Study: Coronavirus antibodies fade rapidly after infection

 

A new study by a team of researchers at the Imperial College London has found that antibodies developed following coronavirus infections disappear within a matter of weeks.

According to the REACT-2 study, antibody positivity fell by 26% between June and September.

While about 6% of those tested in July had detectable levels of coronavirus antibodies, only 4.4% had detectable levels of antibodies in September.

One of the researchers, Professor Helen Ward, said the study suggests that immunity “is waning quite rapidly.”

“We're only three months after our first [round of tests] and we're already showing a 26% decline in antibodies," Ward continued, according to a report by the BBC.

The researchers acknowledged that antibodies are just one form of immunity developed by the body.

White blood cells known as lymphocytes, including B cells and T cells, are also central to the human immune system.

Nevertheless, Prof. Wendy Barclay, one of the researchers, suggested that the decline in antibodies also points to a likely decline in overall immunity.

"On the balance of evidence, I would say it would look as if immunity declines away at the same rate as antibodies decline away, and that this is an indication of waning immunity."

Other studies have also suggested that antibody levels decline significantly within two to three months after coronavirus infections.

However, they suggest that the decline in antibodies does not imply a decline in long-term immunity, citing the formation of memory T and B cells. An August 2020 study even found that patients who had suffered only mild cases of the virus developed memory T and B cells, suggesting they had developed long-term immunity.

One October, 2020 study Sekine et al. not only found that coronavirus infections elicit functional memory T cells that protect against recurrent episodes, but also suggested that most asymptomatic individuals exposed to the virus had developed T cells.

Professor Paul Elliot, director of the REACT-2 study, said that despite his group’s findings, a vaccine against the coronavirus still could be useful in combatting the pandemic, speculating that it might provide longer-term protection than natural immunity following infections.

"The vaccine response may behave differently to the response to natural infection,” said Elliot.

Studies of the seasonal flu, however, suggest that vaccine immunity tends to wane even more rapidly than natural immunity caused by infection.

A February 2011 study of the 2009 H1N1 flu virus, for example, found that while over half of patients who had been infected with the virus had measurable levels of antibodies six months after being infected, just one third of vaccinated subjects also had.

Rabbi Mosheh Lichtenstein "the wolf in sheep's clothing" condemns Trump calls him "mentally disturbed"

Let me tell you about this foolish naive guy...

Rabbi Moshe and his brother Rabbi Yitzchok Lichtenstein (Rosh Yeshiva  Torah Vodaath) are the children of Rav Aaron Lichtenstein z"l who co-founded Yeshivat Har Etzion. 

Yeshivat Har Etzion, known as "The Gush" is a hesder yeshiva located in Alon Shvut, an Israeli settlement in Gush Etzion outside of the "green line." This is a Yeshiva that combines army service with Yeshiva study in a five-year program ....

But let that not fool you about one of its Roshei Yeshiva, Rabbi Moshe Lichtenstein..

R' Moshe Lichtenstein leans radically to the left and supported the eviction of Jews from Gush Katif ...he constantly attacks Netanyahu for having success in foreign relations and chastising him, telling him to forget foreign relations and concentrate solely on domestic issues ...

Either way, here comes a "respected" frum Rabbi and not only degrades the President of the United States calling him "mentally disturbed" but totally questions frum Jews voting for him...

He mocks that Jews support Trump for moving the US embassy to Yerushalyim stating "here people applaud him for opening an embassy in Jerusalem." 

 But the Rabbi doesn't mention and ignores the fact that the first thing that Trump did when he became president was cut all relations with the Palestinians and close the PA office in Washington. The Rabbi ignores that Trump backed out of the murderous Iran deal and recognized the Golan Heights as part and parcel of the Jewish State. He chooses to ignore that Trump just arranged peace with Israel and 4 Arab hostile countries ...He is basically mocking over 85% of Frum Jews that will vote for Trump...

This Rabbi Moshe is trying hard to stay relevant and is very immature and basically a child who seeks attention and I'll give you an example ...

In November of 2010, Israel was going thru a draught with hardly any rain, and so the Chief Rabbinate declared a day of prayer and fast....

Who would oppose this? And why would someone oppose this?

