After Son Takes His Own Life, Father Warns Against Extended Pandemic Lockdowns
NORTHBROOK, Ill. Dylan Buckner’s bedroom looks like a typical teenager’s room, filled with sports trophies and plastered with posters of football stars.
Chris Buckner, Dylan’s father, points to photos and toys of cheetahs, saying Dylan liked the animals because of their speed. He gestures to a large model of a fish, a life-sized replica of the first one he caught with Dylan.
Almost everything in the room has been left untouched since Dylan’s death three months ago an attempt by his parents to preserve his memory.
Washington: Results of a new study led by researchers of The Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggest vaccination against COVID-19 remains crucial even in young adults who were previously infected.
Although antibodies induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection are largely protective, they do not completely protect against reinfection in young people, as evidenced through a longitudinal, prospective study of more than 3,000 young, healthy members of the US Marines Corps conducted by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Naval Medical Research Center.
The findings were published in the journal The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Our findings indicate that reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 in healthy young adults is common, says Stuart Sealfon, MD, the Sara B. and Seth M. Glickenhaus Professor of Neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and senior author of the paper.
Study warns young adults still at COVID-19 risk after infection
A study on more than 3,000 young, healthy US Marines has found that a previous COVID-19 infection doesn’t entirely protect young adults from reinfection from the virus. The research comes from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, which notes that young people should still be sure to get the COVID-19 vaccine even if they’ve previously caught and recovered from SARS-CoV-2.
The study took place from May to November 2020 and found that out of the participants who had previously had COVID-19, 10-percent experienced reinfection. Using a variety of testing, the researchers found that the participants who experienced reinfection with the virus also had lower levels of antibodies compared to the participants who didn’t experience reinfection during the study period.
