A group of scientists from the University of Gothenburg has gone another step forward in their quest to learn how the immune system acquires resistance to COVID-19. According to the findings from a new study a hidden immune feature helps the unvaccinated defeat Covid.
156 personnel from five primary care health institutions were enlisted during April and May 2020, and the scientists at the University’s Sahlgrenska Academy researched them for six months. During the peak of the pandemic, none of these staff had been immunized against COVID-19, and the bulk of them had to work with sick patients on a regular basis.
They found IgA (immunoglobulin A) in the respiratory tracts of numerous of the individuals who were not infected with COVID-19, suggesting that they had an antidote in their immune systems all along.
These antibodies are located in mucous membrane secretions in the airways and gastrointestinal tract, wherein they defend the body by attaching to viruses and other invaders.
An antidote in the immune system
Since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, COVID-19, an infectious disease produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has resulted in the deaths of almost 6 million individuals. Indeed, according to certain experts, the actual number of lives lost to the COVID-19 by the end of 2021 was 18.2 million, upwards of three times the reported death toll.
Certain people seem to be more seriously affected than some others, with some reporting very minimal signs and others being hospitalized and needing breathing assistance. The goal of this study was to find health characteristics that seemed to protect unvaccinated people from COVID-19.
“We all have IgA,” stated Christine Wenners, a member of the research group and professor of clinical bacteriology at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, as well as a senior physician at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. “It’s found on the mucous membranes, and COVID-19 is an infection that spreads via those membranes. We thought it was important to investigate what happened when completely healthy people encountered the coronavirus, before vaccines became available.”
“Of the participants in our study, none whom contracted COVID-19 required hospitalization,” she continued. “A lot of other research has concerned the most seriously ill patients, who have been hospitalized and in need of intensive care.”

Health factors
A third of the care staff produced antibodies against COVID-19, per the findings of a study published in the European Journal of Immunology (read below), and they were divided into two groups based on antibody patterns and COVID-19 incidence.
COVID-19 had no effect on one group of people who only had IgA antibodies. Participants in the other group, who possessed both IgG antibodies and T cells, became ill.
IgA antibodies were found in all of the individuals who did not test positive or who were ill. Being female and having a respiratory allergy were two other variables that tended to protect against infection.
The results, on the other hand, refutes the idea that those who do not have antibodies towards COVID-19 have protective T cells, which are immune system cells that target particular foreign particles.
It is worth noting that the majority of COVID-19 vaccinations are extremely successful in preventing serious disease, hospitalization, and death. In fact, as the Omicron subvariant BA.2 takes over as the prevalent form of COVID-19 in many countries, researchers have observed that two doses of COVID immunization appear to minimize the likelihood of infection caused by the new subvariant.
Study Abstract:
The patterns of humoral and cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 were studied in Swedish primary health care workers (n = 156) for 6 months during the Covid-19 pandemic. Serum IgA and IgG to SARS-CoV-2, T-cell proliferation and cytokine secretion, demographic and clinical data, PCR-verified infection, and self-reported symptoms were monitored. The multivariate method OPLS-DA was used to identify immune response patterns coupled to protection from Covid-19. Contracting Covid-19 was associated with SARS-CoV-2-specific neutralizing serum IgG, T cell, IFN-γ, and granzyme B responses to SARS-CoV-2, self-reported typical Covid-19 symptoms, male sex, higher BMI, and hypertension. Not contracting Covid-19 was associated with female sex, IgA-dominated, or no antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2, airborne allergy, and smoking. The IgG-responders had SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses including a cytotoxic CD4+ T-cell population expressing CD25, CD38, CD69, CD194, CD279, CTLA-4, and granzyme B. IgA-responders with no IgG response to SARS-CoV-2 constituted 10% of the study population. The IgA responses were partially neutralizing and only seen in individuals who did not succumb to Covid-19. To conclude, serum IgG-dominated responses correlated with T-cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 and PCR-confirmed Covid-19, whereas IgA-dominated responses correlated with not contracting the infection.

