A small study of breakthrough infections provides further evidence that Omicron likely benefits from immune imprinting, or Original Antigenic Sin, in the vaccinated. The authors, mostly from UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley, conducted neutralisation assays on 144 plasma samples from 81 individuals, 63 of them double-vaccinated, and 18 of them boosted. None of the subjects had been infected prior to vaccination, but 53 suffered breakthrough infections. Thirty-nine of these breakthroughs were probably Delta, and 14 were Omicron.
It's very simple. More jabs, more variants, more disease and impaired immunity in the jabbed. You can't jab your way out of a pandemic but tell that to the jab cult.
Brilliant: "Your immune system isn’t going to invest heavily in fighting minor threats, and in this it much wiser than our governments and public health establishments."
Apparently the virus is also wiser than government and medical industry.
Minor criticism: calling the medical industry "public health" is incorrect. They're uninterested in our health, only our sickness.
Agree and amplify a core take-away for me: "It is hard to imagine a worse strategy than universal vaccination against a single, obsolete virus protein." Hear. HEAR!
Great article. I am very sorry for the vaccinated people. Not everyone is a "covid researcher" and people were scammed into taking a "vaccine" that is actually an "anti-vaccine". Instead of "immunity", the vaccinated got "anti-immunity".
Another, very important, evidence of OAS is contained in the UKHSA reports. OAS and repeat reinfections is my favorite topic and I wrote an article about that yesterday:
The short of it is that vaccinated people fail to produce N antibodies after "breakthrough infection", thus simply increasing quantity of worthless S-antibodies against two year old Wuhan strain.
Thus, no multi-antigen immunity for the vaxxed.
This means that they will be reinfected endlessly with Ba1, Ba2, or whatever next mutation will be.
The Berkeley article, albeit very interesting, has results that are fully explainable by this OAS, which totally misses the point of what natural immunity is. Thank you for bringing it up and criticizing it.
Covid is your basic cold and flu and has been with humans for thousands and thousands of years. The NWO reaction to C19 was planned to destroy Democracy and capitalism. Job well done.
Anecdotally, my brother and his family and his in laws are all fully vaccinated. They have all also had Covid after having had the shots, and now some of them has Covid again. The same goes for my wife's parents. They had the two shots, got Covid, had the booster and has now gotten Covid again.
Seems the shots ensure you can get Covid multiple times. Just like the flu shots.
I wish they gave us an apple-to-apples comparison. Let's see a chart of unvaccinated Delta convalescents' response to Omicron and a chart of unvaccinated Omicron convalescents' response to Omicron.
" There will be seasonal SARS-2 infection spikes probably for as long as humans walk the earth"....and we can thank the NIH for their scientific recklessness, their enablers in the Chinese Communist Party and factions within the US Government for that.
Oh and big Pharma for their utterly botched vaccination programmes.
As a few others have pointed out (Steve and Igor to name a few), the UKHSA reports say that N antibody levels are lower in individuals following vaccination.
OK break it down for me. I’m not vaxed. Just finishing with omnicron. Obviously I’m protected against omicron again for a pretty long time. What about the other existing variants?
One thing to point out about Original Antigenic Sin is that, whether it is widespread or not, that the intent of the body is to operate off of heuristics. It's much easier to mount a prior immune response with the hope that it works rather than start from scratch against a new variant. It appears that many of these assays are measuring neutralizing capabilities from prior infection and vaccination against Omicron, and unfortunately the amount of spike protein mutations in Omicron prevents a lot of cross-neutralizing activity. It's no wonder people are referring to Omicron as it's own COVID pandemic.
What is interesting is that there is a relationship between severity of illness and production of neutralizing antibodies. That itself creates a paradox with Omicron considering that most infections are mild, one would have to wonder how long-lived the natural immunity we are all getting will hold up. It would also bring into question if those who have been vaccinated and boosted, and thus "possibly" having milder illness have prevented themselves from gaining the proper immunity that they otherwise would have gotten.
I'll also add a self-plug to my Omicron writings because why not?
What would happen if a more lethal Omicron type variant were released? I know "it's over" is trending among some, but why would TPTB stop now? Why did TPTB go this far, and no farther? I don't trust.
Omicron and Original Antigenic Sin

I have a suspicion that Omicron is the vaccine itself. One of my coworkers got Covid immediately after his booster.
In B4 "but is it peer reviewed!"

Isn't this just great for Branch Covidians? :(

Why is the first known version of the virus referred to as the "wild type"?
