Is there reason to worry about the new Delta variant? Or, for that matter, any other variant? The answer, according to Michael Yeadon, Ph.D., a life science researcher and former vice-president and head scientist of allergy and respiratory research at Pfizer, is a resounding \u201cNO.\u201d Yeadon explains why in the interview above, which is part of the full-length documentary \u201cPlanet Lockdown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBasically, everything your government has told you about this virus, everything you need to do to stay safe, is a lie,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Yeadon says. \u201cEvery part of it \u2026 None of the key themes that you hear talked about \u2014 from asymptomatic transmission to top-up vaccines [i.e., booster shots] \u2014 not one of those things is supported by the science.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every piece is cleverly chosen adjacently to something that probably is true, but is itself a lie, and has led people to where we are right now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to your susceptibility to variations, or altered versions of SARS-CoV-2, your resilience is more dependent on T-cell immunity, commonly known as cellular immunity. Yeadon elaborates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got four or five different arms of the immune system: innate immunity, mucosal, antibody, T-cells and compliment[ary systems]. There are all of these different wonderful systems that have integrated, one with another, because it needs to defend you against all sorts of different threats in the environment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I\u2019m telling you is that the emphasis on antibodies in respect of respiratory viral infections is wrong, and you can establish that quite easily by doing some searching \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying antibodies have no role, but they\u2019re really not very important. This has been proven. There are some people in whom a natural experiment has occurred. They have a defect and they actually don\u2019t make antibodies, but they\u2019re able to fight off COVID-19, the virus SARS-CoV-2, quite well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way they do that is, they have T-cell immunity, cellular immunity. [T-cells] are cells that are trained to detect virus-infected cells and to kill those cells.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how you defend yourself against a virus. So, all of these mentions of antibody levels, it\u2019s just bunk. It is not a good measure of whether or not you\u2019re immune. It does give evidence that you\u2019ve been infected, but their persistence is not important as to whether you\u2019ve got immunity \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve known this for decades. We\u2019ve known about T-cells for decades. They were clearly in my undergraduate textbooks. And we\u2019ve known about their importance in defending you against respiratory viruses since probably the 1970s, certainly the 1980s \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s quite normal for RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2, when it replicates, to make typographical errors. It\u2019s got a very good error detection, error correction system so it doesn\u2019t make too many typos, but it does make some, and those are called \u2018variants.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s really important to know that if you find the variant that\u2019s most different from the sequence identified in Wuhan, that variance \u2026 is only 0.3% different from the original sequence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll say it another way. If you find the most different variance, it\u2019s 99.7% identical to the original one, and I can assure you \u2026 that amount of difference is absolutely NOT possibly able to represent itself to you as a different virus. [So] when your government scientists tell you that a variant that\u2019s 0.3% different from SARS-CoV-2 could masquerade as a new virus and be a threat to your health, you should know, and I\u2019m telling you, they are lying.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO SUMMARIZE <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yeadon is stating that a virus cannot mutate into a form that is so distinct to the original that your body cannot recognise it. If you have T cell immunity, your immune system will detect the modified virus and deal with it in the same way as it would with the original virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He discusses how, early in the epidemic, investigators collected blood from individuals who had become ill with the SARS virus 17 or 18 years before. SARS-CoV-1, which caused the SARS outbreak, is only 80% identical to SARS-CoV-2. They wanted to see if these patients\u2019 immune systems could detect SARS-CoV-2, which they did.They still maintained memory T-cells against SARS-CoV-1, and those cells identified SARS-CoV-2, despite the fact that they were only 80 percent identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if a 20 percent difference was not enough to circumvent the immune system of these patients, why should you be concerned with a variant that is at most 0.3 percent different from the original SARS-CoV-2? And why would we need booster shots for these near-identical variants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
