High Number of Antibodies After Two Doses of Pfizer Vaccine
New research suggests people of all ages who have had two jabs of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine produce high numbers of antibodies.
The Imperial College London and Ipsos Mori study, React-2, said data shows that 87.9% of people over the age of 80 tested positive for antibodies after two doses.
That figure rose to 95.5% for those under 60 and 100% in those aged under 30.
However, researchers warned there was not enough data to say how protected someone may be from the virus based on a positive antibody test result, and it did not mean they were immune.

New 'Long COVID' Study , Could Lead to Future , Treatment Options.
BBC reports that people experiencing "long COVID"
have evidence of inflammation in their blood, which could
lead to further understanding and potential treatments.
A new study in the United Kingdom found the
presence of certain proteins increases the risk
for certain symptoms, including fatigue.
Long COVID is believed to impact
millions of people around the world.
Here are some of the most common symptoms.
Shortness of breath, Extreme tiredness, Brain fog.
Other symptoms of Long COVID can include
sleeping problems, loss of smell and anxiety.
The latest study by the Imperial College
London suggests that inflammation , "could be a common feature of long COVID after
hospitalization, regardless of symptom type.".
BBC reports that the findings suggest that existing drugs
used to treat other forms of inflammation, like
rheumatoid arthritis, could be effective against Long COVID.
This work provides strong evidence
that long Covid is caused by post-viral
inflammation but shows layers of complexity, Peter Openshaw, Lead research Professor, via BBC .
We hope that our work opens the way
to the development of specific tests
and treatments for the various types
of long Covid and believe that a
'one size fits all' approach to
treatment may not work, Peter Openshaw, Lead research Professor, via BBC .
The team's findings were published
in the journal 'Nature Immunology.'

Cost of Easter Eggs Rises , As Climate Change Affects Crops.
Most of the cocoa that is used to make chocolate
is grown in West Africa where a heat wave has damaged crops and cut yields, BBC reports.
This has caused the cost of some
Easter eggs to increase by 50% or more.
According to the World Weather Attribution group, the high temperatures in West Africa "were made 10 times more likely" by human-induced climate change.
According to the World Weather Attribution group, the high temperatures in West Africa "were made 10 times more likely" by human-induced climate change.
The group's study determined that West Africa will experience severe heat waves close to every two years if action is not taken. .
El Niño was also found to have played a role, although "global warming is exacerbating those changes," BBC reports. .
Increasingly, climate change driven
by fossil fuel use is multiplying this natural
challenge in many regions. It fuels more
extreme conditions, devastates harvests,
and makes food costs higher for all. , Ben Clarke, an expert on extreme weather at the
Grantham Institute at Imperial College, via BBC.
Intense rains have also plagued West Africa,
leading to a fungal infection that rots cocoa beans. .

The cost of chocolate is starting
to be affected in shops. .
Lots of players who have already
announced price increases.
We are also part of that group, Martin Hug, of chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli, via BBC
