The studies don't show that egg yolk antibodies block spike proteins. They show that if you convince the immune system of a hen to produce antibodies that block spike proteins, you can find these antibodies in egg yolk too.
That's a common method used in Asia to produce food with antibodies against pathogens. They just tried if it works with spike proteins too.
I wonder if this destroys natural immunity.
Thanks for the heads up from the hyped article. I actually read it to make sure it wasn’t regular eggs.
It’s basically like producing the flu vaccine in eggs like they used to do. But for some reason they love only producing antibodies for the spike.
It doesn't affect natural immunity. It's not a vaccine because the immune system learns nothing.
Egg yolk antibodies bind to pathogens like human antibodies. But the other side of the antibody, that informs the immune system that a pathogen was found, is different and gets ignored by the human immune system.
These antibodies are used for super food that, for example, fights bacteria that hurt the stomach. There is nothing new about it. This study used spike proteins because everything around SARS works like a magnet for funding and attention.
Thanks!!