Rabbi Moshe Lichtenstein opposed this and was overruled by his own Yeshivah ....that supported the ruling of the Rabbinate ...

Rabbi Moshe Lichtenstein asked that his "dissenting" opinion be published, which is actually against halacha... a Bais Din doesn't have the rules of a secular court that publishes opinions of dissention, a Bais Din publishes only on how they finally ruled..at any rate they gave him permission to publish his childish psak..

What was his reasoning for his ruling .....?

"In my view, of fasting for rain nowadays: it is ludicrous to fast for rain while the sprinklers at the yeshiva, at the homes of its rabbis, of local residents, and of public gardens-here and everywhere else-operate as usual. How can we fast over a dearth of rain when we continue to water our ornamental garden? "

Did you guys read that? Do you believe it? 

He actually included this ludicrous bizarre paragraph in support for his opposing view ... 

He is against prayers for rain because today we have "sprinklers!" His twisted premise is because his yeshiva and some rabbis want to water their 2 and 1/2 foot garden, with sprinklers, we should not daven for rain ...

Hey Rabbi? Why? Aren't you the Rosh Yeshivah? .. why don't you be an example and close the sprinklers?... and because some like your yeshiva and your rabbis openly flaunt the regulations that state that one should not to use sprinklers during a drought we should stop davening for rain? How absurd?

Fasting for rain is not about the sprinklers of your yeshiva and the sprinklers of the home of your rabbis.. it's not about you, rabbi..we are davening for rain for very serious reasons and potential dangerous situations if G-d forbid we don't have rain ..

How about forest fires that not only destroy the forests and vegetation but can destroy total villages ...the forests need rain for it's very survival..there are no "sprinklers" in the forests.. there are many farms in Israel that totally rely on rain and the "sprinklers" cannot possibly do the job.....why don't you ask the farmers that live near the Gaza borders if they need rain? 

and what's wrong with trying to beautify our gardens in Eretz Yisrael?

His entire premise and you can link to his "teshuvah"  is childish and very immature.....written on a 12th grade level ..probably for  Seminary girls that he was teaching ...

But I will now tell you the real reason why he paskened against the prayers and the fast and it's in his very last paragraph and that's where the "dog" is buried .... 

 מעמד הרבנות הראשית. לא ארחיב בכך, ורק אסתפק בקביעה, שמכל מיני סיבות, מעמד הרבנות הראשית רחוק מן המציאות המתוארת בגמרא בתענית שגזירת ריש גלותא חייבה את כלל הציבור ואינני רואה את מעמד הרבנות או את העומדים בראשה מחייבים את הציבור בימינו. הלוואי והמציאות היתה אחרת, אך היא איננה.

"I will not expand on this, but merely assert that for all sorts of reasons the status of the Chief Rabbinate is very far from the reality described in the gemara in Ta’anit in which the decree of the exilarch obligated the entire community. I do not view the status of the Chief Rabbinate or its heads as being binding on the community nowadays. I wish the situation were different, but it is not."

Being the radical leftist that he is, he only ruled against it because the Chief Rabbinate ruled for it ...

He is a childish immature, has-been, irrelevant attention seeker and should be totally ignored..... 

כל הפוסל, במימו פוסל

 In Brisk (he thinks he is a Brisker) they would question whether something is a "cheftzeh" (an object) or is it a "gavreh" (on the person itself)

There is no question ..... he is not a "gavreh" .. the question I have is he even a "cheftzeh?"

Senate Confirms Amy Coney Barret As Supreme Court Justice

 

The oath-taking ceremony later at the White House was inspiring.  Having Justice Thomas administer the oath was political brilliance. The most senior Supreme Court Justice, a black man; the newest Justice, a woman; and the President in the middle.

Overpowering Democratic opposition, Senate Republicans voted on Monday night to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in a move that will make the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals judge and Notre Dame law professor the third appointment to the high court by President Trump, solidifying his administration’s legacy even further just a week before Election Day as he seeks a second term. The move will likely solidify a conservative court majority for years to come.

Barrett was sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas at the White House on Monday night.

