Covid Variants vs. Corona Virus Vaccines ...

AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson plus Immunity

Medcram.com interview
https://www.medcram.com/

Video Duration 54:24
Recorded March 23, 2021



Virologist, Shane Crotty, PhD
https://www.lji.org/labs/crotty/#overview

Shane Crotty, Ph.D., and his team study immunity against infectious diseases. They investigate how the immune system remembers infections and vaccines. By remembering infections and vaccines, the body is protected from becoming infected in the future. Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective medical treatments in modern civilization and are responsible for saving millions of lives. Yet, good vaccines are very difficult to design, and very few new vaccines have been made in the past 10 years. A better understanding of immune memory will facilitate the ability to make new vaccines. Dr. Tony Fauci, NIH, referred to some of the Crotty lab work as “exceedingly important to the field of immunogen design.”

Thank you for this. The video of him discussing how mRNA vaccines work took care of any reservations I (and friends) may have had about them. This one goes further into how effective they are. I’m glad he’s doing these interviews.
