Natural Immunity to COVID vs Vaccine Immunity

[Music] hi everyone dr markham here and i have a very important and timely topic i want to share with you today and that topic is the topic of vaccine passports for code i've been hearing about it everywhere in the news it's very important but before we do that i would like to point us to the big picture before we talk about these vaccine passports and whether it's even right or wrong to even have this discussion um a biblical prescription for you today psalms 139 verses 14 i will praise you for i am fearfully and wonderfully made marvelous are your works and that my soul knows very well so the big picture always is to look to the word to the true source of truth and to praise him and to realize how fearfully and wonderful we are very complex individuals and god knows this and he loves us and wants to be a part of our lives so let's keep that in mind always as we tackle some of these important questions that are coming in our society today so let's get back to this vaccine passport for covid well why that's so important is people are talking about you having this to travel to go to work your social whether you go to restaurants your school situation it's gonna it's has a potential to affect every aspect of our life so i want to address this and let us all think about this logically praying about it realizing that we're fearfully and wonderfully made and also take a deep breath and not judge people and let's not be shaming people let's think about this logically and make some important decisions so let's talk about a different word instead of vaccine passport maybe we should use the word immunity passport i think that's more descriptive it's a better word and it's more logical so what is immunity anyway well immunity is the entire process of which an individual which is so unique and wonderfully made it's how their individual immune system which makes the t cells and the b cells which make the antibodies and all these other immune cells they become fortified against a pathogen and in this case it's the sars virus so it's not only one aspect but it's everything that makes the immune system able to fight everything it could include the vaccines it could include natural immunity it could include things that you can do other different treatments to enhance the immune system to fight this it can do the things you can do as well like vitamin d and things that you can do to make your immune system stronger so immunity can encompass many different things so i'm proposing that immunity might be a better word if we're going to go down this course so maybe we should call it an immunity passport if we go down this road at all well we're having more and more information that's come out over the last few months regarding this whole pandemic we're just now learning much that we should have known a long time ago in making decisions not only for today in your individual life but for the future some hot topics some hot just off the press june 9th i want to share this article this research article from the cleveland clinic and this addresses natural immunity and remember natural immunity is what your body makes when it's exposed to the virus or any foreign substance and i in other videos i said how my body was exposed to it i made igg antibodies and i have t-cell immunity that persist well this was an article from the cleveland clinic and they looked at 52 000 infected people 52 000 and after looking all of them their conclusion and this was from june 9th the cleveland clinic study their conclusion was individuals that have had it before are unlikely to benefit from the vaccine because of their own natural immunity that's very useful information that we should know in making these decisions about immune passports another study and these studies are one after another they're now coming to the forefront this is from the lancet and this was in april of this year they looked at 25 000 individuals and they decree those that had an infection before natural immunity they decreased the risk of infection by at least 84 that's very strong numbers and you can read the study all of these will be included at the end of this video a study from israel that was done looked at 6 million people they studied the people that had been infected with the virus they studied people that had been vaccinated against the virus and their conclusions thus far thus far they concluded that the chance of getting infected bad of first time or re-infected after you've been infected were about the same so in this study so far there was really no benefit which bodes the question well there's risk of the vaccine there's risk of being affected but if you think about being infected and having natural immunity what doesn't kill you makes you stronger me personally i would rather have natural immunity if my body could make it through it than vaccine immunity but the risk and benefits of each type of immunization must be considered um there's been other studies this is a study i want to share with you as well this was from nature may 2024 by jackson these are doctors that work at washington university they looked at the plasma cells in the body and they concluded that these long-lived bone marrow plasma cells they are a persistent and essential source of protected antibodies so if you've been exposed your plasma cells are have the ability long after you've been exposed the ability to memorize the pathogen and make an antibody response should you see it again i think that is a very interesting study from nature and that sort of backs up this other study by uh brexit that found they found that if you've been infected by the sars kobe 2 infection you've had functional memory cells that can persist for months after the initial infection so these are more studies that back up the process of natural immunity is very important and this is so important in looking up the ability of us to achieve this term called her immunity that's not only the vaccinated people but it's also the people that have natural immunity all of those people that have been infected have some type of immune response in their body and remember it's been estimated that 40 to 50 of people are asymptomatic and have an immune response and they don't even know they've been infected and the arguments out there well what happens how do i know if i have an immune response well if you've had the sars infection and had symptoms you can assume that you have some type of immune response some type of natural immunity and these studies suggest that that's very valuable in your immune system so point number one to reiterate maybe if this goes forward we shouldn't call it a vaccine passport but an immunity passport looking at natural immunity as well as vaccinated immunity point number two who should administer who should administer this passport should it be schools should it be government officials should it be the postman who should do this well those of us in science that work with the bodies realizing how fearfully and wonderfully made it is how complex the immune system is i would throw out there that we should think about that the person that should administer this for each individual should be the provider the person that knows an individual body the best it shouldn't just be anyone they should maybe get this immune passport and have different things that they look at which would include natural immunity whether you have natural immunity or not whether you have vaccinated immunity also the function of your risk do you take vitamin d every day do you have a strong immune system are you at a high risk group of spreading it should you get it are you having symptoms are you in a high risk job look at all the variables including medications previous medical issues all the variables that affect your immune system and then decide based on that what your immune passport should look like maybe someone shouldn't have any restrictions well maybe some person should have a little bit of restriction but not at all well i'm suggesting that the person that best should do this is a person that really knows your body the best which is your provider so those are some things i want us to begin to think about as this this i'm going to call it immunity passport is being talked about so just think about things but i also want us to think about the big picture we should be loving each other and supporting each other we shouldn't be shaming each other we shouldn't look at the left or the right but we should look at a balanced approach but more than anything we should keep our eyes focused on what's most important and that's realizing we have a loving savior that loves us and that's going to heal us in his time and i want to share this text with you once more as we close and that's psalm 139 14 i will praise you i'm going to praise god for i god made me wonderful and i'm going to respect that and marvelous for all your work so i want you to keep this in mind if you like this video today i want you to give it a thumbs up share it with your friends and neighbors as that's the way we grow we're growing this community letting people know that we can help each other we can nurture each other we give good solid information and we can pray for each other so i want to encourage you to do that and i hope to be joining you soon with more biblical prescriptions for life
