Here is an interesting and useful explanation of how COVID effects 
change as we grow older. I've pasted in some highlights here, and the 
full article from Katelyn Jetelina is below.--Manny

"We already see benefits with older people vaccinated with one booster 
dose having 4 times the risk of dying compared to people with two 
booster doses. (Unvaccinated people had 42 times the risk of dying from 
COVID-19 compared to those with 2 boosters.)...But, the FDA needs to 
require pharmaceutical companies to test B cell and T cell functions—not 
just neutralizing antibodies—to assess the added benefit, instead of 
retrospectively determining good or bad policy...Only 39.8% 
<https://substack.com/redirect/4e41f6eb-ee10-4ce8-bf3a-bab5434b45da?r=a13t>of 
65+ year olds are up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccines. The best thing that 
this group can do is to fill the holes in their immunity walls by 
staying up-to-date. This also highlights that we cannot rely on immune 
systems alone, especially people aged 50+. /Everyone else/also needs to 
do their part 
<https://substack.com/redirect/8f318fd0-9660-4130-8df9-b4c2ac9ec5cf?r=a13t>(still) 
to keep the more vulnerable safe. "

Why older people are at higher risk for severe COVID-19
Age is the strongest predictor of COVID-19 severe disease and death. 
Even though those aged 65+ are the leaders in vaccination rates, they 
continue to lead hospitalizations in the U.S. and across the globe. But… 
why? An onslaught of scientific information can tell us why this may be 
the case. I worked with

Age is the strongest predictor of COVID-19 severe disease and death. 
Even though those aged 65+ are the leaders in vaccination rates, they 
continue to lead hospitalizations in the U.S. and across the globe.

But… /why/?


	<https://substack.com/redirect/d29c4a66-f9bd-4053-ac6b-2585f5620a84?r=a13t> 	

Hospital admissions by age group (CDC)

An onslaught of scientific information can tell us why this may be the 
case. I worked with Edward Nirenberg 
<https://substack.com/redirect/c62d9705-e347-4f6c-973c-b3ea498cc14e?r=a13t>to 
translate the science to show why boosters among this population, 
especially, should be of utmost priority.


        *First wall of defense: Degrading*
        <https://substack.com/redirect/a1c08070-ff92-409a-9a76-ef469e60af55?r=a13t>

We have a complex immune system, but for simplicity, we can reduce it to 
a few major walls of defense.

The first wall is neutralizing antibodies. These antibodies are powerful 
because they act fast—you inhale the virus and neutralizing antibodies 
stop the virus before there’s a chance for it to get into your cells 
(and start replicating). This prevents infection from happening in the 
first place. The issue is that it’s essentially impossible to retain a 
high level of neutralizing antibodies without regular, repeated 
exposures—and it gets even harder as you get older.

A recent preprint 
<https://substack.com/redirect/84d9d526-1d80-4a64-a91d-7dea5f75bcd9?r=a13t>study 
found that the number of neutralizing antibodies you make in response to 
infection differs by age: the older you are, the fewer neutralizing 
antibodies you have (see figure below). In fact, when faced with 
Omicron, 43% of people had /no /detectable neutralizing activity and, 
among those, the mean age was 63.5 years.


	<https://substack.com/redirect/20438e07-06e6-41c4-aecf-801bf3595918?r=a13t> 	

Bates et al., preprint; Source here 
<https://substack.com/redirect/84d9d526-1d80-4a64-a91d-7dea5f75bcd9?r=a13t>

Another important aspect of antibodies is not just the sheer number we 
have, but also the ability for the same antibody to recognize different 
variants of the same part of spike. Scientists found that antibodies 
among people 65+ years old were less likely to recognize multiple 
variants’ spikes compared to antibodies among those less than 65 years old.


        Second wall of defense: Solid
        <https://substack.com/redirect/cb03791c-823f-47bd-a56d-9d62f038ff13?r=a13t>

Another line of defense are memory B cells. When we come in contact with 
a virus after having been vaccinated or previously infected, B cells 
remember what they need to create and start pumping out antibodies to 
help fight the virus. B cells can be quickly called in the event that 
more antibodies are needed.

An article 
<https://substack.com/redirect/30f090ca-9528-4b30-8664-aeb0833cf141?r=a13t>published 
this week showed that B cell levels largely did /not /differ by age, 
which is great news. This wall of defense is solid. The challenge, 
however, is that for B cells to live up to their potential, they need 
the help of another wall: T cells.


