The concern is regarding recurrent mild breakthrough COVID-19 infections across highly vaccinated regions. Could they indicate longer term risks?
The uptick in hospital admissions around the new Omicron variant is very concerning. Anticipating the outcomes, if negative, are very important.
Contribution of each spike-specific IgG subclass to the sum of all spike-specific IgG antibody levels. The percentages of each spike-specific IgG subclass relative to the sum of spike-specific IgG levels are shown for the vaccinated and COVID-19 cohorts. The numbers represent the mean percentages of individuals calculated by dividing each spike specific IgG levels with the sum of all spike specific IgG levels. Schematic representation of spike-specific IgG1%, IgG2%, IgG3% and IgG4% are shown in blue, orange, grey and yellow sectors, respectively. The size of the pie charts indicates the levels of all spike-specific IgG antibodies
“Our results showed that EBV reactivation stimulates IgG4 production in a subset of Graves' disease, and in some cases, it may be the main source of IgG4. Therefore, high serum IgG4 levels and the infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells observed in IgG4-RD-like conditions may be present as a consequence of chronic inflammation and EBV reactivation.”

Good explanation, can share this with a few people as they will grasp this better. Few of my older relatives struggle to understand a lot of the science and they need to get the basics so they can stay out of the shark pool. 😉

Has there been an increase in Graves disease since McVax rollout?
