The X-spurts know nothing.
“Doctor: I’m not going to comment on the very specifics of whether boosters work or not – that requires a technical examination of the evidence.
Senator: Are you aware of immune imprinting though?
Doctor: I’ve never heard of the word immune imprinting until you’ve mentioned it.”
Unbelievable. The Chair of the RACGP Expert Committee and Quality Care, and Professor of General Practice in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine at Bond University claims to have never heard of immune imprinting.
Immune imprinting occurs when the potency and breadth of immune responses to variants of the original antigen are limited upon re-exposure due to vaccinations or repeated viral infections. An antigenic seniority model suggests that earlier strains of a virus have higher seniority, and exposure to these strains results in a pattern of more robust antibody responses against these strains upon re-exposure than to subsequent strains. 👇
In others words, repeated boosting will only weaken the immune system not strengthen it.
The only thing being boosted is big pharma profits.
To think a doctor who appears at a senate inquiry as an expert on COVID has never heard of immune imprinting beggars belief.

Senator RENNICK: Thanks, Chair. Professor Morgan, you mentioned it was a shame about the purposeful blindness of people who want to ignore the facts. Do you include the health profession itself—the doctors and the nurses who weren’t given the product assessment report and the nonclinical report, and also the fact that boosters ignored the risk of immune imprinting? It’s well-known you’re not supposed to overuse antibiotics and you’re supposed to finish your antibiotic course so that the bacteria doesn’t build up a resistance to the antibiotics, yet the medical profession has continued to promote boosters knowing that viruses mutate much more easily in bacteria. What are your comments with regard to the failure to alert people to the risk of immune imprinting?
Prof. Morgan: I don’t think the medical profession knows. Certainly our members and the people I have contact with have the interests of patients at heart and as their motivation in trying to get effective health care. They don’t have any partisan drivers [inaudible]. They want to do the best for their patients. They want to be informed and to have a conversation with their patients about pros and cons of treatments that are being offered. And they want to have believable, effective and timely information on which to make decisions and to give advice. Information does need to be balanced, and it does need to be accurate. I’m not going to comment on the specifics of whether boosters work or not. That requires a technical examination of the evidence.
Senator RENNICK: Are you aware of immune imprinting though? I mean it’s—
Prof. Morgan: Not by that terminology at all. To be fair, I’ve never heard of the phrase ‘immune imprinting’ until you mentioned it.
Senator RENNICK: Thanks. That’s all I need to know.
