ADE Is Here To Stay

Prior to 2020, no mRNA-based vaccines had progressed beyond animal trials – then a miracle occurred: in fewer than nine months two mRNA vaccines were authorized for use in humans.

One of the risks of mRNA vaccines is anti-body dependent enhancement (ADE): the immune system facilitates infection instead of neutralizing the virus.

As emerging studies indicate the increased susceptibility of vaccinated individuals to the Delta variant, this study proves ADE is happening: “Facilitating antibodies” outnumber “neutralizing antibodies” in vaccinated individuals infected with Delta – this means the body is helping the virus infect cells rather than killing it.

ADE is here to stay
It will never die
It was meant to be that way
Though I don’t know why (actually, I do)
