By Murray Hunter, published 16/12/2022

Developing cross immunity may have been the best public health strategy.

Inconclusive, maybe, perhaps. As for T cells, we're able to remove some from patients with, e.g., cancers, grow many more and return them to the patients to massively improve their immune response and recovery prospects.

The problem with this (let it rip Boris) garbage in garbage out, single study is, that it claims a herd immunity response which was not evidenced! And that infected patients with good immunity could and did infect others with notable lethal outcomes.

For example, the Italian pandemic and that enormous death toll that followed was, which included numerable health workers, we were informed, started by a single Asymptomatic Chinese tourist.

COVID 19 has killed more folk than two world wars and the Vietnam war combined. Resulted in mass graves as health orders and isolation advice was routinely ignored.

As new variants emerge/mutate, even those who had mild symptoms earlier on, may have subsequently gotten sick enough to require hospitalization and intensive care. I see nothing in the referred to (non-peer reviewed) study to recommend it.

I do think that existing T cell therapy could be useful as would hyperbaric oxygen therapy and UV sterilization of wards between patients as management.

Moreover, I believe a new genetically enhanced vaccine that is being developed using a part of the virus that never changes with mutation, could prove efficacious.

In the final analysis, A healthy economy is absolutely dependent on a healthy population. And that is not achieved by allowing COVID 19 to mutate into ever more contagious and virulent variants that ensure our hospital wards are forever filled and overflowing.

This is a nightmare scenario that suggests the inmates have taken over and are now running the asylum.

The article's 20/20 hindsight approach ain't that useful.

Looks like another strand's on the way- "Experts" where are you & what are you doing to avoid a repeat of the first round ?

Trump didn't consider COVID 19 much of a problem either until he got it and was nearly killed by it.

Had he not had all the privileges of office and a smorgasbord of treatments, he could have joined the ranks of old timers knocked off by this virus.

Any cherry-picked study that selects facts and ignores other and is not peer reviewed is worthless garbage in my view.

Suggest this one is tossed as rubbish that tries to give economic outcomes a higher priority than health.

And if applied, would force the poor to attend work when sick rather than stay home and not infect countless others with a killer virus.

Murray, leave medicine to health professionals and stick to business and making more and more millions.
