New Studies Find Evidence Of 'Superhuman' Immunity To COVID-19 In Some Individuals

Some scientists have called it 'superhuman immunity' or 'bulletproof.' But immunologist Shane Crotty prefers 'hybrid immunity.' 'Overall, hybrid immunity to SARS-CoV-2 appears to be impressively potent,' Crotty wrote in commentary in Science back in June. No matter what you call it, this type of immunity offers much-needed good news in what seems like an endless array of bad news regarding COVID-19. Over the past several months, a series of studies has found that some people mount an extraordinarily powerful immune response against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19.
