Bookworm Beat 8/30/21 — the “does anybody really know what time it is” Joe Biden illustration edition
Americans and the world are finally getting a deep glimpse into the disaster that is Joe Biden and the immorality that is leftism.

154 Apparently Biden didn't just check his watch the one time. It was after every casket was received.

"I hope you burn in hell!", she screamed at the Resident.

'I hope you burn in hell! That was my brother!' What sister of Marine killed in Afghanistan screamed at Biden during Dover casket ceremony where he 'wouldn't even look' relatives in the eye

Read the science!

To every snot-nosed “journalist” who accosted me in the halls of Congress and spouted Fauci-isms denigrating natural immunity— read the science!

Harvard Epidemiologist Says the Case for COVID Vaccine Passports Was Just Demolished - FEE https://t.co/cAFhE6O8JO

— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) August 30, 2021

584 Here is a paper that shows what the vaccine does to your immunity profile after infection. That is, someone who recovers from Covid, then gets jabbed:

Convergent epitope-specific T cell responses after SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination

See figure 2, chart 'g'. Note how it shifts the recognition toward the spike, and reduces the non-spike recognition. It lowers the total recognition, and shifts that remainder to spike.

Go way down to the supplemental, chart s7, and you'll see profiles of individual subjects. It lowers the total for all except one, but shifts all toward the spike.

Heavy spike recognition in the natural immune profile is associated with severe disease. The worse it hits you, the more spike recognition you're gonna develop.

The World Health Organization Oversold the Vaccine and Deprecated Natural Immunity
Jeffrey A. Tucker, Brownstone, Aug 29, 2021

Whereas in the past, vaccines and natural exposure were regarded as partners in disease mitigation, this time they were set up in competition, with all respectable voices pushing vaccines and shouting down anyone who dared break the silence about natural forces.

That propaganda push started 18 months ago but it has now completely unraveled. The largest study yet comparing Covid vaccines to natural infection has produced results that would have surprised no one 50 years ago. “Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections” demonstrates that natural immunity is more powerful and broader in terms of preventing infection – a truism of cell biology known and refined over the ages. This is consistent with many other studies over the past year,

677 There is a T-cell test for immunity, called T-detect or something like that. Costs $150 IIRC. It will detect T-cell reactivity and confirm a previous infection even if antibodies have waned to nil.
