As a T-cell specialized vaccine immunologist/biologist/virologist, I feel 😩watching ppl over emphasize neutralizing antibodies’ role.
They’re doing the very thing viral vaccine immunologists know not to do!! T-cells do the heavy lifting here + more is needed. It’s not this/or 🧵
Using neutralizing Abs to define effectiveness is 😩
This over reliance & emphasis on describing adaptive immune function as primarily neutralizing is partly why ppl are now just throwing caution to the wind & no longer willing to even believe we know how to combat this virus.
From antivaxxer to CDC/NAAID & media, they all confuse the situation with their neutralizing antibody overemphasis.
In fact, this neutralizing antibody overemphasis is now undermining even vaccine confidence & feeding vaccine/booster hesitancy because everyone feels confused.
For the pediatricians & parents out there, see 🧵 & stay on alert. Get your eligible Littles vaccinated & ensure that everyone who is eligible in your circle vaccinates/boosts, masks & takes all precautions.

"If you're on thyroid medication, Dr. Duke stresses the importance of checking in with your thyroid throughout pregnancy. "The fetal brain [and] spinal cord start forming at around 21 days, and the pregnancy hormone can actually activate your thyroid,” she explains.
“So, sometimes medicine needs to be tweaked in the first trimester. I check it with the first pregnancy test, and then once per trimester, and at delivery."
Check out this blog from @modernfertility as I answer the most common questions about thyroid problems.
Whether it be “natural conception”, “natural birth”, “natural medicine” “natural beauty” or now, “natural immunity”, a certain segment of the population has coopted the meaning of “natural” & this is really fueling misinformation & exploitation of many vulnerable people …
2/8
Especially in BIPOC communities.
People are literally becoming severely injured or dying in pursuit of “natural” to the detriment of their high risk pregnancies, severe hypertension, out of control diabetes, kidney disease & now, their immune health.
