor

play20:45

binding domain of the spike proein but

play20:47

only for the again for the original

play20:50

Wuhan variant did that there was no

play20:53

increase in memory B cells basically

play20:55

none to Target any other variants

play20:59

and uh and when it but when it came to

play21:02

other areas of the spike protein there

play21:04

was an

play21:06

increase there was an increase in being

play21:09

able to Target other

play21:11

variants other variants including say

play21:14

xbb 1.5 after immunization with the

play21:16

updated variant with the xbb

play21:20

1.5 away from receptor binding domain

play21:22

clearly this means that with each

play21:25

successive shot what we're are achieving

play21:27

is we are we are basically inducing our

play21:30

body to start producing antibodies to

play21:33

start attacking the spike protein in

play21:36

other areas besides the receptor binding

play21:38

domain this is basically what exactly

play21:42

what Dr ger ven Bosch was showing or has

play21:45

been describing as immune steric immune

play21:47

refocusing meaning we're we are forcing

play21:50

our body to start targeting other areas

play21:52

of the of the spike

play21:56

protein and and as far as I I'm I'm

play21:59

concerned this is the first paper

play22:01

actually demonstrating this via these

play22:04

study of these memory B cells now why is

play22:06

this actually important we are sold that

play22:09

this is great news over and over because

play22:12

look we're clearly showing that there is

play22:15

a increased neutralization that's good

play22:18

the only problem with this is that this

play22:21

neutralization is very temporary and

play22:23

studies show that it wains quite rapidly

play22:26

as well right so that's issue number one

play22:29

and issue number

play22:30

two when you start targeting other areas

play22:33

of the spike protein besides the

play22:35

receptor binding domain you run the risk

play22:38

that you might be targeting more and

play22:40

more conserved areas of the spike

play22:42

protein and why is that an issue is

play22:44

because because the more

play22:48

conserved areas of the spike protein

play22:50

that you target the more likely you are

play22:52

going to be

play22:54

targeting elements of the spike protein

play22:56

that could be mimicking something in our

play22:59

own bodies and if you're producing

play23:01

antibodies that actually are targeting

play23:03

something in our might be also targeting

play23:05

something in our bodies then of course

play23:08

that's when you run the risk of

play23:10

inducing autoimmune conditions

play23:13

potentially right or or you might be um

play23:18

helping uh helping produce other

play23:21

problems so uh this is uh and and this

play23:25

is why it's it's potentially a problem

play23:28

we are being sold on the vaccines for

play23:31

their enhanced neutralization against

play23:34

all variants this is why you should

play23:35

boost and so on and so on but we're

play23:38

forgetting or ignoring the idea that

play23:40

look with that same neutralization

play23:44

enhanced

play23:45

neutralization we might be inducing our

play23:49

an

play23:50

antibodies to start targeting something

play23:53

else in our body and if that's true and

play23:57

we cannot fully know if it's true

play23:59

because the what these antibodies are

play24:02

targeting is almost never studied so we

play24:06

don't really look at what these

play24:08

antibodies supposed to be targeting and

play24:10

therefore How likely they might be

play24:11

targeting something that is also found

play24:13

in our body but if it is were to be true

play24:16

we might be seeing development of

play24:19

aimmune conditions down the road in some

play24:22

of these individuals let's take a look

play24:24

one more look at these Cool Heart of

play24:27

horses so beautiful before I wrap it up

play24:31

so basically that's it I wanted to give

play24:33

you an update on that because I thought

play24:34

this was super awesome very valuable

play24:37

paper that finally shows you that look

play24:40

we might be we might be uh doing uh

play24:44

perhaps some harm with these updated

play24:46

vaccines because of the fact that we

play24:49

have this cross reactivity because cross

play24:52

reactivity would suggest that we might

play24:54

be targeting

play24:56

important conserved areas of the spike

play24:59

protein and if they're conserved they

play25:02

also run the risk of mimicking something

play25:04

in our own body this is why they're

play25:06

conserved inside viruses because

play25:08

normally they're not targeted and

play25:09

they're not normally not targeted

play25:12

because they mimic something in our body

play25:14

so it's already been pre-selected

play25:16

through through say our growth not to

play25:20

Target these areas of our body precisely

play25:22

so that we don't induce induce

play25:24

autoimmune conditions and rather we want

play25:26

to Target other more dominant more

play25:29

obvious more easily targetable areas of

play25:33

the spike protein such as the receptor

play25:34

binding domain and as I was mentioning

play25:37

to you clearly with these immunizations

play25:40

targeting xbb 1.5

play25:42

variant these memory B cells clearly

play25:45

show that they do not lead to increase

play25:48

of antibodies targeting receptor binding

play25:50

domains of other variants but rather

play25:53

these other areas of the spike protein

play25:55

all right that's all I have for you

play25:57

today well it's actually longer video

play25:59

than I anticipated but hey I got

play26:02

distracted and uh and please leave a

play26:05

comment please uh let us know what you

play26:08

what you think about this of course

play26:10

please subscribe to the channel if you

play26:11

haven't already please share the video

play26:13

as well this is how we how we grow and

play26:17

and uh YouTube loves it and we love you

play26:19

for that as well and um I look forward

play26:22

to seeing you in another installment and

play26:24

future video all right bye everyone ciao

play26:26

for now
