I think the obvious question is whether we should be taking a "hybrid" approach to vaccination. That is, a deactivated virus followed by an mRNA vaccine. I'm due for a 3rd Pfizer shot in less than 2 weeks, and I'm wondering if I can convince the CVS people to give me J&J. Probably isn't so easy, but I'm going to ask.
Wasn't there a study suggesting astra biontech to be superior to biontech biontech when it comes to the delta variant? It's the reason why in Germany they started to give combined vaccinations. I am also wondering whether I am more protected now that I got astra had covid (gamma/Brazilian variant) hopefully biontech (coming soon)
I've heard others talk about it, but I didn't see any data. I guess the other good question is whether it works in the other direction, too. Like if you had an mRNA vaccine then you get covid or a virus vaccine, do you get the same immunity? Really fascinating stuff.
Any conspiracy theorist will go bonkers for this passageIn fact, these antibodies were even able to deactivate a virus engineered, on purpose, to be highly resistant to neutralization. This virus contained 20 mutations that are known to prevent SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from binding to it. Antibodies from people who were only vaccinated or who only had prior coronavirus infections were essentially useless against this mutant virus. But antibodies in people with the "hybrid immunity" could neutralize it.
