we all know covid can sometimes spread among family members sharing space in the same household but the symptoms are not always equal and a recent stanford study reveals why young children have milder covid symptoms than adults. i spoke with a stanford professor of microbiology and immunology about these findings. >> one of the striking features is that babies who develop covid developed an antibody response to this infection which was highly doable for 300 plus days after the infection. this was an unusual response. as you know, antibody responses to infections tend to decline with the time. this was not apparent with these infections and these babies. what this highlights to us is that there could be mechanisms by which you could train the immune system to give you more doable antibody responses. i should emphasize that these findings should not be extrapolated to vaccines because vaccines, as

constantly exposed to all kinds of benign coronaviruses because -- i think these benign exposures to other viruses may imprint a degree of resistance that might impact how they respond to covid. >> i also asked the doctor about the risk factors for kids to develop a more severe case of covid. he says babies who are immunodeficient, premature or have lung issues are more at risk. he also pointed to studies that have shown unvaccinated babies tend to develop more severe disease than those who are vaccinated once they are old enough to get one. we are continuing our celebration of hispanic heritage month. one of the biggest rising stars in latin music. are sound infuses reggaeton and regional mexican music and she is from right
