Antibodies harvested from the blood of paediatricians are up to 25 times better at protecting against the common respiratory infection RSV than existing antibody therapies, and are now being developed as preventative treatments
Before my kid started kindergarten, I “never got sick”. Then it was one damn thing after another for the next three years. I wonder whether people who never have kids and never experience that are somehow worse off in old age because of it. Or, maybe better off?
The last time I was sick was Covid, and yes, my by-then adult son gave it to me, because of course he did.
I used to be a never gets sick person. Worked in restaurants in a resort area, so I was constantly exposed to germs from all over the world.
Even my constant exposure to the school germ breading grounds via best friends kids never got me sick.
I made it through covid with only 2 positive tests, both while completely asymptomatic, and both times being clear after 48 hours. And I was serrious about it because I was living with an elderly parent.
At one point, early on, I shared a wine glass with the owner of the restaurant, not just once, 2-3 hours of sharing a cup. A couple days later, it turned out she had gotten covid from her BF. I never got it off od her.
Then I left the restaurant industry. Within 3 months, my immune system normalized, and I was catching colds of my my friends kids, nights out at packed bars, etc.
