As we know that the world has been severely affected by the COVID-19. Millions of people from many countries had been suffering from this deadly virus and its evolving variants for the past year. Currently, very few vaccines are launched in the market.
People are confused over which will provide better protection against COVID-19; is that natural Immunity developed by an Infection or a Vaccine? A new study of vaccines and naturally acquired immunity does provide effectively neutralized COVID variants, said Dr. Fauci and other fearmongers.
A large study by UC Irvine research settled the debt that natural infection can provide protection. But Pfizer and the Moderna kick had the natural immunity in protecting against COVID-19.
With Vaccines Antibodies Increased by 10 Times!
The researchers have found that after the second shot of mRNA, the vaccinated people had an increase in antibody levels by 10 times higher, which was found in convalescent plasma from the people who were recovered from the natural infection.
These mRNA vaccines also help in detecting other novel coronavirus variants. Vaccines are giving hope to the people in effectively fighting against emerging variants that are circulating over the world.
mRNA Could Detect Virus Variants
mRNA is used for a very specific task, that is, to recognize a very precise section of the virus. The virus can also manage to hide, but this vital receptor can detect it, so if the immune system doesn't see it, antibodies can’t develop by it.
That is How it Works
If a person is infected by the virus, then the body's natural immune system helps to improve the antibodies. Whereas in mRNA; The Vaccine instructs the Body to create itself or ask spike protein to allow the immune system to produce antibodies.
Antibodies developed due to vaccination are 10 times more than antibodies developed through natural infection. It is good to get a shot for COVID-19.
Who Shouldn’t get the COVID-19 Vaccine
According to the UCI, researchers have found that those who had organ transplants and who are on immune-suppressing drugs shouldn’t take vaccines as it doesn't help in developing the antibody levels after vaccination.
Mr. Felgner said that it was like a dream that we would have imagined a vaccine discovered so fast and working efficiently. mRNA vaccine has a very great response of increased levels of antibodies only in a few days.
Nucleic Acid-Based Technologies Targeting Coronavirus
Nucleic acid was discovered many years ago, which has been a passion of scientists over the decades; now, it shows very good progress in science. As a reason, we can be prepared like we are in today's situation. The University of California is licensed for detecting antibody levels that are used for a coronavirus antigen microarray which is the intellectual property of them.