Unfortunately unable to access the study from this website. An url for the website whre it can be found would be helpful.
Keep up the good work!
So does this: Covid Crusher: Mix one heaped teaspoon of Iodine table salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If sore, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the soreness goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don’t have any soreness at all, when you flush – job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia, there too.
My simple salt water cure, kills all Coronaviruses and viruses, as soon as you think you have an infection, or while self isolating, before the viruses mutate into the disease in your head and body, for which there is no cure – that is, after you have been out shopping, or mixing with people with potentially, Omicron or Delta viruses, or any other virus.
It washes behind the eyes, the brain bulb, brain stem (Long Covid), The Escutcheon Tubes to the inner ears and the top of the throat which is at a point roughly level with half way up your ears and not where your mouth is and down the back of your throat, when sore.
I have been doing this simple cure for over 27 years and I am and others, never sick from viruses and there is no reason why any of you should be either – when your only alternative are those vaccines!!
Happy days, this is the next virus from China, coming back with the athletes which took part in the games over there: Dr Li-Meng Yan Reveals CCP Spreading Hemorrhagic Fever Bioweapon Via Olympics, and She Shares the Cure According to Dr. Yan, the CCP has developed a new bioweapon that is currently being unleashed to the world during the Beijing Olympics. This new disease is a form of viral Hemorrhagic Fever that has a much higher fatality rate than Covid-19. According to Dr. Yan, cases of the disease have been seen throughout China and just this week it popped up in the United Kingdom.
According to UPI:
Health authorities said they have diagnosed two cases of a viral hemorrhagic fever in Britain, and possibly a third -- marking the first time the illness has been seen in the country in over a decade.Officials said the cases of Lassa fever involve members of the same family and are linked to recent travel to western Africa, where the illness is endemic. Two of the cases are conclusive and the third hasn't been confirmed yet. Lassa fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic illness and infection usually occurs through food or household items contaminated with urine or feces from rats who are carrying the virus.
Symptoms of Lassa fever include fever and fatigue -- and in more severe cases, bleeding in the mouth, trouble breathing and low blood pressure. Most people who contract Lassa fever don't develop any symptoms and it's fatal in only about 1% of cases. The new cases are the first in Britain since 2009.
The problem with this report is that the disease is not standard Lassa fever, but something new that was created through gain-of-function research, according to Dr. Yan. She noted that CCP military scientists worked with Liberia to study Ebola in 2014. They also sent six groups of scientists to Sierra Leone to study Lassa viruses, most recently in 2020.
If she is correct, and all of her predictions have been proven accurate so far, this could mark the beginning of very troubling times in the world. Covid-19, while dangerous to the elderly with the earlier variants, seems to be rapidly fading. Governments around the world are lifting restrictions (though some, such as Canada, France, Australia, and the United States, continue to head in the other direction). It seems like the perfect time for the CCP, with the Olympics in Beijing, to spread a new bioweapon.
According to Dr. Yan, there is already a cure and the CCP is in the process of procuring as much of it as possible. It is a Johnson & Johnson drug called Darzalex (daratumumab). According to Cancer.org, the drug is currently used to treat multiple myeloma, but Dr. Yan said the CCP discovered it is effective against their new bioweapon as well.
Stay frosty, folks. The CCP has their sights set on world domination. Unleashing a dangerous disease and cornering the market on the cure may be their fast path to achieving their goals.
The key word here is “virus” – remember my free salt water cure for viruses – that should save you from this virus, or the Coronavirus which becomes Covid
@Michael Yeah, I hate that too, about GGI. THey always act like they have a copyright. Not just on PDF files either, as they RARELY ever post the link to an articles Source !!
What I do is open another browser window to DuckDuckGo and type in the articles full title and add PDF at the end. Bang Zoom. Then I opften come back to the GGI post and offer it up to those who would prefer to see it full sized or even download it to save and or read later.
