"In the case of COVID-19, killer T cells could mean the difference between a mild infection and a severe one that requires hospital treatment, says Annika Karlsson, an immunologist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. “If they are able to kill the virus-infected cells before they spread from the upper respiratory tract, it will influence how sick you feel,” she says. They could also reduce transmission by restricting the amount of virus circulating in an infected person, meaning that the person sheds fewer virus particles into the community.
T cells could also be more resistant than antibodies to threats posed by emerging variants. Studies by Sette and his colleagues have shown that people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 typically generate T cells that target at least 15–20 different fragments of coronavirus proteins1. But which protein snippets are used as targets can vary widely from person to person, meaning that a population will generate a large variety of T cells that could snare a virus. “That makes it very hard for the virus to mutate to escape cell recognition,” says Sette, “unlike the situation for antibodies.”
So when laboratory tests showed that the 501Y.V2 variant identified in South Africa (also called B.1.351) is partially resistant to antibodies raised against previous coronavirus variants, researchers wondered whether T cells could be less vulnerable to its mutations.
Early results suggest that this might be the case. In a preprint published on 9 February, researchers found that most T-cell responses to coronavirus vaccination or previous infection do not target regions that were mutated in two recently discovered variants, including 501Y.V22. Sette says that his group also has preliminary evidence that the vast majority of T-cell responses are unlikely to be affected by the mutations."

How ‘killer’ T cells could boost COVID immunity in face of new variants
Nature - In the race against emerging coronavirus variants, researchers are looking beyond antibodies for clues to lasting protection from COVID-19.
"Scientists have found that vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of the vitamin - the killer cells of the immune system -- T cells -- will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body. The research team found that T cells first search for vitamin D in order to activate and if they cannot find enough of it will not complete the activation process."

Claims such as "vaccines reduce hospitalization" are entirely bogus. Look at case numbers dropping off a cliff. The real title should be:
"After seasonal peaks cases of Covid19 drop dramatically which means BOTH vaccinated & non vaccinated people are no longer catching Covid19"
If anybody bothered looking at other coronavirus case graphs before 2020, with the same mortality rate of SARSCoV2 (HCoV-OC43), they would have found exactly the same winter peaks. All of this is NORMAL.
(And no vaccines for HCoV-OC43 of course). This vaccination program is the fraud of the century. And a dangerous fraud it is. In 1-2 months we will get the real data on adverse reactions & deaths. The real reason they rushed the vaccines was not to save lives, but because they learnt from SARS in 2003 that if you go through proper safety trials the disease vanishes long before the vaccines arrive.

Did the 1918-19 Spanish flu end because a vaccine arrived? No? I did not think so. So why are they saying this one is ending because a vaccine arrived exactly? Same drops in countries at the very beginning of a vaccination program! In reality 2020-21 were two winter peaks and we will see peaks every December-January as variants & mutations do occur. The only way to stop winter peaks? The Monotti Protocol.

As the PM prepares to announce a tentative timetable for loosening lockdown, it’s perhaps worth noting that the UK currently has the strictest lockdown in the developed world (as measured by the Oxdford @BlavatnikSchool’s tracker)
It's almost as if the vast majority of the political class does not want the pandemic to be over, which it is at least until December 2021. It's as if they are all clinging on to the absolute power they claimed over the common people, & do not want to hand this power back at all..
Simon Elmer from Architects for Social Housing is always asking the right questions, it's an honour to the profession to have architects like him:
"‘Cui bono?’ was a phrase associated with the Roman judge, Lucius Cassius, who always asked who benefitted from a crime. As evidence of the crimes committed under the cloak of this crisis mounts up, it’s a question being asked with greater insistence today."
