Scientists have learned about the possibility of obtaining "super immunity" to coronavirus

Patients who become infected with the coronavirus after being vaccinated may develop "super-immunity" to its future variants, according to US and Austrian scientists. This is reported by Business Insider.

Specialists at the Oregon HEALTH and Science University in December concluded that during the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, study participants who had been ill with one of the previous strains and were vaccinated were less likely to become infected with the delta.

“Not only does the level of antibodies get high, but the ability to cross-neutralize different variants increases significantly,” Fikadu Tafesse, one of the authors of the American study, told Business Insider. According to him, with the so-called "breakthrough infection" (that is, when a fully vaccinated person is infected), the body receives information about the variability of the coronavirus, which "creates an additional level of complexity in the set of antibodies."

Scientists from Austria, in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study, show that a similar situation occurs with the "omicron". There is no exact data on this, but Tafesse is optimistic.
