Dr. Dan Barouch, a researcher at the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center in Boston, whose studies were published in the journal Science, said that the findings suggest that they “do develop natural immunity that protects against re-exposure.“It’s very good news.”READ MORE: Boris Johnson discusses crucial coronavirus detail in phone call with Bill GatesIn the second study, Barouch and colleagues tested 25 monkeys with six prototype vaccines to see if antibodies produced in response were protective. They then exposed these monkeys and 10 control animals to SARS-CoV-2, the official name of the novel coronavirus. All of the control animals showed high degrees of virus in their noses and lungs, but in the vaccinated animals, Barouch said: “We saw a substantial degree of protection.”Eight of the vaccinated animals were completely protected.
