This just came out today, the research citations are in the article:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/15/health/coronavirus-vaccine-immune-system.html

"In one such study, British researchers followed nearly 7,000 people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis from 90 hospitals in the country. They found that less than half of patients who took Remicade mounted an immune response following coronavirus infection."

I read the link. If you read the study about the vaccine it links in the article it says it didn’t do much after the 1st Pfizer or AstraZeneca shot but response was great after the second. Someone shared that particular study a week or two ago and the whole thing was saying not to delay the 2nd dose in those on Remcade because the 1st dose wasn’t enough. The article seems to be pushing another form of treatment.

Good to know! I might be eligible for the AstraZeneca in 2 weeks.
