Antibodies against the novel coronavirus declined rapidly in the British population during the summer, a study found, suggesting protection after infection may not be long lasting and raising the prospect of waning immunity in the community

Scientists at Imperial College London have tracked antibody levels in the British population following the first wave of COVID-19 infections in March and April.

Although immunity to the novel coronavirus is a complex and murky area, and may be assisted by T cells, as well as B cells that can stimulate the quick production of antibodies following re-exposure to the virus, the researchers said the experience of other coronaviruses suggested immunity might not be enduring.

“On the balance of evidence I would say, with what we know for other coronaviruses, it would look as if immunity declines away at the same rate as antibodies decline away, and that this is an indication of waning immunity at the population level.”

They didn't test levels at all. Your linked report is wrong. They simply tested for the presence of antibodies over three months, and found 'Our study shows that over time there is a reduction in the proportion of people testing positive for antibodies'

I don’t think anybody listens to the “new studies” anymore

Has Covid killed off the flu? Influenza cases nosedive by 98% across the globe. Featured on - Daily mail online on Twitter.

Many people have had it more than once

susipudjiastuti 😮😮😥 Not a good Idea.!! That's mean Just only transit in the body and then disappear... 😮😮

'MAY' 🙄

Wait?! Really?! Viruses *EVOLVE*?!!!!!?!?!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... no sh**, Sherlock.

Science is racist.

And we know this, but the TCells have the long term immunity! Children have more of innate immunity!! C’mon folks. Get some REAL info!!

HOLY BITCOIN, BATMAN!!! No stopping her now! A week after the PayPal/Venmo adoption, JP Morgan is on board and Microstrategy announced $100 million profit in two month investment!!! Industrial and commercial industry FOMO is going to drive the price to the mooooooon!!!! 🚀

🤔🤔

Many people will never get the flu or covid. Immunity is complex. Let stop pretending we understand immunity based on circulating AB’s.

Imperial College has done a lot of damage to society.

Study by Imperial College London scientists suggesting coronavirus antibodies may not last long pokes holes in herd immunity nonsense. Herd immunity is just mass murder brought to u by Donald Trump.

Tough Times!

While you are at it, could you investigate the possibility that this virus is actually man-made or man-modified? This virus is just too effective in its ability to transmit itself.

Lookup “t-cells” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Until we start seeing a lot of repeat infections, this doesn’t have much evidence.

Any stats for the reinfection rate, please?

susipudjiastuti MacronGoneMad

if there is no immunity,,,,there is no reason to create a vaccine...

People can catch a flu twice a month😒 We aren’t immune from flu either

T-Cells. Google them, idiots

Suggests nothing of the kind. ignorance

How to end the COVID-19 pandemic StopCovid GreatLockdown

Don't forget the T-cells!

This is a deceptive study, because the test that was used was not a quantitative test, merely + or -. Mild infection produces mild antibody response which can decay over time, that doesn’t mean high ab response to a well dosed vaccine will disappear quickly.

Study Shows Covid-19 Antibodies Waning Over Time, Suggesting Immunity Might Wear OffAn English study showed the number of people with Covid-19 antibodies declined over the summer, suggesting that getting the virus may not confer long-lasting immunity. Then why aren't we seeing millions and millions of reinfections? Or it might? Or you could be LYING 😂😂😂 Immunity lasts 17 years at least.

I’m so sick of the pandemic. Someday we will be able to enjoy normal again but I don’t know how much of the world before covid will be there waiting. 🥺 Know a few people who have had COVID in April and now they don't have antibodies when tested.
