Yet another bold statement. If you have read Never Have Severe Cold and Flu Symptoms, Again!, you already know that getting infected with colds and flus is not avoidable, but developing symptoms is. If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to read it first. When you come back you may be asking, “How does that pertain to Covid-19?”
Well, sooner or later you will catch another virus, and one day it could be a variant of Covid-19. It’s a scary thought, but realistic. The only way the body can really learn to fight it is by being exposed to it. That’s why the vaccine was created, to prepare your body for that moment and to give it a better chance at fighting this new virus.
I think most of us know how the concept of a vaccine helps the body. A vaccine gives the body the opportunity to create antibodies for a specific virus mutation. Antibodies that, normally, your body would only get by fighting that specific virus.
I used the word opportunity because if the body can get the antibodies without having to fight the virus first, it becomes an advantage to our recovery when we do have to fight the virus. Especially, a virus that has the potential to be dangerous.
It’s also a benefit to get the antibodies from the body that are created by a process which is not a danger to the body. Getting antibodies from a vaccine “infection” is much easier on the body than getting antibodies from an actual infection.
By design, a vaccine infection doesn’t produce a threat that requires a severe immune response. Not because the threat isn’t perceived to be real, but because it doesn’t have the ability to become dangerous.
Whether the foreign cell entering the body is an actual virus or a fake one, it doesn’t make any difference to the body. It still has to go through the immune process, and part of that process is creating antibodies. And, as with all of the biological processes of the body, antibodies take time to create.
Which brings us to why having early antibodies becomes our advantage. Because having the antibodies on standby gives that specific virus less time to become a threat.
Not for the fact that the body now has the cells that can fight the virus when the virus tries to infect the body, but for the fact that it doesn’t have to wait to create them while the virus is already replicating. By having the antibodies available, the time the virus would normally have to replicate is taken away from the virus and given to the body.
Being able to respond to an infection sooner, buys the body time. And that extra time prevents the virus from overwhelming the body. That’s what the vaccine provides. An advantage. An advantage that we don’t normally get. But, the virus does, every single time.
The body is actually capable of defending against these viruses without vaccines. It just takes longer and, for that reason, it becomes harder. It becomes more severe. It becomes more deadly.
So, how does our species survive new viruses without vaccines? The immune system is very capable and it is well-informed. But why are some people dying if the immune system is so capable? Well, because “capable” is conditional. And time is a condition.
While “time” sounds somewhat obvious, it’s also relevant for the solution to fighting viruses, in general. Any extra time that the virus gets before antibodies are created, gives the virus a massive advantage. That advantage becomes our disadvantage which determines how the fight turns out.
It takes time to fight viruses. Especially viruses that are better at replicating. Time is the key. Fighting viruses in less time means fewer symptoms and faster recovery. Faster recovery promotes a higher chance of survival, even these days. And, survival is evolution, which is what everything is all about.
So, what do we know about Covid-19?
We know it’s a virus. We know it’s a respiratory virus. We know it’s related to other (corona) viruses that are already familiar to us. In other words, it’s not a virus from space or thawed from millions of years ago. So that makes it familiar to our current evolution. We know it’s contagious. And we know that people have survived it prior to the vaccine. Why is that?
Well, because the immune system knows what it’s doing. People die because their immune system gets overwhelmed by the virus replicating quickly, and not because the immune system doesn’t know how to defend against it.
It’s normal to think that a new virus type is deadly because it’s new. It may be new but it’s not unfamiliar to our species, our evolution, or our immune system’s database. That means each of our immune systems CAN defend against Covid-19. This also means that Covid-19 is only deadly if the immune system cannot manage it.
But, our immune system does know how to fight it and it does have the ability to prevent it from overwhelming the body. In anyone!
That said, I have not been infected (as far as I know) with the actual Covid-19 virus itself. I did receive the vaccines and developed no symptoms, besides fatigue. But, all my years of research and experience tells me that the people who have survived it prior to the vaccine, which is a lot, are surviving it for a reason.
And I know what that reason is.
It’s the same reason that allows people to survive the flu. Our immune system is fully capable of handling viruses, it just needs the right conditions. And time is the “condition” that our immune system is missing.
What if I told you that, even without a vaccine, the body has the ability to respond to viruses faster than it takes for them to replicate. That we can give time to the immune system to be fully prepared before a virus enters the body.
The virus stands no chance!
In my ebook, The Elusive Secret of The Immune System, I share my story of discovery on how I became symptom-free. I explain how you, too, can enhance your immune system to defend against viruses, before they have a chance to become a threat. So grab yourself a copy and choose to live symptom-free, today!
UPDATE: Shortly after Thanksgiving of 2022, I tested positive for Covid-19. I knew it was going to happen at some point but I’m glad it’s finally behind me. For someone who used to have a poor immune system, the uncertainty could mean anything. Fortunately, I can say that everything went as I expected and what I believe about the immune system is now even more true. Check out the ebook for details.
