Abstract
Antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection is a safety concern for vaccine strategies. In a recent publication, Li et al. (Cell 184 :4203–4219, 2021) have reported that infection-enhancing antibodies directed against the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein facilitate virus infection in vitro, but not in vivo. However, this study was performed with the original Wuhan/D614G strain. Since the Covid-19 pandemic is now dominated with Delta variants, we analyzed the interaction of facilitating antibodies with the NTD of these variants.
Using molecular modeling approaches, we show that enhancing antibodies have a higher affinity for Delta variants than for Wuhan/D614G NTDs. We show that enhancing antibodies reinforce the binding of the spike trimer to the host cell membrane by clamping the NTD to lipid raft microdomains. This stabilizing mechanism may facilitate the conformational change that induces the demasking of the receptor binding domain. As the NTD is also targeted by neutralizing antibodies, our data suggest that the balance between neutralizing and facilitating antibodies in vaccinated individuals is in favor of neutralization for the original Wuhan/D614G strain. However, in the case of the Delta variant, neutralizing antibodies have a decreased affinity for the spike protein, whereas facilitating antibodies display a strikingly increased affinity.
Thus, ADE may be a concern for people receiving vaccines based on the original Wuhan strain spike sequence (either mRNA or viral vectors). Under these circumstances, second generation vaccines with spike protein formulations lacking structurally-conserved ADE-related epitopes should be considered.

Important points:
- Antibodies developed from the current COVID injections cause the body to overreact to mutations like Delta, proving ADE.
- While the author recommends scrapping current jabs with newer ones, can we just admit they are all unnecessary, ineffective, and unsafe?
- Mutations/variations are a normal, mundane aspect of viral evolution, but experts are stating that mass vaccination campaigns are causing them as they push the virus to mutate to survive.
- Logic would indicate these vaccination campaigns should be stopped for this very reason, along with the fact these jabs have caused more reports of adverse reactions and death than any other jabs in the history of VAERS, and VAERS typically only captures 1% of reports, so it’s actually far, far worse in reality.
- Dr. Lee Merrit explains that ALL animals in previous mRNA biologic studies DIED from ADE (antibody dependent enhancement). Key word: ALL
- Natural immunity should be accepted and embraced, as historically it is the only thing that confers lasting immunity.