Trump’s choice to fill the vacancy of the late liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg potentially opens a new era of rulings on abortion, the Affordable Care Act and even a potential dispute over his own election. Democrats are unable to stop Monday’s outcome, Trump’s third justice to the court, as Republicans race to reshape the judiciary.

Barrett is 48, and her confirmation will solidify the court’s rightward tilt.

Vice President Mike Pence’s office said Monday he would not preside at the Senate session unless his tie-breaking vote was needed after Democrats asked him to stay away when his aides tested positive for COVID-19. The vote was 52-48, and Pence’s vote was not necessary.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, was the only Republican to vote against Barrett after expressing objections to moving a Supreme Court nomination before an election after Republicans blocked Obama nominee Merrick Garland ahead of the 2016 election. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has also expressed the same concerns as Collins and voted against a procedural motion to advance Barrett’s nomination on Sunday, but she voted for the nominee Monday after saying she would not hold her process objections against Barrett.

All 45 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats voted against Barrett’s confirmation.

Out-Of-Control NYC Health Dept. Inspectors Visit EMPTY YESHIVA, Start Writing Summonses!

 

Once again, the NYC Health Department has been caught red-handed, writing a summonses to a totally empty Yeshiva building.

In the video below, the viewer will see two inspectors visiting Yeshivat Shaare Torah on Coney Island Avenue in the Midwood section of Brooklyn – an area that has been deemed a “red zone” by NY Governor Cuomo.

The Executive Director of the Yeshiva noticed the inspectors, and questioned why they were writing a summons if the building was totally vacant besides for a few staff members doing work. The man invited the inspectors inside the building and offered them to look anywhere they want, and go into any room or floor of the building they choose.

The only thing the inspector seemed concerned about was that she was being recorded.

When pressed over and over whey this was being done, the inspector said “we have a list”.

But this is not the first time this has happened. It has been confirmed and is in possession of evidence of MULTIPLE Yeshivas that received fines in the past two weeks that were totally closed.

The Governor has continued to maintain the area as a “red zone” despite his refusal for weeks to release daily statistics to show the latest numbers.

Breaking News....... DIN ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT

 

This is a first for DIN, to endorse a candidate and it didn't come easy ..

I know that a lot of our followers were waiting with bated breath to see who we would endorse, especially since Biden's VP the "laughing camel" is married to a Jew whose children call her "Mama,"and thought that maybe DIN would consider that as an important point in our difficult decision.

The fact that Trump backed out of the murderous Iran Deal, and recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel, and not only recognized Yerushalyim as the capital of Israel but moved the US embassy there, and made peace between Israel and 4 Arab countries that did not in any way influence our decision to endorse Trump..we, just like the liberal leftist Jews, do not think that is a reason that he remain president ... 

The fact that Trump engineered the largest economic recovery with the lowest unemployment rates, and created over 7 million jobs, and kept all his promises in 3 and 1/2 years, that  did not mean a damn thing to us ....

So what made us move towards Trump? After all, according to Camel Harris, Trump murdered over 200 million Americans with the Covid-19 virus ...

The clincher for us was when Trump called Dr. Fauci "an idiot."That is what we are looking for in a president ... guts! and calling a"spade a spade"

Ezras Nashim Debuts First State of The Art Ambulance

It's great news, since this will cut out the men "perverts" who ran when they heard that a woman was giving birth ... and I think that this was the reason Hatzalah is against this... 

I am not G-d forbid suggesting that Hatzalah guys are all perverts ... by in large they are selfless volunteers who deserve olam habah...

They were also against this because they are afraid that it will syphon off fundraising ... 

It was an exhilarating moment for the women of Ezras Nashim as they took delivery of their long awaited ambulance on Sunday, their hard-fought legal battle to get a vehicle of their own finally coming to an end.

 The all-female Ezras Nashim emergency medical corps was approved by the New York State Emergency Medical Services Council to operate its own ambulance in August, overriding an October 2019 denial handed down by the New York City Regional Emergency Medical Council.

White with vivid purple stripes, the ambulance bears the Ezras Nashim logo in both English and Hebrew. Two letters of rabbinical approval are painted onto the 2020 Ford Transit’s rear windows, including one signed 40 years ago by Rabbi Refoel Blum, the Kasho Rav, and Rabbi Yosef Grunwald, the Pupa Rebbe, endorsing the creation of a women’s group that would provide medical care until those in childbirth could arrive at a hospital.

