27、press his dissatisfaction with societycA doctor named Chepuniov from Siberia conducted a controversial coronavirus iinmunity test after surviving COXTD-19 in March. The 68-year-old Russian doctor spent time with coronavirus-positive patients without wearing a mask to see if he could get a second COV

28、ED-19 infection. The doctor was infected a second time and experienced a worse COVTD-19 case than he had pre4ously.This unusual coronavirus immunity test can easily be filed under the “only in Russia" section of COVID-19 news. Only in Russia was a coronavirus vaccine approved for mass use befor

29、e any scientific research was shared with the world and before the drug cleared the Phase 3 trial. The stoiy gets even crazier, considering the doctor's age. At 68-yearg-old?

30、's controversial experiment isn't without worth. It's certainly the kind of experiment that others wouldn't necessarily approve especially in western countries. But it's the kind of experiment that can yield results and Chepuniov did get his wish. He was reinfected with COXTD- 19

33、sts that other immuiie system components are indeed involved in providing prolonged protection. Others theorized that T cells would extend iinmunity beyond the Efe of the first batch of antibodies. Chepumov's einpiiical findings are also ii叩ortant fbr vaccine research. If immunity lasts less tha

34、n a year, more booster shots （加強(qiáng)針劑）might be needed after the initial doses.But Newsweek points out a problem with the experiment. Because his first case of COXTD-19 hasn't been diagnosed via a PCR test. Also, Chepumov's experiment hasn't been published in a scientific journal, and it'

35、;s unclear xdiat scientific rigoi-s were applied Still, if his findings are accurate, Chepumov is actually right to warn against using a herd immunity approach to beat the pandemic.28.
