Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies (IgYs) block the binding of multiple SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants to human ACE2

Shuangshi Wei et al. Int Immunopharmacol. 2021 Jan.

Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide, and there is an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic. This study evaluated the potential efficacy of Egg Yolk Antibodies (IgY) as a neutralizing agent against the SARS-CoV-2. We investigated the neutralizing effect of anti-spike-S1 IgYs on the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, as well as its inhibitory effect on the binding of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2. Our results show that the anti-Spike-S1 IgYs showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, various spike protein mutants, and even SARS-CoV in vitro. It might be a feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID-19.

Yeah agreed. It’s real.

But they still did a lot of conflation of COVID with flu where they basically called every flu-like case “COVID” to inflate the numbers.

So, I see why people say it’s not real since people know they do that shit.

The thing is, those two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. It can be real and they can also try to pass of flu cases as COVID at the same time..which is what I think they did.
