How is immune protection measured? It would seem like you can't skip serology measurements - otherwise how would one know if the participants even had an immune response to the variants you were studying? But it does make sense to further associate outcomes with the serology. But that doesn't have to happen in the same studies and coudl be covered by separate studies.
- peteradio 4y agoImmunity doesn't only come from antibodies, but frustratingly we get misleading headlines like "prior infection from omicron does not boost immunity" or the like and when you look at where those statements are coming from you discover its based entirely on blood tests which only cover a narrow window of the immunity picture. Its like putting a hand over one eye and claiming you can't see.
