At 1:40:22, he claims that we see young people without risk factors getting severe Covid for basically the first time only now, because they get infected in the time window right after vaccination when their antibodies are immature and only serve to crowd out innate antibodies.
That claim sounds dubious to me! Firstly, there’s always been a (small) risk for young people to develop severe Covid. The way both he and Weinstein talk about “young people are already immune” seems a bit dumb to me. Secondly, if getting infected right after vaccination increases a young person’s risk, that would show up in the data. But no one is talking about this yet. Am I missing something?
“Secondly, if getting infected right after vaccination increases a young person’s risk, that would show up in the data.”
Yes, this is what’s happening in Israel right now.
