IgA is an important marker....SQI, knows more than most!
IgA is an important marker....SQI, knows more than most! What that shot does not do is produce an Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody response to the virus at the surface of the throat mucosa. That’s the antibody type that could prevent the virus from ever binding in the first place. As such, in a vaccinated person, the virus can still attach like it’s about to break into the house, but it doesn’t realize that there is an armed homeowner on the other side of the door. When that virus is detected, the IgG beats it up and clears it before the person gets very ill (or ill at all). (Sidebar: Anyone ever had their kid — or themselves — get the “Flumist” vaccine as their annual flu booster? The idea there is to introduce the antigens at the surface of the throat mucosa leading to that IgA response that will prevent infection from happening at all. Sounds good and still has a place, but it isn’t quite as effective overall as the shot.) https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=newssearch&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiplbSl0vD2AhWFQc0KHewPAlw4UBDF9AEoAHoECBIQAg&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tampabay.com%2Fopinion%2F2021%2F08%2F10%2Fwhat-we-now-know-about-how-to-fight-the-delta-variant-of-covid-column%2F&usg=AOvVaw2T_wgZLMtF5Q1zJ-lUsc-k
