Omicron variant's 'milder' outcomes may be due to more population immunity

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant's "milder" outcomes are likely due to more population immunity compared to earlier waves of the pandemic rather than the virus's properties, according to a paper by William Hanage, associate professor of epidemiology and co-director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Roby Bhattacharyya, assistant professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School and associate member at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

Study discovers how long-term memory T cells are formed after SARS-CoV-2 exposure

Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 by infection or vaccination generates immune cells that provide long-term immunity. These long-lived memory T cells play a key role in preventing severe cases of Covid-19. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now discovered how these memory T cells form.
