News Analysis Real-world data is not showing antibody-dependent enhancement of disease occurring in COVID-19 vaccinated populations, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said in an interview on The Sharyl Attkisson Podcast on Sunday. Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), also known as vaccine-enhanced disease, occurs when certain antibodies produced by a vaccine don’t protect an individual from infection but enhances viral entrance, making the disease worse. “Cases in places that are heavily vaccinated, cases go up but deaths don’t go up nearly as much as they would have last year in an unvaccinated population,” Bhattacharya said. “That’s evidence against any macro-level impact of antibody-dependent enhancement.” “You would have expected that death would actually go up relative to what it was last year if ADE was a really important phenomenon in the data. But that’s not what I’m currently seeing.” Instead, Bhattacharya says the data seems to suggest that there is a decoupling of cases and deaths, …
