15 studies that indicate natural immunity from prior infection is more robust than the COVID vaccines
The Blaze ^ | 8/25/2021 | Horowitz

Posted on 08/26/2021 6:17:09 AM PDT by mikelets456

Among the most fraudulent messages of the CDC's campaign of deceit is to force the vaccine on those with prior infection, who have a greater degree of protection against all versions of the virus than those with any of the vaccines. It's time to set the record straight once and for all that natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is broader, more durable, and longer-lasting than any of the shots on the market today. Our policies must reflect that reality.

can one be infected with a small dose resulting in a mild case to build up antibodies

In my mind there has never been any doubt that naturally acquired immunity by recovery from COVID-19 is robust and certainly “broader” than the more narrow immunity derived from vaccination.

It’s sad AND INFURIATING that the politically drive CDC and FDA are not really accepting of this reality.

Until America stops the false Vaccinated vs Unvaccinated dichotomy and recognizes naturally obtained immunity it is zero science and 100% kabuki theatre.

” natural immunity from prior infection is more robust than the COVID vaccines”

Is this one of those Mr Obvious articles like “Eating well can cause health”, or “’Two Taps to the Noggin takes out Zombies”??

So our immune system that God created is better than anything man can create? Hmmm

No-—there’s cited cases with links and actual proof. I keep posting stuff like this everywhere because the sheep in society believe Natural immunity does not apply to Covid. It’s simply creating another division among the sheep——I have the workplace idiocy to prove it. I sent our owners links, studies and so forth stating natural immunity is far greater protection than the vaccine-—no go! I’m the only one still required to wear a mask. Morons!

It seems evident that natural immunity is superior to the Ferret Spike for two reasons:

1. There is no world population that has a symptomatic infection rate of =>20%
I have to conclude there is an 80% T-cell immunity existing already - it is either complete or is perfected by exposure, which results in an asymptomatic case.

2. The survival rate is dramatically high worldwide, in every population...

This is a good article, even though Daniel Horowitz was a Covid denier last year.

Doesn’t matter. Only your masters. Only the science. Only the government and the science can save you with vaccines. We must stay locked down until there are zero cases...

Thanks for posting. What does our government have to gain by lying to people that natural immunity is not better than vaccine immunity. It goes against all the science. And there is plenty of it indicating that the same holds true for COVID-19.

• A study from New York University found that in COVID-19 patients, immune responses were characterized by a highly augmented interferon response which was largely absent in vaccine recipients. Increased interferon signaling likely contributed to the observed dramatic upregulation of cytotoxic genes in the peripheral T cells and innate-like lymphocytes in patients but not in immunized subjects (Immunity. 2021;Posted: 3 May 2021 http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3838993).

• A study from Washington University concludes that “our results indicate that mild infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces robust antigen-specific, long-lived humoral immune memory in humans” (Nature. 2021;595:421–425 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03647-4). “People who recover [even] from mild COVID-19 have bone-marrow cells that can churn out antibodies for decades.” Thus, aside from the robust T-cell memory that is likely lacking from most or all vaccinated individuals, prior infection creates memory B cells that “patrol the blood for reinfection, while bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) hide away in bones, trickling out antibodies for decades” as needed.

• A study on 1,359 previously infected health care workers in the Cleveland Clinic system, not a single one of them was reinfected 10 months into the pandemic, despite some of these individuals being around COVID-positive patients more than the regular population (June 19, 2021 doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.06.01.21258176). “Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before.”

• A study from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Emory University found that most recovered patients produced durable antibodies, memory B cells, and durable polyfunctional CD4 and CD8 T cells, which target multiple parts of the virus. “Taken together, these results suggest that broad and effective immunity may persist long-term in recovered COVID-19 patients,” concluded the authors (Cell Medicine. 2021;Published:July 14 DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xcrm.2021.100354). Unlike with the vaccines, no boosters are required to assist natural immunity

• A study from the University of California, Irvine concludes that “Natural infection induced expansion of larger CD8 T cell clones occupied distinct clusters, likely due to the recognition of a broader set of viral epitopes presented by the virus not seen in the mRNA vaccine” (July 21, 2021 doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.07.14.452381)..

• A study from University of California, San Francisco concluded: “In infection-naïve individuals, the second dose boosted the quantity but not quality of the T cell response, while in convalescents the second dose helped neither. Spike-specific T cells from convalescent vaccinees differed strikingly from those of infection-naïve vaccinees, with phenotypic features suggesting superior long-term persistence and ability to home to the respiratory tract including the nasopharynx” (May 12, 2021 doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.12.443888).

• A study that analyzed the population‐level risk of reinfection based on whole genome sequencing in a subset of patients with supporting evidence of reinfection. Researchers estimate the risk at 0.66 per 10,000 person-weeks. Most importantly, the study found no evidence of waning of immunity for over seven months of the follow-up period. The few reinfections that did occur “were less severe than primary infections,” and “only one reinfection was severe, two were moderate, and none were critical or fatal.” Also, unlike many vaccinated breakthrough infections in recent weeks that have been very symptomatic, “most reinfections were diagnosed incidentally through random or routine testing, or through contact tracing (Lancet. 2021;Published:April 27 DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eclinm.2021.100861).

• A study on 2,653 patients in Israel demonstrates individuals who received the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine have different kinetics of antibody levels compared to patients who had been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with higher initial levels but a much faster exponential decrease in the first group (August 22, 2021 https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.08.19.21262111).

• A review of 11 cohort studies with over 600,000 total recovered COVID patients who were followed up with over 10 months finds that unlike the vaccine, after about four to six months, they found “no study reporting an increase in the risk of reinfection over time” (Rev Med Virol. 2021;e2260 https://doi.org/10.1002/rmv.2260). “These data suggestthat naturally acquired SARS‐CoV‐2 immunity does not wane for atleast 10 months post‐infection.” “the risk of reinfection based on whole genome sequencing in a subset of patients; the estimated risk was low (0.1% [95% CI: 0.08–0.11%]).”

• A study found that “asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2–infected individuals are not characterized by weak antiviral immunity; on the contrary, they mount a highly functional virus-specific cellular immune response,” wrote the authors after studying T cell responses from both symptomatic and asymptomatic convalescent patients (J Exp Med. 2021;218:e20202617 https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20202617).

Is anyone actually keeping numbers of those who have had the rona and are ow survivors?
