Virus Neutralizing News Today

Different as republican senators voted to acquit last time. Ben sass is squarely placing the blame on trump for the deadly capitol riot. As republicans like sass and Marjorie Taylor greene struggle for the partys identity after trump. Politics isnt about the weird worship of one dude. The party is his. It doesnt belong to anybody else. Were going to first begin our coverage with msnbc news correspondent kristen welker. Thank you for joining us. Lets talk about that jobs report not necessarily lo...

If you get that third immunization, and i stress its critical that you get that third immunization to get that big rise in virus neutralizing antibiotics, youre looking at a 70 to 75% effectiveness from symptomatic illness, so not as good as it was versus the delta variant, and then one last piece is we have some additional data out of germany showing that that rate of protection may decline pretty quickly after you get the third dose versus omicron because youre getting a drop in virus neutrali...

People say, i had it so im immune. im like, really? >> we have now studies from the centers for disease control showing that if youre vaccinated on top of getting infection and recovery, you have a twofold less likely risk of getting reinfected, so we have a study from kentucky. we have another study on top of that, so the key is if youve been infected and recovered, you have unknown levels of immunity to reinfection. some people develop really robust virus neutralizing responses and t-cell resp...

Go ahead,. mixing and matching, the one thing that came out with one of the studies, today that was published in the mid archive, is it showed possibly that if you got the j&j vaccine, the amount of virus neutralizing in a body with the second dose of j&j was lower, compared to either the 2 am and our vaccines, and youre seeing a lot of press saying that its not as good as getting an eminent are as a boost. i had pushback on that a little bit, because the way it, it was a small study number one,...

Always look at the data early on from the phase one and phase two data, i thought that was the two-dose vaccine, as well. >> listen, this is the last question. i hear people and it just disturbs me because i want people to be informed when they say this is -- this vaccine is new and whatever. the mrna technology is not a tu n -- new technology, right? this has been worked on for awhile. the covid-19 vaccine, right, because its novel is a novel virus, its new but the technology through which this...

She is now director of the republican accountability project. thank you both for joining me this evening. doctor hotez, let me start with you, tell me about this new booster shot that trump thinks is a scam. why do we need it and why are we finding out about it now? >> mattie, everyone of us thought since day one that this would be a three dose vaccine, and i can imagine that if the president were in meetings back in 2020, he would have realized that as well. and the reason is this, those clinic...

Are really dramatic changes to the structure of the virus it is and a completely different virus that undergoes the process. were not really seeing it with covid, although we are seeing new variants. it may be the case if you get really jacked up levels of virus neutralizing the antibody, that will be sufficient and provide the extra level of protection that were going to need. we dont know for sure. well have to continue to watch it. the fact that i think we will get a pretty robust response. w...
