⚠️ Posts falsely claim 'WEF wants eggs banned' following Covid study
, an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, told AFP they were unable to conclude that eggs can guard against the virus in humans without further studies.
While the team found certain antibodies within egg yolks extracted from hens immunised against Covid-19 had a neutralising effect on the virus, Duan stressed that the study had been conducted in vitro -- outside of a human body -- and that the study used a modified version of the virus known as a pseudovirus.
"Our study only shows that the SARS-CoV-2 immunised egg yolk antibody has a significant inhibitory effect on replication and proliferation of the pseudovirus in vitro," he said."At this stage, we cannot infer if this antibody is effective in the prevention of contracting Covid-19 in humans. We need more studies for that."
Another study cited in the article claims that"researchers at the University of California, Davis have been able to produce antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in hen eggs".says researchers -- who used hens immunised with a vaccine based on the Covid-19 virus -- were working"to develop the egg-based antibody technology".
While researchers hope"to deploy these antibodies in a preventative treatment such as a spray, that could be used by people at high risk of exposure to coronavirus", neither the statement
