Why do some people not get COVID symptoms? Here's what scientists recently found out about the genetic advantage of "super dodgers."

Here is the study the article references:

This is interesting and goes a long way to explain symptomless covid.

It may be moot because of the vaccines but is it possible to “share” this immunity in ways other than heredity? Can we make it injectable?

The study was specifically using samples they had before the pandemic hit. They did go into more studies (to try and verify their findings) that did include a vaccinated person, but they were mainly focused on samples before the pandemic/vaccines.

They go into the possible short-fallings of their studies, but nonetheless it does show promising interest

And idk if it could become something “injectable”, but I think that would be the goal. Or to at least have a better understanding of how to make vaccines more effective/targeted. I’m not sure, but I’ve always said from the beginning of the pandemic, “I can’t wait to see the studies that will come from this over the next following years/decades”.
