  • The same news got posted to reddit over a year ago(https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/pd5v8r/antibody_found_that_neutralizes_all_known_strains/) and someone commented something similar to your comment. Because I am lazy, I am simply quoting, whatI wrote back then:

    That is not how vaccinations work! If it did, fighting viruses would be far easier.

    If you inject a load of mRNA that forces your cells to produce this antibody, you are basically doing the same as if you only inject the antibody itself. Itcan fight off a covid infection for as long as this one “wave” of antibodies is active in your body.

    What you need is an mRNA-sequence that forces your cells to produce something or a part of the original virus that makes your immune system react in such a way that it will produce this specific antibody on its own and “remeber the blueprint”. Then you have an immunity.

    If they can find out what part of the SAARS-virus led to this immune reaction in the original patient and this proves to be reproducible and safe in other patients, then we would have a vaccination.

    The antibody itself is a great hope as a treatment for already infected patients and maybe even as a short time prevention for infection.