Several members of the NYPD’s 66 Precinct were on hand as Ezras Nashim founder Judge Ruchie Freier enjoyed an opportunity to show the new ambulance, including a logo that identifies Ezras Nashim as a partner organization of the FDNY. She described the state-of-the art ambulance as sleek and aerodynamic, noting that its van-like size will allow for greater maneuverability on Borough Park’s often crowded streets.

“We have always had doubters snickering and saying ‘I want to see ladies driving an ambulance,’ but six of us have already trained on it, women in their twenties to their seventies,” Freier told News outlets , adding that Ezras Nashim will be training additional women to drive the new vehicle.

Freier estimated that Ezras Nashim has at least forty to fifty EMTs in Borough Park, Flatbush and its Manhattan branch based in Stern College, with another class of 20 women training to join the corps.  The group is very diverse and includes volunteers from all segments of the Jewish community at all levels of religious observance, who are fluent in English, Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian and Bucharian.

Arab Media Slam Palestinian Hypocrisy For PA Official’s Care In Israel

As Israelis debate over the treatment of senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat in Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center, with some praising the move and others slamming it as immoral, some citizens of other countries are chiming in from the other perspective, slamming the Palestinians for their corruption and hypocrisy, namely those in Gulf states.

While the Palestinian media has remained mum about the story, media outlets in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Saudia Arabia aren’t practicing the same restraint. For them, it’s time for payback to the Palestinian Authority, who has been heaping criticism on the Gulf states for the recent normalization deals with Israel. Erekat himself slammed the peace deals between the UAE and Bahrain with Israel, saying: “I never expected this poisonous dagger to come from an Arab country.”

The Gulf states lost no time in slamming the Palestinian Authority for its hypocrisy and double standard behavior.

“The corruption in the Palestinian Authority that led to damage to the health system is what forced the Palestinians to hospitalize Erekat in an Israeli hospital,” wrote Amjad Taha, an Arab international affairs expert and confidant of UAE, WIN News reported. “It seems that Erekat does not trust the Palestinian doctors, who are his people, nor the hospitals in the PA.”

“Has Saeb Erekat’s health become more important than the Palestinian issue?” an Emirati activist asked. “Thanks to Allah that seeking treatment in Israeli hospitals is not considered a betrayal of the Palestinian issue.”

Erekat’s treatment in Israel is especially embarrassing for the PA in light of the fact that it cut security and diplomatic ties with Israel several months ago, which means that PA residents are unable to seek medical treatment in Israel, even for advanced medical care that is unavailable in the PA.  But somehow, as always, the leadership in the PA and Gaza hold quite different standards for themselves than for the civilians they rule over.

Fatah, led by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, has tried to save face through various false statements, including that Erekat is only being treated at Hadassah due to its close location to his home in Yericho and the fact that treatment abroad is not currently available due to the pandemic, Ynet reported.

“The transfer of Saeb Erekat to Hadassah Medical Center [in Jerusalem] has nothing to do with him contracting coronavirus, but rather to complications related to a lung transplant he underwent three years ago,” a Fatah spokesperson tweeted.

“The hospital was chosen since it is the closest one, with the right equipment and team needed for the treatment. Erekat was transferred to Hadassah Medical Center because a treatment abroad is not possible during the pandemic.”

A Pro-Trump rally by frum Jews in New York is took place on Sunday, October 25, beginning with car parades from four New York communities and culminating in a rally in Marine Park in Flatbush.

It is expected to be the largest Jewish car parade in history.

The rally is in support of US President Donald Trump, the United States of America and is pro-police, specifically the NYPD, as well.

About 1,000 cars boasting Trump flags from Monsey, Flatbush, Boro Park and Manhattan, are expected to participate. The car parades will travel toward Marine Park on the outskirts of Flatbush, gathering there about 5 p.m., where the rally will take place and speeches will be delivered.

The organizers have requested that participants bring masks to wear at the rally and make sure to practice social distancing after exiting their cars.

