Move over Superman, COVID-19 ‘super immunity’ possible after breakthrough infections, study finds
Fox News
Even though there’s only one Superman, "super immunity" may be possible in vaccinated patients who develop COVID-19 breakthrough infections.
"We have not examined the omicron variant specifically, but based on the results of this study we would anticipate that breakthrough infections from the omicron variant will generate a similarly strong immune response among vaccinated people," senior author Dr. Fikadu Tafesse noted in a press release.
Researchers collected blood samples from participants who were fully vaccinated with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, then compared a 26-person control group without any breakthrough infections with 26 participants who were diagnosed with mild cases of COVID-19 after being vaccinated.
