🚨 The First Big Lie of Vaccinology: Antibody Production Is NOT Immunity, And It's Propping Up an Entire Industry Built on Deception
A damning new article just published by the Brownstone Institute on December 13, 2025, lays bare the single most pervasive deception in modern vaccine science.
Internal medicine physician Clayton J. Baker, MD, systematically dismantles the false claim that simply generating higher antibody levels in the body confers genuine, reliable immunity against disease.
This is the central pillar that has allowed pharmaceutical giants to market vaccines with flashy laboratory numbers while sidestepping the hard evidence of real-world protection.
For years, the public, physicians, and regulators have been sold the narrative that robust antibody responses equal safety from infection and severe outcomes.
Dr. Baker reveals this as a profound and dangerous oversimplification that exploits immune complexity for profit and perpetuates endless booster campaigns.
đź“Ś Here are the key points Dr. Baker drives home in his hard-hitting analysis:
1. The Core Lie: Equating Antibody Production with True Immunity
Vaccine companies aggressively promote the idea that stimulating antibodies equals disease protection. This false claim is pushed in clinical trials, press releases, and marketing to convince regulators, physicians, and the public that vaccines "work."
2. Antibody Metrics Are Misleading and Incomplete
Boasts of "4-fold increases in neutralizing antibodies"—like Pfizer's recent announcements for their LP.8.1-adapted COVID-19 shot—only prove the vaccine triggered antibody production. They say nothing about preventing infection, stopping spread, or reducing severe outcomes.
3. The Immune System Is Far More Complex Than Antibodies Alone
Antibodies are just one part (humoral immunity). True defense against viruses relies heavily on cellular immunity, including T-cells that destroy infected cells. Vaccine trials obsess over antibodies while ignoring this critical branch, oversimplifying and misrepresenting how immunity really works.
4. Targeted Antibodies Often Become Irrelevant Due to Viral Mutations
Rapidly mutating respiratory viruses like flu and SARS-CoV-2 evolve faster than vaccines can adapt. The specific antibodies induced quickly mismatch circulating strains, leaving people vulnerable despite vaccination—and setting the stage for perpetual "updated" boosters.
5. Reliance on Surrogate Markers Over Real Clinical Outcomes
Focusing on easy lab proxies like antibody titers speeds up approvals and fuels repeat sales, but it substitutes hype for hard evidence of disease prevention. This shortcut undermines trust and prioritizes profits over genuine public health.
6. Call for Rejection of This False Equivalency
Dr. Baker urges regulators, doctors, and citizens to reject antibody production as "proof" of efficacy and demand rigorous clinical outcomes—actual reductions in illness and death—instead.
This piece exposes how a single foundational falsehood has sustained an entire paradigm of vaccine development, approval, and promotion… one that treats the public as perpetual customers in a never-ending cycle of shots.