        Third wall of defense: Degraded
        <https://substack.com/redirect/2a5359e8-b0d7-4b5d-a443-f1f3fe9d8290?r=a13t>

The third wall of defense is T cells. T cells are a key factor 
<https://substack.com/redirect/8d13e042-a930-4c95-8859-40fae0e4058e?r=a13t>in 
determining the outcome of infections (severe or mild disease). There 
are two major groups of T cells.

  *

    /*Killer T cells */recognize and kill infected cells

  *

    /*Helper T cells*/help B cells make antibodies and instruct B cells
    to make better antibodies

This means that while T cells can’t stop infections from happening 
altogether, they can rapidly control them once they start, potentially 
even to the point that people don’t have symptoms.

But there’s a challenge with T cells. Once we reach puberty, the thymus 
(the organ that gives rise to T cells) gradually degrades into a useless 
blob of fat and we stop making new T cells. There’s an especially big 
decline 
<https://substack.com/redirect/f09ca59c-af75-476b-be75-70dbf59378d0?r=a13t>once 
we hit about age 40. This is usually okay because we typically 
accumulate all of the T cells we need throughout our lifespan. Unless a 
totally new microbe comes along that we have no exposure to (and 
fortunately, though SARS-CoV-2 is new, it’s still a coronavirus, so 
there is T cell memory from old coronavirus infections to work with). 
But as we get older, just like the rest of the body, our T cells age too.

Unfortunately, we see T cell dysfunction in COVID-19. Anarticle 
<https://substack.com/redirect/30f090ca-9528-4b30-8664-aeb0833cf141?r=a13t>published 
this week showed that the diversity of T cells for those aged 50+ years 
is much more limited than those under 50 at infection. Once symptoms 
resolved, there was restoration but people over 50 can’t really make 
full use of this unless they are infected again.


        Implications
        <https://substack.com/redirect/48e8498d-aafc-431f-9ed8-af16977d117f?r=a13t>

Two of the three defense walls among people over 50 years old have more 
holes than those of younger people. Comorbidities also increase with 
age, which means the immune response in general is a lot more taxed. 
This means the rate of breakthrough cases, and specifically /severe 
/breakthrough cases, is substantially higher for older people.

The good news is that the immune system is still working for a majority 
of people. We clearly see that the risk of severe disease even in the 
very elderly dramatically declines 
<https://substack.com/redirect/94861a88-0e4b-478b-b798-223cc4cd76ed?r=a13t>with 
even just the primary vaccine series.


	<https://substack.com/redirect/074ea170-42c7-4bb9-9339-4e2b362434bd?r=a13t> 	

(CDC)

However, it may take more doses to coax immune systems into doing the 
things we want. This may mean more frequent boosting in older age 
groups. We already see benefits with older people vaccinated with one 
booster dose having 4 times the risk of dying compared to people with 
two booster doses. (Unvaccinated people had 42 times the risk of dying 
from COVID-19 compared to those with 2 boosters.)


	<https://substack.com/redirect/ca53bfca-a87c-4acb-8bc5-57c4e49ea272?r=a13t> 	

How much each incremental booster helps (or does not help) is something 
that we really don’t have a good grip on /prospectively/. For example, 
we didn’t really know a second booster was needed among 50+ year olds. 
We kind of guessed and relied on data from Israel (and the recent 
articles suggests why 50 might be a key age). Retrospectively, we can 
see that this was certainly the right policy call. But, the FDA needs to 
require pharmaceutical companies to test B cell and T cell functions—not 
just neutralizing antibodies—to assess the added benefit, instead of 
retrospectively determining good or bad policy.


        *Bottom line*
        <https://substack.com/redirect/d07cba12-4cf5-4c88-bd0e-7c724c2931f8?r=a13t>

Only 39.8% 
<https://substack.com/redirect/4e41f6eb-ee10-4ce8-bf3a-bab5434b45da?r=a13t>of 
65+ year olds are up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccines. The best thing that 
this group can do is to fill the holes in their immunity walls by 
staying up-to-date. This also highlights that we cannot rely on immune 
systems alone, especially people aged 50+. /Everyone else/also needs to 
do their part 
<https://substack.com/redirect/8f318fd0-9660-4130-8df9-b4c2ac9ec5cf?r=a13t>(still) 
to keep the more vulnerable safe.
