(Getty Images)  \nNew Pre-Print Study Implies Airborne Antibodies From Vaccine  \nA new pre-print study published by the University of Colorado concluded that antibodies can be transmitted through aerosols .  \nIn the study, unvaccinated children living in either vaccinated or unvaccinated households were nasal swabbed for COVID-19 antibodies .  \nThe authors, led by Dr. Ross Kedl, found that children living with vaccinated parents have higher concentration of COVID-19 antibodies in their swabs than children living in unvaccinated households .  \nAntibodies are immune markers, and each person’s collection of antibodies is a reflection of immunization and infection history. The presence of each antibody indicates that the person may have been exposed to a particular infection or vaccine the antibody fights against.  \nTherefore, a person is only supposed to display antibodies to COVID-19 if they have been infected or vaccinated. Yet, these children have not been vaccinated against nor infected with COVID-19. Why do they have antibodies?  \nThe authors of the study reasoned that the vaccinated parents likely passed their antibodies to the children. They produced antibodies from the vaccine, these antibodies accumulated in the nasal cavities and became airborne . Their children then breathed the antibodies in, accumulating COVID-19 antibodies in their nasal cavities .  \nThis is a plausible speculation as it is well documented that bodily fluids including breastmilk, saliva, tears, and sweat contain antibodies. Mothers are also recommended to breastfeed their babies, as it provides their babies with antibodies, protecting them from infection .  \nStill, though we know that antibodies can be present in bodily fluids, we do not know if antibodies can become airborne .  \nTo support their speculation that antibodies maybe airborne, the authors tested face masks from vaccinated individuals and found COVID-19 antibodies on the masks .  \nThe authors therefore argued that since everyone breathes into their masks, the COVID-19 antibodies found on the masks could be evidence that antibodies can be aerosolized, and therefore transmitted to others .  \nThough, the authors conceded that some antibodies could have came off from saliva and sweat.  \nHowever, internal medicine practitioner and integrative and chelating specialist Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea questioned the conclusion .  \nShe told The Epoch Times that the study leaves alot open to interpretation, and the same findings can also be used to support speculations of vaccine shedding.  \n“[The study] says that the antibodies are being transferred,” she said.“But could it be that the spike protein has been transferred [through contact through skin] and the child has mounted its own antibody response? I don’t think that that’s really clear.”  \nPhotograph of Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea.