When The Rambam Went Up to The "Har Habayis"

 

What? The Rambam went up to the "Har Habayis?" Why? Don't the Gedoilim pasken that one cannot go on the "Har Habayis" because we are all tumeh?

Not so fast guys.... the Me'eerie also says that one can go up on the Har Habayis, and so did Rabbi Yafet the Rabbi of Akko who accompanied the Rambam. Those are three  Rishonim that rule halachically that one can go up to the Har Habyis today ... ...

So DIN, why talk about this today? Don't we have elections a week away? Shouldn't we focus on the laughing camel, Kamala Harris?

Good question... I just love it when my readers ask great insightful questions...

This past Shabbos was the 6th Of Cheshven ... and on the 6th of Cheshven, the secular year 1165 ( on a wednesday then), led by the then Dayan of Akko, Rebe Yafat, the Rambam, his father and his brother put their lives in danger and went up to the Har Habayis.

The Rambam established the 6th day of Cheshven as a Yom Tov for generations, with prayer, food and drink. 

Where did you get this info? No one seems to know about it ...?

You see.... you don't know about it because you are just a bunch of naive sheep and your rabbis want to keep you in the dark because it doesn't fit their agenda  ....

The Rambam actually wrote this in a letter and that's how I know...

שנת ששה ועשרים ליצירה, יצאנו מעכו לעלות לירושלים , תחת סכנה, ונכנסתי לבית הגדול והקדוש, והתפללתי בו, ביום חמישי, 

ששה ימים לירח מרחשון,

הימים האלו, נדרתי שיהיו לי כמו יום טוב, ותפלה ושמחה בהשם, ואכילה ושתיה.

 אלקים יעזרני על הכל ויקים לי נדרי להשם אשלם אמן

וכשם שזכיתי להתפלל בה בחורבנה, כך אראה אני וכל ישראל 

בנחמתה מהרה אמן

"In the 26th year of Creation, We left Akko to go up to Yerushalyim under dangerous conditions, and we entered the Great Holy Building; we prayed there on Wednesday the 6th day of the month of Cheshven.I vowed that  I will celebrate this date as a holiday, with prayer, food, drink and happiness to Hashem,G-d should help me with everything to assist me in fulfilling my vows, Amein!And just as I merited to pray in its ruins, I and all of the Jewish people should merit to see in its rebuilding, soon, Amein!"

In an additional letter to Rebbe Yafat, the Rambam recalls  this incident with affection and writes:

שאני והוא ואבא מורי זצ"ל ואתה

ארבעתנו הלכנו בבית השם ברגש

" As I and him (referring to his brother Dovid) and my Father my teacher, may this Tzaddik be  remembered for  blessing, and you (rabbi Yefet), the four of us traveled to the House of G-d with reverence"

And in his famous Igeeret Timan, the Rambam repeats this visit for a third time:

יצאנו מן המערב,לחזות בנועם השם, ולבקר מקום קדשו 

" we left from the West, to glance at the Sweetness of Hashem and visited His Holy Abode."

The Rambam was so excited and in awe of his visit, that he established a Holiday on the anniversary of his visit to the Har Habayis and couldn't stop writing about it. To think that their are Chareidie Rabbanim that prohibit their followers to visit the Kotel today is nauseating....

  Now.... I am not going to go into the halachic aspects about going up and I know some of you "Talmeidei Chachamim"  are going to scream ..."Oh  the Rambam knew exactly where to go but we don't"

Well ...  this  reason no longer applies today at all ..

  today in the secular year of 2020, because of recent archeological digs  and advanced science, we now know exactly where we can go and not go . ... and I can bring you historic documents that document the fact that Jews went up to the Har Habayis all the time with the approval of the then Gedoilim... way before we knew where exactly to go ...

But I just wanted you guys to see so that you can do your own research and come up with your very own conclusions...

But those who follow your Rabbanim ... Kol HaKoved... just don't tell us what to do ..we have Gedoilim that pasken that one can go up ...

also I'll let you into a little secret... most "Gedoilim" paskened that way because they were afraid of what the Arabs would do...

 Today B'H, frum Jews go up every single day without incident and its important to support them (even if you personally are against this) because by going up they are showing the world that the Har Habayis belongs to the Jews and that we refuse to hand over sovereignty to the Arabs.
