https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📌" title="Reißzwecke" aria-label="Emoji: Reißzwecke">“why is a vaccine is a more trusted source of immunity, if already have antibodies & T-Cell response?”

2) In addition to Dr Mina’s above explanation, @VirusesImmunity also explains her rational: https://twitter.com/virusesimmunity/status/1330318287943708672">https://twitter.com/virusesim...
3) Further, noted earlier that the Pfizer & Moderna vaccines both showed better antibody binding & neutralization in vaccinated people in their P1 trials, than convalescent natural infected survivors.

Hence, another reason vaccine better than Scott Atlas’s “herd”. #COVID19 https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1330111548870832129">https://twitter.com/drericdin...
4) As @michaelmina_lab explains, vaccine is more targeted to the #SARSCoV2 receptor while natural infection has a more “choose your own adventure” what parts of virus one develops antibodies to. Targeted likely better. https://twitter.com/michaelmina_lab/status/1330383383415943169">https://twitter.com/michaelmi...
5) The analogy @michaelmina_lab explains is that natural infection can develop non-useful antibody recognition like to a less useful “pinky toe” part. https://twitter.com/michaelmina_lab/status/1330383677851922432">https://twitter.com/michaelmi...
