COVID-19 antibodies preferentially target a different part of the virus in mild cases of COVID-19 than they do in severe cases, and wane significantly within several months of infection, according to a new study by researchers at Stanford Medicine.
The findings identify new links between the course of the disease and a patient s immune response. They also raise concerns about whether people can be re-infected, whether antibody tests to detect prior infection may underestimate the breadth of the pandemic and whether vaccinations may need to be repeated at regular intervals to maintain a protective immune response. This is one of the most comprehensive studies to date of the antibody immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in people across the entire spectrum of disease severity, from asymptomatic to fatal, said Scott Boyd, MD, PhD, associate professor of pathology. We assessed multiple time points and sample types, and also analyzed levels of viral RNA in patient nasopharyngeal
That 2020 made telehealth the norm, rather than the exception, has led to an expansion of the Stanford Medicine Virtual Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Program for Adolescents and Young Adults, which was launched by two physicians late last year.
The program at Lucile Packard Children s Hospital Stanford in Palo Alto serves about two-dozen patients who are adolescents or adults 25 or under throughout California.
It was founded by Dr. Geoff Hart-Cooper, medical director of the Stanford Medicine Virtual PrEP Program, in partnership with Stanford Children s Health; and Dr. Megan Vo, the associate medical director of the Virtual PrEP Program. (Both declined to say how they identify.)
Stanford Algorithm Fails to Deliver Appropriate Healthcare
Stanford used an algorithm to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine and it prioritized senior faculty over front-line workers.

Stanford University used an algorithm to decide who would get the first 5000 doses of the coronavirus vaccine and it did not go well, prioritizing senior faculty instead of front-line, low-paid healthcare workers.
Artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms are increasingly being used across the healthcare system, including in psychiatry. Indeed, apps that conduct extensive surveillance of users’ texts and GPS tracking are being given to people with mental health diagnoses, despite no published evidence that the algorithms they generate provide any accurate information or any improved outcomes.
