Immunologist Borislav Kamenov stated in Novi Dan that the antibodies against the coronavirus that citizens have does not mean that they are immune to kovid disease, and recalls that there are numerous cases that have shown that people, despite having contracted the infection , they get sick again. “I think some people have better protection without antibodies, and many people don’t have very good protection with antibodies,” he said.
We remind you, the part of the study that was published in the media showed that one in five inhabitants of Serbia has antibodies against the coronavirus, and it is the most resistant among those under 19 years of age.
Although Belgrade is often mentioned as a hotbed for coronavirus, results show that only about 17 percent of Belgrade residents have had coronavirus, while citizens of Kragujevac, Sabac, Cacak, Valjevo, and Uzice are among the most. protected from the virus.
These data were collected during the second wave of coronavirus in Serbia, which means that the figures indicating the immunity of citizens are even higher.
“It can be realistic. It all depends on the criteria used in the study. Antibodies are checked, people are selected, there are sampling criteria to represent all groups of people to be credible. Now, the question is when is antibodies determined if these people are protected. It happened that someone had antibodies and then got sick. This practically means that we are not sure if the antibodies are adequate protection against infection, or if they protect us for a while, “says Kamenov.
According to him, the time that antibodies protect us can be very short or longer, and he assumes that it is a very individual issue.
“I think some people have better protection without antibodies, and many don’t have very good protection with antibodies,” he says, adding that he disagrees with the statement that having antibodies also means having immunity.
Children do not have a specific immunity, but they do not get sick from kovid, because they have a very high quality non-specific response. They don’t trigger the immune system “response”, they don’t trigger a cellular response, and they can’t get sick. in good condition, “explains Kamenov.
“What is specific in children is that it is not specific. Their immunity is based on leukocytes, neutrophils and macrophages. Macrophages are very successful in destroying viruses, especially in destroying covidas. Macrophages, especially when we have enough vitamin D, can kill kovid in a large percentage and practically not to get sick “, Kamenov specifies.
“We need to develop a nonspecific immunity”
He points out that, unlike children, adults have a “fierce” response, called cellular immunity, which actually kills our cells and thus death occurs.
“I’ve been saying this endlessly, that we need to rearrange our response in the direction of what children have. To boost our nonspecific immunity, to stimulate our macrophages by taking vitamin D. And then macrophages will be more successful, and then they will. . solving the battle on the front line ‘, that is, there will be no fierce responses from the body to which slightly older people are exposed, ”says Kamenov.
Our interlocutor reiterates that although the investigation showed that a fifth of citizens have antibodies, that does not mean that they have immunity, as well as that “it can happen that they get sick.”
Commenting on the advertised vaccination, he cautions that it may not be as effective as advertised.
“Vaccines have never been made for many viruses. Simply put, the physiognomy of the immune system response is such that no response can be produced in the production of antibodies. The advertised vaccines will be effective, but it does not matter if the protection lasts a month, three months or a year, “Kamenov said.
Remember the case of the flu, because every year people are vaccinated to achieve the immunity of citizens.
Kamenov, who in the previous period emphasized the importance of taking vitamin D in the fight against coronavirus, points out that it can be both a prevention and a part of therapy. He explains that by taking a much higher amount of vitamin D, corona can be prevented, but also that kovid patients can be cured very quickly with its help.
