Natural Killer Cells in new Weapon against the SARS-Covi-2

Now, we may understand that NK cells may be a new weapon to combat Covid-19, probably in the early stage of infection and as an important protection against the SARS-Covi-2. Some recent information from health authorities have shown that the vaccine is far from being effective protection against the virus because even if it protects vaccinated persons it still doesn’t protect from infecting other people. In some studies concerning the vaccine against flu, it has been shown that aged persons with a weak immune system have little or no result from the vaccine since their immune response is very slow to respond.

Again if you have a good immune system no matter the age you probably do not need vaccination against flu but you do need to be healthier. I believe that medicine has totally lost the notion of what a healthy person means, in comparison with an unhealthy person; and therefore, doctors think vaccination is the answer against the flu with a large campaign of publicity.

Therefore, the use of RBAC as protection, or taking it before the vaccine can increase the response, since RBAC can kill virus infected cells. When combined with other compounds, increasing the activity of NK cells early on may have several protective advantages such as avoiding hospitalization.
