(Natural News) A study found that natural immunity against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) remains 20 months post-infection.
According to researchers led by Dr. Dorry Segev of the Epidemiology Research Group in Organ Transplantation at Johns Hopkins University, antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) remain in 99 percent of the study participants who tested positive for the virus – some of whom contracted the disease 20 months prior.
The researchers recruited unvaccinated, healthy adults in the fall of 2021 and divided them into three groups: individuals who had test-confirmed COVID-19 infections in the past, individuals who believed they recovered from COVID but did not get any tests, and individuals who did not think they ever got COVID or test positive at any given time.
In the first group, all but two of the participants tested positive for antibodies, with no indication that the level of protection waned over time. In the second group, around 55 percent tested positive for anti-RBD antibodies. In the third group, only 11 percent of the participants had antibodies.
Segev said that the major takeaway from the study is that natural immunity remains strong and durable.
Dr. Nasia Safdar, a professor in the Division of Infectious Disease at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and Public Health also said that the results were encouraging, although likely applicable only to a healthy adult population who has the ability and resources to get a blood draw.
