Another ineffective vaccine: hepatitis B.
“The proportions of people who were protected after vaccination was 26.0%…”

Lymphocytes, neutrophils and IL-6 and the “Effects of Ageing on the Immune System”.
Valiathan et al., 2016 (1), published an informative article on the aging of the immune system. The authors found that lymphocytes in the elderly, 70 to 92 years, were lower than in adults, 21 to 50 years. Neutrophils in the elderly were elevated. Cytokine IL-6 was also elevated in the elderly. Levels of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and IL-6 all have strong predictive value in the outcome of COVID-19.
A rare good move: the World Health Organization criticized “immunity passports” (April 24, 2020).
COVID-19 “immunity passports” is another Nazi-style idea. It is good that the WHO criticized COVID-19 “immunity passports”.
T cell-mediated immune response to respiratory coronaviruses and vaccines against SARS-CoV that induce immunopathology.
A 2011 study: A vaccine against SARS-CoV-1 provides incomplete protection in mice and induces increased eosinophilic proinflammatory response in lungs.
COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect those who are at a higher risk. A 2006 study: Vaccines fail to generate protective immunity in 50% to 90% of older individuals.
Seroconversion after a vaccine is 50% from 60 to 70 years old, 31% from 70 to 80 years old, and only 11% after the age of 80.
Conclusions: Billions are being spent on COVID-19 vaccines that are unlikely to work in the highest-risk group, those aged 70 and above.
