Vaccinated People Are Immune Imprinted, Have Unusual Response to COVID-19 mRNA Boosters
Immune imprinting occurs when previous exposures leave such a strong immune memory that the body continues to produce antibodies targeting the past experience.
People who have taken at least three doses of the original version of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine have been strongly immune imprinted, a study by the University of Washington (UW) found.
Consequently, when vaccinated with the most recent COVID-19 XBB.1.5 mRNA boosters, recipients produced few to no antibodies specific to the XBB.1.5 variant.
Immune imprinting occurs when previous infections or vaccinations leave such a strong immune memory that the body continues to produce immune cells and antibodies targeting the previous immune experience—even when exposed to a new variant or vaccine.
“[Immune imprinting] could be a problem if the person was unable to mount a useful immune response against a new variant,” Dr. Stanley Perlman, an immunologist and microbiologist at the University of Iowa, told The Epoch Times. He was not involved in the study.
While that did not occur in this study, most of the antibodies made following vaccination targeted the original COVID-19 variant and not XBB.1.5.
Surprising Findings
“Imprinting is not a new concept, but the situation we are looking at seems to be quite unique,” said David Veesler, who has a doctorate in structural biology, is a professor and chair in the Department of Biochemistry at UW, and an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, in a press release.
Immune imprinting is a well-recognized phenomenon that can occur with other infections and viruses.
New influenza infections distinct from previous variants can overcome imprinting from influenza vaccinations and infections.
However, in the UW study, immune imprinting persisted even among those infected with new omicron variants.
“It is completely different from what we know from the influenza virus,” said Mr. Veesler.

I gag when I hear politicians say that the vaxxes have saved millions of lives when excess deaths have risen wherever they’ve been rolled out. Both the virus and vaxxes have done untold damage to human health; it will take generations to assess and try to correct.
A good friend died in hospital in Vancouver BC. He was fully vaccinated and boosted. Prior to passing he was bed ridden for a month. The attending physician, when asked what had killed him, by my friend’s daughter replied, ADE. Was really surprised that the Dr had the stones to state that.
I’m no virologist or biologist. I wish someone would contrast, Original Antigenic Sin,
ADE and Pathogenic Priming to what’s been described in this article. Could really use a whiteboard session or simple explanation.
Also, I had read prior to the bioweapon rollout that they had never found a viable candidate for a coronavirus as all candidates resulted in ADE.
Wow! Thank you Elliott.
