This Youtu.be is interesting although it is a bit dense?
The number 1 take away (for me) is that it emphasizes the role of T-cells in asymptomatic Covid-19 infections. This needs to be explained more clearly to the public at large, which will, IMO, alleviate some of the angst about travel, dining out, work in groups, etc.
The title and part of this YT is about people who “never get Covid-19”, but there’s a lot of basic immune system information that applies to our population, regardless of whether everyone has the “correct gene/s”.
The part I liked best is explanations about MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex proteins), activation of T-Cells (and B-Cells), and that after activation, T-Cells are adatable while B-cells are “fixed”. This T-Cell adaptablitlity is why the lack of publicized T-Cell information is important.
The last couple minutes give data out of TX (take any TX data with a grain of salt?) and the effects of vaccinated vs unvaccinated on deaths in the various age groups.
The previous 20 minutes explains part of the WHY there’s a difference.
As the author points out, each person’s reaction is different, based on MANY conditions.
I liked the explanation of the WTAGAAAYY (a protein) epitope on the spike protein that is a target for vaccines.

I also want to see better information and publicity about T-cell and B-cell longevity.
And a better explanation that teases apart the functions and longevity of the various antibodies: IgG vs IgA vs IgM vs IgE vs IgD.
