To the common cold, we think. so, this is not covid, this is a related virus. the theory goes if you have been exposed to one of those cold viruses, could it give you protection against covid? that is what this research has looked into. they took 52 unvaccinated people, in september 2020, before people had vaccines, and half of the people in households of those 52 managed to contract covid and half didn't. they looked at the half that didn't and they had much higher levels of t cells, memory immunity cells linked to previous exposures to common colds and coronaviruses. the conclusion they have...

Are being infused back into his body at university college hospital, london. all other cancer treatments have failed to stop his leukaemia returning. car—t is his best hope. it's a living drug inside me now. it's a medicine which lives in me and itjust replicates inside the bone marrow. every time it sees a sort of cancer cell, zap. fingers crossed? fingers crossed, yeah. car—t stands for chimeric antigen receptor t—cell therapy. part of the patient�*s own immune system, their t—cells, are removed from their blood. in a laboratory, these cells are modified. a gene is added to enable ...

Covid and half didn't. they looked at the half that did not and they had much higher levels of t cells, memory immunity cells linked to previous exposures to common colds and coronaviruses. the conclusion they have come to is that it looks like if you have been exposed to this form of the common cold in the past it might be giving you more protection against covid, which is really interesting. it is something scientists have been thinking about for ages but it is one of the first studies suggesting that. let's get more on the news that 100,00 workers from what the government has categorised as...

Novak djokovic. is that true? i know people that got it twice. doesn't that mean your natural immunity doesn't stop you from getting covid again? >> yeah, joy, first of all, ms. mcdowell, i'm glad you came here because i think more people actually agree with you and have your feeling. here's the problem with natural immunity. it doesn't last at the same levels forever. the antibodies that you have measured, we know now that those antibodies specifically are not as protective against omicron. you are correct, vaccines don't prevent you from getting infected, they are meant to prevent disease. w...

The third dose of an mrna and second dose of the j&j. it's natural for the antibodies to go down, but there are things that aren't easily measurable, to look at the level of the memory response, both memory b-cells that make antibody and t-cells that give you durable protection. if that goes out for a longer period of time, that will determine how often you need to get boosted. i don't think one can project that right now until we get the data. >> are there any signs of the booster shot or that third dose having diminishing protection? we know some people got that third dose, more than five mo...
