Natural immunity found to be as effective as COVID vaccine — 3 years after mandates: Lancet study
NY Post ^ | February 27, 2023 | By Andrew Court

Posted on 02/27/2023 10:06:35 AM PST by BenLurkin

Years after the rollout of vaccine mandates that led to the firing of thousands of workers, the Lancet has reported that natural immunity is just as effective as two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer shots in preventing both reinfection and serious illness from COVID-19.

The findings, which were published in the February edition of the prestigious medical journal, were based on a review of 65 separate studies from 19 different countries.

“Although protection from reinfection from all variants wanes over time, our analysis of the available data suggests that the level of protection afforded by previous infection is at least as high, if not higher than that provided by two-dose vaccination using high-quality mRNA vaccines,”

According to the Lancet’s findings, protection against reinfection from the original strain of COVID, as well as the alpha and delta variants, stood at an average of 78.6% 40 weeks on from the initial infection. However, protection against reinfection by the omicron variant declined more rapidly and was estimated at 36.1% 40 weeks on.

Meanwhile, protection against severe disease (i.e. hospitalization or death) remained high across all variants, at more than 88% 40 weeks on from initial infection.

Only 16% of the US population has received the updated booster dose for COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, just [?] 69% of the population has completed a primary series of vaccines.

Bear in mind the supposed experts ( Hospitals)
fired Nurses and Docters, even IF they could prove they had covid and recovered.

My wife lost her job at a hospital as a Nurse and SHE HAD COVID and recovered.

The clot shot WAS NEVER ABOUT covid! Common sense dictates otherwise with such polices as “get numerous shots even if you had covid”

When someone tells / forces you to do something that obviously adds no value(and in this case was well known to be unscientific, getting the shot even when you have covid and recovered already), there motives are always malicious.

Yeah, but without the jabs you don’t get to enjoy all the free strokes, heart attacks, and long term fertility issues

Better

Boosters are required weeks later to extend the effect of the jabs ...

Natural immunization barely fades over years

I had my antibodies tested in Sept 2021 and then in Sept 2022

Hardly any difference ...

BTW my tiny bout with the Wu Hu Flu was in the early spring of 2020

My antibodies were the best kind ...

Doesn’t Trump continue to advise people to get the shots?

The crazy people were right again and the experts were wrong again.

Yep.

Simply put, “vaccines” are poor tools against viruses that mutate quickly. Something they have been suppressing about flu vaccines too.

We figured that out by the late spring of 2020. NOW they tell us. Lawsuits against every COVID vaccine manufacturer coming soon.

Who are the science deniers? Those that claim everyone else is a science denier——

BTW, Natural immunity has been the science since 680 BC

1. There is no such thing as natural immunity to a novel, non natural virus. There may be recovered immunity, but this absurd “natural” label is PR by people with agenda.

2. 33% protection against Omicron (which would be the initial version of Omicron, not the later variants such as the one that just generated all time high deaths in Japan) is not impressive.

3. All health ministries around the world embraced the concept of vaccination, which was not avant garde or revolutionary. It is the approach ALL health ministries take against viruses. Why? Why, when recovered immunity is similarly effective? Because that infection kills often. Vaccines around the world, all of them, would not be released if they killed old folks more often than the virus did, and still is.

You are a jerk who wants to force your will on others making them inject substance in their body against their will!

!. The definition of natural Immunity has been around for a VERY long time, take your word games meant to lie by confusion and shove it where the sun does not shine!

2 Your statement about Omicron is garbage, the natural immunity you get against Omicron is better than any jab, if you knew anything at all you would know they NEVER created a new formula of the vaccination, every dose you get is the same composition. They literally where guessing and hoping with Omicron when they told you to get the booster for it.

3. Until the definition for vaccination was changed the jab was not even classified as one. That you use an appeal to authority logical fallacy on this point shows how little you know of anything related to this issue and medicine in general

Go away you are spreading lies that will hurt people

My very smart MD knows how many supplements I take every morning and did not suggest vaccine for me. 12 supplements per day including 1000 mg C, which I’ve taken every morning for the last 50 years. He actually prescribes my supplements, making them deductible med expenses.

Then by all means, go get as many shots and boosters as you can get.

I’m not getting them. Perfectly healthy without them.

How many more years before they admit how ridiculous it is to think that there could ever be an effective vaccine for a coronavirus.

And if one day some genius does come up with a cure for colds or flus, they’ll probably be bankrupted, imprisoned, or murdered.

The virus and vaccine lockdown was part and parcel of the plan to steal the 2020 election.
The rats had nothing to run on, absolutely nothing.
So the colluded with China and the NWO to release a virus that they thought could be controlled by big pharma.
Lots of people died but vote by mail and election month became acceptable to the people. And let the cheating begin. They proved they could still do it in 2022.
What makes you think 2024 or any other election will not be stolen?
