Heine should not have omitted this in her report, which suggests either ignorance or an agenda.<br /><br />For a more balanced assessment, one amongst others: 'ADE has been observed in SARS, MERS and other human respiratory virus infections including RSV and measles, which suggests a real risk of ADE for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and antibody-based interventions. However, clinical data has not yet fully established a role for ADE in human COVID-19 pathology.'<br /><br />Link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-00789-5<br /><br /><br />Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770069472552779217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10178279.post-67265353535091665252021-10-07T06:21:00.527-04:002021-10-07T06:21:00.527-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770069472552779217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10178279.post-40342522881632589602021-10-05T08:06:28.303-04:002021-10-05T08:06:28.303-04:00Heine is the reporter.

I did nit have to be a theoretical physicist to interview the late John Polkinghorne.
