nixonix"our recent analyses suggests that affinity maturation, over months, of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies in convalescents confers additional flexibility and affinity24,25,27 that may not be afforded by standard mRNA vaccine regimens28.

nixonix"affinity maturation, the availability of numerous epitope targets and the generation of high levels of circulating antibodies may explain why polyclonal plasma from individuals who have been both infected and subsequently vaccinated could effectively neutralize the otherwise highly neutralization resistant PMS20 spike, as well as sarbecoviruses01:28

nixonixso if using longer intervals doesnt result much higher circulating ab titers than using standard interval, but protection vs hospitalization wanes slower, it may be because of improved affinity maturation of germinal center b-cells. that team seems to believe its beneficial01:31
nixonixcant be about killer t-cells, because i remember their numbers were a bit lower with longer intervals01:32
nixonixsource who claimed this isnt clear: "But timing is key when it comes to additional doses, whichever vaccine is given. Researchers say that exact right interval when immune response has matured -- but before protection begins to wane -- is the ideal target.01:35
nixonix"What we have seen is that waiting six months does mount a better immune response later," he added. "It seems that our immune system likes to rest and develop antibodies, and then mount a stronger response when it sees the same pathogen again later on."01:35

nixonixwhen things are complex or just laborious to find out, people tend to save energy and just believe somebody they "trust". also people dont like uncertainties, despite that pretty much everything is more or less uncertain23:02

Brainstormnixonix: From old.reddit.com: Myocarditis and Pericarditis Following Vaccination with COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines in Ontario: December 13, 2020 to August 7, 2021 : COVID1923:20
nixonix"The highest reporting rate of myocarditis/pericarditis was observed in males aged 18-24 years following second dose. The reporting rate in this group following the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine as second dose was 37.4 per million doses and was 263.2 per million following the Moderna vaccine as second dose."23:20
nixonixwhen 95% are mild (and the remaining 5% still treated with not too much trouble, and not confirmed deaths afaik) that would make for non-mild risks around 2/million for pfizer, and 13/1M for moderna. among 18-24 yo males23:21
nixonixand among young males the risk of non-mild 1/500k for pfizer, and 1/76k for moderna23:22
nixonixexcluding allergic reactions (also not known deaths to my knowledge). not too shabby. are there even less risky vaccines?23:24

rpifanwhy mrna again23:30
grys"Self-Amplifying" mRNA23:32
nixonixsa-rna vaccines encode additiola proteins for replicating mrna, so less synthesized mrna is needed. pfizer had a candidate like that, one of the four in humantrials, but they selected another one23:40
nixonixadditional23:40
gryssounds a bit scary23:41
grysbecause if mrna replicates inside the body, then who is going to stop it23:41
nixonixbut that vaccine above, i didnt find any research paper trying to use the name (maybe there is a paper out without that name), they also use non-spike epitopes for t-cell response23:41
nixonixno its just inside the cell, to produce more mrna23:41
nixonixfrom less23:42
grysdoes it suggest the mrna never leaves the one cell it was injected into23:42
nixonixthey probably can control it, how long it continues. like with poly-(A) tail23:43
