Pandemics caused by viruses that "naturally" lead to acute, self-limiting infections can only end when the virus is no longer transmitted. In the case of IMMUNE ESCAPE pandemics, typically observed in highly COVID-19 (C-19) vaccinated populations, this can only occur when the virus eventually eliminates those who lost their adaptive immune protection during the pandemic and when those who strengthened their innate immune protection ultimately eliminate the virus.

If you'd like to learn more about these different outcomes, their impact on individuals in highly C-19 vaccinated populations, and the underlying population-level immune mechanisms, we invite you to join Dr Geert Vanden Bossche's Immune Biology Forum.

It provides a space for meaningful science-based discussions with other members and Dr Vanden Bossche, on complex biological topics, enabling laypeople, doctors, and scientists to learn, ask questions, and engage in deeper, interactive conversations—beyond the superficial exchanges often found on social media.

NB: Membership of the forum can be cancelled at any time through your member profile
